# React-demo [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/rpominov/react-demo.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/rpominov/react-demo) A React-component for creating demos of other components. See also [react-demo-library](https://github.com/rpominov/react-demo-library) ## Example ```js import React from 'react' import Demo, {props as P} from 'react-demo' import MyButton from './my-components/MyButton' React.render(, el) ``` ![](http://g.recordit.co/IgZ2E9IUTm.gif) See [examples/index.js](https://github.com/rpominov/react-demo/blob/master/examples/index.js) for more examples. You can play with it online at [webpackbin.com](http://www.webpackbin.com/4J0Js5QAg), or to run them locally do the following: ``` $ npm install $ npm run examples $ open http://localhost:3000 ``` ## Installation ``` $ npm install react-demo ``` ## API ### The `Demo` component `Demo` is the main component of this library. It allows us to create a demo of our components with controllable props. ```js import Demo from 'react-demo' ``` #### `target` The target component that we want to create a demo of. #### `fullWidth` If set to `true` full page width will be available to the demo target component. More precisely full width that avaliable to the `Demo` component. #### `background` Sets the background of the demo. Available options are `"light"`, `"dark"`, and `"none"`. The default value is `"light"` which gives us a Photoshop style light "transparent" background. #### `codeIndentDepth` Specifies indentation of component code that is shown in control panel. The more the value the deeper indentation will go. #### `props` This property allows us to configure the props for the demo target. Accepts an object `{[propName]: propConfig}`. For each specified `propName` will be created a control on the panel, and the prop value will pe passed to the target component. The functions that can create `propConfig` objects are available in `Demo.props`, and described bellow in this docs. ### Available `Demo.props` #### `props.string(initialValue)` Creates a string input in the panel. ```js import Demo, {props as P} from 'react-demo' ``` #### `props.number(initialValue)` Creates a number input in the panel. ```js import Demo, {props as P} from 'react-demo' ``` #### `props.text(initialValue)` The same as `props.string` but uses a textarea as the control, which allows us to input multiline strings. ```js import Demo, {props as P} from 'react-demo' ``` #### `props.bool(initialValue)` Creates a checkbox on the panel. ```js import Demo, {props as P} from 'react-demo' ``` #### `props.choices(options, [initialValue])` Creates a select input in the panel. The `options` argument can be either an array of available options, or an object `{[label]: value}`. Note that we can pass objects of any type in `options` no matter if we use array or object. When array is used the values will be stringified before using as labels in the control. Acepts optional `initialValue` as a second argument. By default the first option is used as the initial value. ```js import Demo, {props as P} from 'react-demo' ]), bar: P.choices({ one: 1, two: 'two', three: , }), }} /> ``` #### `props.shape(props)` Creates a nested object properties configuration which can include any property configuration from this list. ```js import Demo, {props as P} from 'react-demo' ``` #### `props.json(initialValue)` Allows us to input arbitrary json as a prop value. Uses enhanced textarea as a control. ```js import Demo, {props as P} from 'react-demo' ``` #### `props.constant(value)` Allows us set a constant value for a prop. Doesn't create a control on the panel. ```js import Demo, {props as P} from 'react-demo' ``` #### `props.callback.log([mapFn])` Creates a log widget in the panel, and passes a callback to the target component. Accepts optional `mapFn` that allows us to transform callback args before they will be shown in the log. Usable when we don't want to see huge event objects in the log for instance. ```js import Demo, {props as P} from 'react-demo' ``` #### `props.callback.logLatest([mapFn])` Same as `callback.log`, but shows only the last item in the log. Usable if callback may be called too frequently. ```js import Demo, {props as P} from 'react-demo' ``` ### Advanced mode The advanced mode allows us to create more complex demos. To use advanced mode instead of specifying `target` prop, pass a custom render function as a child of `Demo`. The custom render fucntion accepts `props` as the first argument. The following two snippets are equivalent. ```js // Normal mode // Same in advanced mode {props => } ``` In the advanced mode we also get access to the `update` function, using which we are able to update the demo props' values. The `update` function is passed as a second argument to the custom render function. We're supossed to call `update()` similary to `setState()` — passing an object with props that we want to change. ```js { (props, update) => {update({value: e.target.value})}} /> } ```
