snabbdom-module-aframe

Snabbdom module to directly set A-Frame components.

The standard Snabbdom attributes modules does not support objects or arrays, but the A-Frame elements implement a custom setAttribute method that can accept objects arrays making updating multi-property components a lot easier. This module simply introduces some Snabbdom data objects that directly use the A-Frame method.

The module does not check to see if an element is from A-Frame before applying attributes this way; use with caution.

Installation

NPM

const snabbdomModuleAframe = require('@scio/snabbdom-module-aframe')

Unpkg

<script src="https://unpkg.com/@scio/snabbdom-module-aframe/dist/snabbdom-aframe.min.js"></script>

Global: snabbdomModuleAframe

Usage

The module implements the following Snabbdom data object behaviors:

aframe

Behaves like the built-in attributes module, but can accept objects and arrays and clobbers them directly using thesetAttribute method.

In case of an attribute that had been previously added/set and is no longer present in the aframe object, it is removed from the DOM element's attribute list using removeAttribute.

aframeUpdate

Like the aframe object, but does not clobber values or remove absent attributes.

aframeClobber

Like the aframeUpdate object, but does clobber values.

aframeRemove

Removes any attributes present in the object as keys. Values for the keys are ignored.

Yes, this could have been an array of strings, but I wanted to the three objects similar.

Example

const main = ({ DOM }) => {
  return {
    DOM: xs.periodic(1000 / 30).map(count =>

      h('a-scene', [
        h("a-sphere", {
          aframe: {
            position: { x: 0, y: 1+Math.sin(count / 30), z: -5 },
            radius: 1.25,
            color: "#EF2D5E"
          }
        }),
      ])
                                    
    )
  }
}

const drivers = {
  DOM: makeDOMDriver("body", {
    modules: [
      snabbdomModuleAframe
    ]
  })
}

run(main, drivers)
