grass-roots-react

A state-full react library

grass-roots-react is UNDER CONSTRUCTION

The docs below are far from complete, check in everynow and then to see where it's at.

See the quick start guide to give it a try, however it is limited and currently has no support =(

quick start guide

Install

npm install grass-roots-react

Use

import { Container, Button } from 'grass-roots-react'

function handleClick(){
  console.log("CLICK")
}

<Container>
  <Button 
    text='press'
    color='rgb(255,125,125)'
  />
  <Button
    text='console log a "click"'
    color='#000'
    skin='flat'
    onClick={handleClick}
  />
<Container/>

Introduction

grass-roots-react is a stateful library. Most components have internal states that allow the component to function independently from a global store or parent container logic. This allows for drag and drop, copy and paste components that will work anywhere in your build. The downside is a little bit of prop drilling, but we have designed our components to minimise this.

Grass roots?

Yeah, grass roots. We're leaveraging lift up state (with a few custom hooks, more on that later) on most of our elements so that data flows both ways, connecting your app from the ground-up as well as the top down. You'll probably need a global store for complex apps, but until that: no need!

Wrappers and Components

There are two types of Groot elements.

• Wrappers: wrap around existing elements and provide functionality or styling. These will always wrap existing Groot components and wrappers, your own elements or html elements.

  <Wrapper>
    <WrappedComponent/>
    <Wrapper>
      <p>this is also wrapped</p>
    <Wrapped/>
  </Wrapper>

• Components: stand alone components <Component/>

See the docs for prop options that you can pass to each element.

liftUpState Hook

You can leverage the Hook useLiftState() to get state from any child componenet; provided that the component has state designed to be hooked into of course

const [ liftedStates, liftUpState ] = useLiftState();

<ResultContainer {...liftUpState}> 
  <DataTemplate/>
<ResultContainer/>

Here we're accessing the internal state of the result container, you can now use liftedStates.setResultContainer(<data>) to set the data in the result container. Here, is a component you've created that displays the data in an object. It should take in a single prop called data.

container

You will be familiar with the idea of a container from other frameworks. In our framework, you can wrap elements in a container by using the container tag <container> </container>

by default, the container has this width profile | xs | s | m | l | xl | |----|---|---|---|----| | 90%|85%|80%|75%| 70%|

Options

you can change this by simply passing the option as a prop into the Container tag

Examples

card

<Card> </Card>

Examples

infoBite

      <p> sentance relating to the title or heading </p>
  </InfoBite>

Options

Examples

typography

arctxt

Make circular text with the arctxt element <Arctxt> text to arc </Arctxt>

Options

.radius- .letter-spacing- .word-spacing- .offset-

Examples

mirrortxt

Project text onto a mirror. <mirrortxt> text to apply a mirror effect </mirrortxt> By default this will show the unmirrored text, the mirrored text, and a stylised divider The 'mirror' will be placed on the right of the text

Options

.mirrored-only <mirrortxt class="mirrored-only">...</mirrortxt> Only shows the mirrored text .no-divider <mirrortxt class="no-divider">...</mirrortxt> removes the stylised divider .left <mirrortxt class="left">...</mirrortxt> places the 'mirror' on the left of the text .top <mirrortxt class="top">...</mirrortxt> places the 'mirror' above the text .bottom <mirrortxt class="bottom">...</mirrortxt> places the 'mirror' on the left of the text .bottom <mirrortxt class="bottom">...</mirrortxt>

Examples

a few examples with code reference go here

reversetxt

reverses text <Reversetxt> reverse this text </Reversetxt> By default will reverse the letters <Reversetxt>hello world</Reversetxt> in browser -> dlrow olleh
