Fork of PlanGrid
This is a fork of PlanGrid's react-file-viewer. It appears that PlanGrid have decided to not maintain their version, as there are numerous pull requests and bugs open that have not been addressed. Therefore the only course of action is to fork. I would have preferred to have submitted this back to them. Pretty much this is just an upgrade of their version using all the latest packages. The number of vulnerability warnings the current PlanGrid is generating left no choice but to fork.

Usage
Note this module works best with react 16+. If you are using React < 16 you will likely need to use version 0.5. npm install [email protected]
.
There is one main React component, FileViewer
, that takes the following props:
fileType
string: type of resource to be shown (one of the supported file
formats, eg 'png'
). Passing in an unsupported file type will result in displaying
an unsupported file type
message (or a custom component).
filePath
string: the url of the resource to be shown by the FileViewer.
onError
function [optional]: function that will be called when there is an error in the file
viewer fetching or rendering the requested resource. This is a place where you can
pass a callback for a logging utility.
errorComponent
react element [optional]: A component to render in case of error
instead of the default error component that comes packaged with react-file-viewer.
unsupportedComponent
react element [optional]: A component to render in case
the file format is not supported.
To use a custom error component, you might do the following:
// MyApp.js
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import logger from 'logging-library';
import FileViewer from 'react-file-viewer';
import { CustomErrorComponent } from 'custom-error';
const file = 'http://example.com/image.png'
const type = 'png'
class MyComponent extends Component {
render() {
return (
<FileViewer
fileType={type}
filePath={file}
errorComponent={CustomErrorComponent}
onError={this.onError}/>
);
}
onError(e) {
logger.logError(e, 'error in file-viewer');
}
}
Development
There is a demo app built into this library that can be used for development purposes. It is by default served via webpack-dev-server.
To start demo app
make start
will start the demo app served by webpack-dev-server
Testing
Tests use Jest and Enzyme.
Run tests with:
make test
This starts Jest in watch mode. To run a particular test file, while in watch mode
hit p
and then type the path or name of the file.
Some tests use snapshots. If intended changes to a component cause snapshot tests
to fail, snapshot files need to be updated (stored in __snapshots__
directories).
To do this run:
npm run jest --updateSnapshot
To run the linter
make lint
Extending the file viewer
Adding supported file types is easy (and pull requests are welcome!). Say, for
example, you want to add support for .rtf
files. First, you need to create a
"driver" for that file type. A driver is just a component that is capable of
rendering that file type. (See what exists now in src/components/drivers
.) After
you've created the driver component and added it to src/components/drivers
, you
simply need to import the component into file-vewer.jsx
and add a switch clause
for rtf
to the getDriver
method. Ie:
case 'rtf':
return RtfViewer;
Roadmap
- Remove ignored linting rules and fix them
