Version 1.0 is Ready! More Features and Official Docs Coming Soon!

Eazy Peazy Playground Components for React.js (Just Plug and Play)

Recess.js is built on top of React-Live, an awesome project by Formidable for building a Playground Component.

The current 1.0 version of Recess.js is ready for use. For simple usage I have provided basic instructions below until the Docs are completed.

If you want to use a different theme go here to see the other choices:

Available Themes

Install Recess.js with npm or yarn:

npm install recessjs

or

yarn install recessjs

Once installed you simply import Recess.js into your React App.

Here is an Example:

import Recess from 'recessjs';
import './App.css';

// Used below to show an example but not required.
import styled from 'styled-components';

/*
  Recess.js is the only thing you need to install.
  You only need to import 3 things (Recess, Your code & Theme).
  (Or only 2 things since a default theme is in place)
  1.) import Recess from 'recessjs';
  2.) import code from './code.js';
  3.) import theme from 'prism-react-renderer/themes/<theme-name>';
  The themes that you can import and use are located at:
  https://github.com/FormidableLabs/prism-react-renderer/tree/master/src/themes
*/

// A JavaScript file to store the code for Recess.js
import code from './code';

// The chosen theme for Recess.js
// Change "github" to the name of the theme you want.
// Eazy Peazy! Dracula is the default.
import theme from 'prism-react-renderer/themes/github';
import otherTheme from 'prism-react-renderer/themes/dracula';

function App() {
  return (
    <div className="App">
      {/* Works because of default settings */}
      <Recess />
      <p>OR</p>
      {/* Your chosen code to be rendered in Recess.js */}
      <Recess code={code} />
      <p>OR</p>
      {/* Your chosen code and theme */}
      <Recess code={code} theme={theme} />
      <p>OR</p>
      {/* dep is your chosen dependencies like styled-components */}
      {/* Install them within your main app and import. */}
      {/* Then pass them to dep. */}
      {/* To pass multiple dependencies place them in an object. */}
      {/* Like this: dep={{styled, bulma, etc.}}  */}
      <Recess code={code} theme={theme} dep={styled} />
      <p>OR</p>
      {/* filename is set to 'App.js' by default. */}
      {/* The filename is displayed at the top of Recess.js  */}
      {/* onInline is set to true by default. Pass it false if desired. */}
      <Recess
        code={code}
        theme={theme}
        dep={styled}
        filename={"NameOfMyApp.js"}
        onInline={false}
      />
    </div>
  );
}

export default App;

Here is a snapshot of Recess.js without any arguments. Behold in all of it's default goodness:

It is REQUIRED to include the render function at the end of each react app as you can see in the code.js file example below:

const code = `const App = () => {
  return (
    <div>
      <h1>Hello Kaycee!</h1>
    </div>
  );
}

render(<App/>);
`;

export default code;

You could also export an object with multiple code examples for Recess.js like so:

const code = {
  firstExample:
    `const AppOne = () => {
       return (
         <div>
           <h1>Hello Kaycee!</h1>
         </div>
       );
     }

     render(<App/>);`,
  secondExample:
    `const AppTwo = () => {
       return (
         <div>
           <h1>Hello William!</h1>
         </div>
       );
     }

     render(<App/>);`
};

Roadmap:

• Toolbar option (copy-to-clipboard, reset-code, save, etc.)
• The rest is Top Secret =)
