React Scenes v2 🌉

React Scenes is a simple way to create/test your react components inside your app.

Live demo at https://react-scenes.doub.co

Why?

We tried lots of tools to simplify our in-house react component creation process, most of the tools either has separate build process or not enough feature set. React Scenes is more simple, easy to use, flexible and does not need a separate build process, it is plug and play.

Installation

npm install react-scenes --save

Customize

Custom Panels

We exposed all props internally so you can access to alter anything you like.

<Scenes
  ...
  panels={[
    {
        _id: "my-apples",
        component: MyApples,
        active: ({ get }) => get("active").panel == "my-panel",
        icon: "🍎",
        actions: [
          {
            _id: "toggle-apple-color",
            icon: ({ get })=> get("config").options.apple == "green" ? "🍏" : "🍎",
            active: ({ get }) => get("config").options.apple == "green",
            onClick: ({ set }) => {
              set("config",{
                options:{
                  ...get("config").options,
                  centered: props.options.apple == "green" ? "red" : "green"
                }
              });
            }
          }
        ]
    }
  ]}
/>

Custom Controllers

Example: myApp/.../myCustomController.js

import React, { Component } from "react";

export default (initialValue, foo, bar) => {
  return {
    type: "customController",
    initialValue,
    process: val => val,
    input: (value, set, title, state, setState) => {
      return (
        <div className="custom-controller">
          <input
            value={value}
            onChange={e => set(e.target.value)}
            onFocus={e => setState({ focused: true })}
            onBlur={e => setState({ focused: false })}
          />
          {focused ? "Focused" : "Not Focused"}
        </div>
      );
    }
  };
};

There is 4 props you can use;

• type string is just and identifier.

• initialValue anything is the initial value of the input.

• process function can be use to alter the input value.

• input function has value, set, title, state, setState to update your data and state of your controller.

Usage

Example: someScene.js

import customController from "../myCustomController";

export default {
  title: "Hello",
  target: Bar,
  controllers: [
    {
      key: "data",
      title: "My Data",
      controller: customController("hello", "foo", "bar")
    }
  ]
};

Custom Devices

to add custom device sizes, inject it to Scenes like below.

<Scenes
  ...
  devices={{
    iphonex: {
      title: "iPhone X",
      width: 375,
      height: 812
    },
    iphoneflex: {
      title: "iPhone Flex",
