@curvenote/components

The goal of components is to provide web-components for interactive scientific writing, reactive documents and explorable explanations. This library provides ways to create, update and display variables as dynamic text and modify them with buttons, inputs, sliders, switches, and dropdowns.

The curvenote/components project is heavily inspired by tangle.js, re-imagined to use web-components! This means you can declaratively write your variables and how to display them in html markup. To get an idea of what that looks like, let's take the canonical example of Tangled Cookies - a simple reactive document.

<r-var name="cookies" value="3" format=".4"></r-var>
<r-var name="caloriesPerCookie" value="50"></r-var>
<r-var name="dailyCalories" value="2100"></r-var>

<r-var name="calories" :value="cookies * caloriesPerCookie" format=".0f"></r-var>
<r-var name="dailyPercent" :value="calories / dailyCalories" format=".0%"></r-var>

<p>
  When you eat <r-dynamic bind="cookies" min="2" max="100">cookies</r-dynamic>,
  you consume <r-display bind="calories"></r-display> calories.<br>
  That's <r-display bind="dailyPercent"></r-display> of your recommended daily calories.
</p>

Getting Started

Ink is based on web-components, which creates custom HTML tags so that they can make writing documents easier. To get started, copy the built javascript file to the head of your page:

<script src="https://unpkg.com/@curvenote/components"></script>

You can also download the latest release from GitHub. If you are running this without a web server, ensure the script has charset="utf-8" in the script tag. You can also install from npm:

>> npm install @curvenote/components

You should then be able to extend the package as you see fit:

import components from '@curvenote/components';

Note that the npm module does not setup the @curvenote/runtime store, nor does it register the components. See the curvenote.ts file for what the built package does to setup the store and register the components.
