What is @remote-ui/types?
@remote-ui/types is a TypeScript library that provides type definitions and utilities for building remote UI components. It is designed to facilitate the creation of UI components that can be rendered in a different environment from where they are defined, such as in a web worker or an iframe.
What are @remote-ui/types's main functionalities?
Component Type Definitions
Defines a remote UI component type with specific properties. This example shows how to define a Button component with label and onClick properties.
import {RemoteComponentType} from '@remote-ui/types';
interface ButtonProps {
label: string;
onClick: () => void;
}
const Button: RemoteComponentType<'Button', ButtonProps> = {
kind: 'Button',
props: {
label: 'Click me',
onClick: () => alert('Button clicked!'),
},
};
Remote Component Creation
Creates a remote UI component instance. This example demonstrates how to create a Button component instance with specific properties.
import {createRemoteComponent} from '@remote-ui/types';
const Button = createRemoteComponent<'Button', {label: string; onClick: () => void}>('Button');
const buttonInstance = Button({label: 'Click me', onClick: () => alert('Button clicked!')});
Remote Component Rendering
Renders a remote UI component instance to a target environment. This example shows how to render a Button component instance to a DOM element.
import {render} from '@remote-ui/types';
const buttonInstance = Button({label: 'Click me', onClick: () => alert('Button clicked!')});
render(buttonInstance, document.getElementById('app'));
Other packages similar to @remote-ui/types
react
React is a popular JavaScript library for building user interfaces. It allows developers to create reusable UI components that can manage their own state. Unlike @remote-ui/types, React is not specifically designed for remote UI components but can be used in a similar manner with additional libraries.
vue
Vue.js is a progressive JavaScript framework for building user interfaces. It provides a reactive data binding system and a component-based architecture. While Vue.js is not specifically designed for remote UI components, it can be used to achieve similar functionality with the help of additional tools.
lit
Lit is a simple library for building fast, lightweight web components. It provides a declarative way to define custom elements and manage their state. Lit is similar to @remote-ui/types in that it focuses on component-based development, but it is not specifically designed for remote UI components.
