@swim/controls

@swim/controls

@swim/controls implements buttons, switches, sliders, and other user interface controls. @swim/controls is part of the @swim/ux framework.

Installation

npm

For an npm-managed project, npm install @swim/controls to make it a dependency. TypeScript sources will be installed into node_modules/@swim/controls/main. Transpiled JavaScript and TypeScript definition files install into node_modules/@swim/controls/lib/main. And a pre-built UMD script can be found in node_modules/@swim/controls/dist/main/swim-controls.js.

Browser

Browser applications can load swim-ux.js—which bundles the @swim/controls library—along with its swim-core.js and swim-ui.js dependencies, directly from the SwimOS CDN.

<script src="https://cdn.swimos.org/js/latest/swim-ui.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdn.swimos.org/js/latest/swim-ux.min.js"></script>

Alternatively, the swim-toolkit.js script may be loaded, along with its swim-system.js dependency, from the SwimOS CDN. The swim-toolkit.js script bundles @swim/controls together with all other @swim/toolkit frameworks.

Usage

ES6/TypeScript

@swim/controls can be imported as an ES6 module from TypeScript and other ES6-compatible environments.

import * as controls from "@swim/controls";

CommonJS/Node.js

@swim/controls can also be used as a CommonJS module in Node.js applications.

var controls = require("@swim/controls");

Browser

When loaded by a web browser, the swim-controls.js script adds all @swim/controls library exports to the global swim namespace. The swim-controls.js script requires that swim-core.js and swim-ui.js have already been loaded.

The swim-toolkit.js script also adds all @swim/controls library exports to the global swim namespace, making it a drop-in replacement for swim-ui.js and swim-controls.js when additional @swim/toolkit frameworks are needed.
