Advanced tools
A collection of web components to display cistercian numerals.
You can directly load these components in your web page using a smart CDN like jspm, unpkg or Skypack.
⚠️ WARNING: Remember that you need to trust this project AND those smart CDNs before loading some third party code like that.
To load the components from jspm, add this to your <head>:
<script type="module" src="https://unpkg.com/cistercian-numerals"></script>
To load the components from unpkg, add this to your <head>:
<script type="module" src="https://cdn.skypack.dev/cistercian-numerals"></script>
To load the components from skypack, add this to your <head>:
<script type="module" src="https://jspm.dev/cistercian-numerals"></script>
You can also install the components in your project with npm:
npm install cistercian-numerals
Then, you will need to import the components in your source:
import 'cistercian-numerals';
NOTES:
cistercian-numerals to a local file.You can also import the raw source if you just want the <cistercian-number> component or even if you're also using LitElement:
import 'cistercian-numerals/src/cistercian-number.js';
<cistercian-number>This component displays one number with cistercian numerals.
Use the value attribute to specify the number you want to display:
<cistercian-number value="1972"></cistercian-number>
By default, it will display the image as a block.
If you want to display the number inside a paragraph of text, use the inline attribute. It should be sized and aligned correctly with the text:
Some text <cistercian-number value="1972" inline></cistercian-number> around the number.
By default, the line use the same color as the text. You can adjust the colors of the different lines with CSS custom properties:
cistercian-number {
--cistercian-color-0: #00000000; /* Color of the center line (always displayed) */
--cistercian-color-1: #0019a7dd; /* Color of the top line */
--cistercian-color-2: #751056dd; /* Color of the oblique NW-SE line */
--cistercian-color-3: #007229dd; /* Color of the bottom line */
--cistercian-color-4: #db241fdd; /* Color of the oblique NE-SW line */
--cistercian-color-5: #fdcd01dd; /* Color of the right line */
}
You can also adjut the width of the lines.
Use a pixel value between 1px and 3px.
cistercian-number {
--cistercian-width: 2px;
}
By default, the height of a number is 1em.
You can of course adjust this by changing the font-size:
cistercian-number {
font-size: 10em;
}
<cistercian-clock>This component displays a live clock using cistercian numerals.
If you just want to display the current time (hours, minutes, seconds):
<cistercian-clock></cistercian-clock>
If you just want to display the current time but without seconds (hours, minutes):
<cistercian-clock no-seconds></cistercian-clock>
If you just want to display the current date and time (year, month, day, hours, minutes, seconds):
<cistercian-clock date></cistercian-clock>
Back in January 2021, I saw a tweet talking about cistercian numerals. I was very intrigued.
A week later, I saw someone who made a React component for it: https://twitter.com/aqandrew/status/1349762018639638528
I thought it would be a fun side projet to create a web component for this and then reuse the single number component to create a clock. I took this opportunity to try Twitch and wrote the code for the first version live with some help from the chat. At the end of the stream, the component was mostly working but no animation and the design was a bit clunky. I improved it over the next few weeks.
Since then, I saw a few fun projects with cistercian numerals:
