There are three ways to use demobox, for varying simplicity and flexibility.
The demobox cli tool will turn a regular markdown file with annotated code
snippets into a stylish demo page with editable examples. You can look at the
markdown source for this page
here as an
example. Also the source for the demo page
(demo.md)
showcases a number of features.
$ npm install -g demobox
$ demobox -i demo.md -o demo.html
demo.md (||)
---
title: Demobox
fontPair: Open Sans
colors: light-green
links:
Home: index.html
Demos: demos.html
Themes: themes.html
Github: https://github.com/jaredly/demobox

# First example
``ˋjavascript
// @demobox height=150px
var first = 'javascript code'
, second = `You can evaluate ${first} with es6 goodness.`;
// the last line must be an expression that results in a react
// element.
<p>
<span>{second} </span><br/>
<strong>JSX is just fine</strong>
</p>
``ˋ
... etc.
demo.html rendered page (||)
There are a few suffixes you can put onto headings that will give them extra properties.
(<<) marks the section as collapsed(>>) marks the section as collapsible but expanded(||) makes the section part of a column group. Adjascent sections (of the
same heading level) that have this marking will be rendered side-by-side.
An example of this is the demo.md and "demo.html rendered page"
sections above.demobox.js drop-in script<head><!-- if you want codemirror, that needs to be included separately -->
<script src="https://jaredly.github.io/demobox/demobox.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://jaredly.github.io/demobox/demobox.css">
<textarea data-demobox>
// some great code here
var x = <em>element</em>;
<strong>End with a react {x}</strong>
</textarea>
The demobox.js script finds all textareas with the data-demobox
attribute and converts them into demoboxes that look like this:
// @demobox
// some great code here
var x = <em>element</em>;
<strong>End with a react {x}</strong>
Configuration options can be given as data-* attributes on the textarea.
Look at the html source of this page (and the demo page) for example usage.
If you install the demobox library from npm (npm install -S demobox) then
you can use the DemoBox react component in your project.
In this demobox, you can play with the DemoBox component :).
// @demobox
var value = `\
<strong>
It's demoboxes all the way down...
</strong>
`;
// Try changing position to left, right
// or top, and codeMirror to false
<DemoBox
position='bottom'
header={true}
style={{width: 360}}
codeMirror={true}
initialValue={value}/>
