Largly inspired by code IDE editors such as VSCode. Parts of the core resizable panelling is based upon an implementation found in the VSCode sources of a splitview and gridview.
You can install the project from npm. The project comes with TypeScript typings.
npm install --save dockview
You must import or reference the stylesheet at dockview/dist/styles/dockview.css. For example:
@import '~dockview/dist/styles/dockview.css';
You should also attach a dockview theme to an element containing your components. For example:
<body classname="dockview-theme-light">
</body>
dockview has a peer dependency on react >= 16.8.0 and react-dom >= 16.8.0 which is the version that introduced React Hooks.
In theory, yes. The library is written in plain-old JS and the parts written in ReactJS are merely wrappers around the plain-old JS components. Currently everything is published as one package though so maybe that's something to change in the future.
Yes but with some extra work. Dockview is written in plain-old JS so you can either interact directly with the plain-old JS components or create a wrapper using your prefered library/framework. The React wrapper may give some ideas on how this wrapper implementation could be done for other libraries/frameworks. Maybe that's something to change in the future.
The theme can be customized using the below set of CSS properties. You can find the built in themes here which could be used as an example to extend upon or build your own theme.
