react-tile

Disclaimer: This component is work in progress. Dreamcode can be found in DREAMCODE.md. Unit tests are coming.

Usage

Installation: npm install -S react-tile.

Consume using ES6 modules (and browserify):

const React = require('react')
import {Tile} from 'react-tile'

React.render(
  <Tile background="url(path/to/img.png)" bar="subtext">Main content</Tile>
)

Consume using only browserify (no ES6, no JSX):

var React = require('react')
var Tile = require('react-tile').Tile

API

This module exports three components:

• Tile
• SquareBox
• TextCell

Most likely you only want to use Tile - buy hey, modularity!

Tile

The Tile component is very flexible and allows you to manipulate its rendering using these props:

• width: define the width of the tile
• color: set text color SquareBox's content
• lineHeight: set css lineHeight property for SquareBox
• background: provide the background for SquareBox
• backgroundImage: set backgroundImage css property for SquareBox
• backgroundSize: provide the backgroundSize for SquareBox
• fontSize: set fontSize of SquareBox
• fontFamily: set fontFamily of SquareBox
• bar: provide content for the bottom bar or disable it
• barBackground: provides background styles as a string
• barColor: set text color of TextCell,

width

The width of the Tile component also defines the length of a side of SquareBox. It can be any CSS value as string. Default is "100%".

background

The background prop is a string. It will used as value for the css background property of SquareBox.Default is "black".

bar

The bar prop can be a string (shorthand) or a React component used as content for TextCell.

barBackground

The barBackground prop provides the css background styles for the TextCell.

Examples

This is somewhat pseudo-code, but provided the used React components, exist you should be able to do this.

Using a imaginary TimeRelative component, that formats dates:

  <Tile 
  background="foo/bar/baz.png"
  content="Text inside square" 
  bar=<TimeRelative date={this.props.date}> />

SquareBox

The SquareBox component has the same width and height. It supports these props:

• size: Specifies the size of one side; default is "100%"
• background: value for css background property or React component to be used as background; see above for details
• color, lineHeight, backgroundSize, fontSize, fontFamily, backgroundImage

TextCell

The TextCell component does not wrap text, hides overflowing elements and - if provided a string - will automatically cut off strings that are too long for the width of the tile, using an ellipsis. It supports these props:

• truncating: Truncate long text when if overflows; default is true
