Weaver Components provides a collection of custom HTML elements that represent a toolkit of dynamically renderred HTML markup, CSS Styles, and effects. This toolkit may be made available to a given project either via a CDN URL, directly attached as a Javascript file and CSS file, or via a project dependency. Such elements may be dropped directly onto a page utilizing Weaver Components and they will be immediately renderred as appropriate.
Weaver Components may be installed by either referencing a CDN or by using NpmJs.
The latest pre-built package may be found in the Weaver Elements NpmJs Repository.
Using the npm command (from NpmJs), install this project as a dependency to an existing project:
npm install @wvr/elements
The files weaver-components.js and styles.css need to be available on some server.
See the Building section below for details on how to build these files.
The CSS file should be added as an HTML <link> element to the HTML <header> element, such as:
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://localhost/styles.css">
</head>
</html>
The Javascript file should be added an HTML <script> element to the HTML <bottom> element at the very end, such as:
<html>
<body>
...
<script src="https://localhost/weaver-components.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
To build this project use the npm command (from NpmJs).
This project can be built to run locally for development purposes be built to get the weaver-components.js and styles.css files needed to run on a CDN.
More detailed documentation about the build process may be found via the referenced links in the Documentation section below.
The weaver-components.js and the styles.css files are needed if intending to utilize this project via a CDN.
These files are built using the build command from within the project root directory:
cd weaver-components
npm run build
Once this has successfully completed the weaver-components.js and styles.css files should be located under the dist/bundle/ sub-directory:
dist/bundle/styles.css
dist/bundle/weaver-components.js
Building this for a NpmJs Package is the same as building this for a CDN.
These files are built using the build command from within the project root directory:
cd weaver-components
npm run build
Once notable difference is that for those who want to develop against changes to this project, the publish:npm-local can be used as well.
This process requires starting a Verdaccio service, of which is provided by the start:npm-local command.
