Getting started

Contributions of bug fixes and new functionality, documentation, and tests are always appreciated.

Install via npm

npm install solid-ui

   import * as UI from 'solid-ui'

Use directly in a browser

All bundels, DO NOT bundle rdflin and solid-logic. These need to be provided separately.

Files

• For browser UMD, without rdflib, solid-logic: dist/solid-ui.js (global window.UI)
• For browser ESM, without rdflib, solid-logic: dist/solid-ui.esm.js (import as module)
• UMD bundles come in chunked files
• both version also containe minified versions.

UMD bundle (global variable)

<!-- Load dependencies first -->
 <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/rdflib/dist/rdflib.min.js"></script>
<!-- or -->
<!-- script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/rdflib/dist/rdflib.min.js"></script -->
<script src="https://unpkg.com/solid-logic/dist/solid-logic.min.js"></script>
<!-- Load solid-ui UMD bundle -->
<script src="https://unpkg.com/solid-ui/dist/solid-ui.min.js"></script>
<!-- or -->
<!-- script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/solid-ui/dist/solid-ui.min.js"></script -->
<!-- or -->
<!-- script src="dist/solid-ui.js"></script -->
<script>
    // Access via global variable
    const logic = window.SolidLogic;
    const UI = window.UI;
    // Create a button
    const solidLogo = 'https://solidproject.org/assets/img/solid-emblem.svg'
    const myButton = UI.widgets.button(document, solidLogo, 'test', () => window.alert('clicked!'))
    UI.widgets.clearElement(document.body)
    document.body.appendChild(myButton)
</script>

ESM bundle (import as module)

<script type="module">
    import * as $rdf from 'https://esm.sh/rdflib'
    import { store }  from 'https://esm.sh/solid-logic'
    import { widgets } from 'https://esm.sh/solid-ui'

    // Example usage
    // someFunction(...)
</script>

or

ESM bundle with import map (bare specifiers)

<script type="importmap">
{
    "imports": {
        "rdflib": "https://esm.sh/rdflib",
        "solid-logic": "https://esm.sh/solid-logic",
        "solid-ui": "https://esm.sh/solid-ui"
    }
}
</script>
<script type="module">
    import * as $rdf from 'rdflib'
    import { store }  from 'solid-logic'
    import { widgets } from 'solid-ui'

    // Example usage
    // someFunction(...)
</script>

Development new components

When developing a component in solid-ui you can test it in isolation using storybook

npm run build
npm run storybook

If there is no story for the component yet, add a new one to ./src/stories.

When you want to test the component within a solid-pane, you can use the development mode of solid-panes.

Adding Tests

One can run extisting tests with:

npm run test

or with coverage

npm run test-coverage

The following document gives guidance on how to add and perform testing in solid-ui. Testing in solid-ui

Girhub Pages

• The github pages should contain the storybook and further documentation. In order to make sure it is deployed there is a step in the CI (gh-pages). This depends on the previous build step. It MUST contain build-storybook otherwise the storybook is not being published.

Further documentation

• Some code know-how
