Getting Started

You could use this components in plain JavaScript code or mixing with any modern framework (with native support for React). To render EditorSchema you have use tableschemaUI.render(tableschemaUI.<Component>, props, element) function.

First add bootstrap styles and scripts:

Installation

NPM

Install the package in your terminal $ npm install --save tableschema-ui

The package could be used as tableschema-ui package from NPM:

const tableschemaUI = require('tableschema-ui')

const props = '<YOUR-PROPS>'
const element = document.getElementById('component')
tableschemaUI.render(tableschemaUI.Component, {...props}, element)

CDN

The package could be used as pluggable script from CDN:

<div id="component"></div>
<script src="//unpkg.com/tableschema-ui/dist/tableschema-ui.min.js"></script>
<script>
  var props = '<YOUR-PROPS>'
  var element = document.getElementById('component')
  tableschemaUI.render(tableschemaUI.Component, {...props}, element)
</script>

Documentation

React

You could use presented components as native React component (import from tableschema-ui/lib to get native React support):

const React = require('react')
const ReactDOM = require('react-dom')
const tableschemaUI = require('tableschema-ui/lib')

const props = '<YOUR-PROPS>'
const element = document.getElementById('component')
ReactDOM.render(<tableschemaUI.Component ...props />, element)

Angular

The package's components could be used as angular component:

const {Component, Input} = require('@angular/core')
const tableschemaUI = require('tableschema-ui')

@Component({
  selector: 'component',
  template: '<div id="component"></div>'
})
class Report {
  @Input() <YOUR_PROPS>: any;
  ngAfterViewInit() {
    const element = document.getElementById('component')
    tableschemaUI.render(tableschemaUI.Component, {...this.props}, element)
  }
}

Vue

The package's components could be used as vue component:

const tableschemaUI = require('tableschema-ui')

const Report = {
  props: [<YOUR_PROPS>],
  template: '<div id="component"></div>',
  mounted() {
    const element = document.getElementById('component')
    tableschemaUI.render(tableschemaUI.Report, {...this.props}, element)
  },
}

Working with Render

To render one of the provided component render function should be used. Let's see on the basic usage example:

// Render
const props = {key: value}
const element = document.getElementById('component')
const component = tableschemaUI.render(tableschemaUI.Component, {...props}, element)

// Dispose
component.dispose()

Working with EditorSchema

This component provides a simple Table Schema editor. Let's see on the basic usage example:

// Render
const props = {
    source: 'http://example.com/data.csv',
    schema: '{"fields": []}',
    onSave: (schema, error) => {
        handleError(error)
        handleSchema(schema)
        component.dispose()
    },
}
const element = document.getElementById('schema-editor')
const component = tableschemaUI.render(tableschemaUI.EditorSchema, {...props}, element)

If data source is provided and data schema is not provided than it will be inferred from the data. The component support various options to provide the source/schema including URL and File object.

Contributing

The project follows the Open Knowledge International coding standards. There are common commands to work with the project:

$ npm run dev
$ npm run build
$ npm run test

Statefull components use redux combined with immer (see src/store.js). Instead of classical initialState/actionCreators/reducers there are:

• initial - initial store state
• handlers - callbacks available in components to dispatch actions
• mutations - immer based state reducers. The same as redux reducers but it allows us to change state in-place preserving immutability on the system level (see redux-box)
• processor - a mutation which is called after every state change
