@swim/component
@swim/component provides componentized controller layer with application lifecycle and service management. @swim/component is part of the @swim/ui framework.
Installation
npm
For an npm-managed project, npm install @swim/component to make it a dependency.
TypeScript sources will be installed into node_modules/@swim/component/main.
Transpiled JavaScript and TypeScript definition files install into
node_modules/@swim/component/lib/main. And a pre-built UMD script can
be found in node_modules/@swim/component/dist/main/swim-component.js.
Browser
Browser applications can load swim-ui.js—which bundles the @swim/component
library—along with its swim-core.js and swim-mesh.js dependencies, directly
from the SwimOS CDN.

swim-system.js dependency, from the SwimOS CDN. The swim-toolkit.js
script bundles @swim/component together with all other
@swim/toolkit
frameworks.

ES6/TypeScript
@swim/component can be imported as an ES6 module from TypeScript and other ES6-compatible environments.
import * as component from "@swim/component";CommonJS/Node.js
@swim/component can also be used as a CommonJS module in Node.js applications.
var component = require("@swim/component");Browser
When loaded by a web browser, the swim-ui.js script adds all
@swim/component library exports to the global swim namespace.
The swim-ui.js script requires that swim-core.js and swim-mesh.js
have already been loaded.
The swim-toolkit.js script also adds all @swim/component library
exports to the global swim namespace, making it a drop-in replacement for
swim-ui.js and swim-component.js when additional @swim/toolkit frameworks
are needed.
