@swim/shape
@swim/shape implements canvas shape views, with animated geometry and style properties. @swim/shape is part of the @swim/ui framework.
Installation
npm
For an npm-managed project, npm install @swim/shape
to make it a dependency.
TypeScript sources will be installed into node_modules/@swim/shape/main
.
Transpiled JavaScript and TypeScript definition files install into
node_modules/@swim/shape/lib/main
. And a pre-built UMD script can
be found in node_modules/@swim/shape/dist/main/swim-shape.js
.
Browser
Browser applications can load swim-ui.js
—which bundles the @swim/shape
library—along with its swim-core.js
dependency, directly from the swimOS CDN.
<!-- Development -->
<script src="https://cdn.swimos.org/js/latest/swim-core.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdn.swimos.org/js/latest/swim-ui.js"></script>
<!-- Production -->
<script src="https://cdn.swimos.org/js/latest/swim-core.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdn.swimos.org/js/latest/swim-ui.min.js"></script>
Alternatively, the standalone swim-system.js
script may be loaded
from the swimOS CDN, which bundles @swim/shape together with all other
@swim/system
libraries.

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