@swim/view

@swim/view provides a unified HTML, SVG, and Canvas view hierarchy, with integrated controller architecture, animated procedural styling, and constraint-based layouts. @swim/view is part of the @swim/ui framework.

Installation

npm

For an npm-managed project, npm install @swim/view to make it a dependency. TypeScript sources will be installed into node_modules/@swim/view/main. Transpiled JavaScript and TypeScript definition files install into node_modules/@swim/view/lib/main. And a pre-built UMD script can be found in node_modules/@swim/view/dist/main/swim-view.js.

Browser

Browser applications can load swim-ui.js—which bundles the @swim/view 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 swim-toolkit.js script may be loaded, along with its swim-system.js dependency, from the SwimOS CDN. The swim-toolkit.js script bundles @swim/view together with all other @swim/toolkit frameworks.

<!-- Development -->
<script src="https://cdn.swimos.org/js/latest/swim-system.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdn.swimos.org/js/latest/swim-toolkit.js"></script>

<!-- Production -->
<script src="https://cdn.swimos.org/js/latest/swim-system.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdn.swimos.org/js/latest/swim-toolkit.min.js"></script>

Usage

ES6/TypeScript

@swim/view can be imported as an ES6 module from TypeScript and other ES6-compatible environments.

import * as view from "@swim/view";

CommonJS/Node.js

@swim/view can also be used as a CommonJS module in Node.js applications.

var view = require("@swim/view");

Browser

When loaded by a web browser, the swim-ui.js script adds all @swim/view library exports to the global swim namespace. The swim-ui.js script requires that swim-core.js has already been loaded.

The swim-toolkit.js script also adds all @swim/view library exports to the global swim namespace, making it a drop-in replacement for swim-ui.js and swim-view.js when additional @swim/toolkit frameworks are needed.
