What's dat.GUI ?

dat.GUI is a lightweight graphical user interface for changing variables in JavaScript. Written by https://github.com/dataarts/

Getting started

npm install hoc-react-datgui

withDatGui(Component, model)

Generate the dat.GUI following the given model object.

import { withDatGui } from 'hoc-react-datgui'
 
const CompWithDatGui = withDatGui(MyComponent, {
  name: { type: 'string', defaultValue: 'noname' },
  age: { type: 'number', min: 1, max: 99, step: 1 },
  gender: { type: 'enum', values: ['Male', 'Female']}
})
 
<CompWithDatGui name="Benjamin" />

The model is an object descripting the dat.GUI component. All keys must match with the component props (name and type).

property	description
type	string, number, enum, object, array, function, color
defaultValue	default value of the property.
max	only for number
min	only for number
step	only for number.
values	only for enum. Array of values for an enum property.

withDatGuiFromProps(Component)

Generate the dat.GUI according to the input props of the wrapped component. (be careful, it doesn't check component propTypes)

import { withDatGuiFromProps } from 'hoc-react-datgui'
 
const CompWithDatGui = withDatGuiFromProps(MyComponent)
 
<CompWithDatGui name="Benjamin" />
