Get Started

Korok is a library for creating a system displayed by config configurable pages and components. Korok could make the pages and components be configured and arranged with the data which is provided by server or other storage units.

Background story: 配置化页面渲染系统设计和实践 (Chinese)

PS: The name Korok is inspired by the game The Legend of Zelda.

Why using Korok?

Korok is original built for a Businese Analytics project (like Metabase). The pages in this kind of project are always created by some math guys without any JavaScript skills. So we have to make the system easy to read and easy to edit.

So korok is created to make the front-end system like a LEGO project. We can build some common components for other guys to use and build the pages.

// Configure
[
  { "key": "hello-card", "props": { "span": 2, "target": "Foo" } },
  { "key": "hello-card", "props": { "span": 1, "target": "Bar" } }
]
 
// Hello-card
+-------------------+
|                   |
|                   |
|  Hello ${target}  |
|                   |
|                   |
+-------------------+
 
// Render
+---------------------------+-------------------+
|                           |                   |
|                           |                   |
|         Hello Foo!        |    Hello Bar!     |
|                           |                   |
|                           |                   |

Example

Simple React DEMO.

import React from 'react'
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom'
import Korok from 'korok-core'
 
// Register Regular Prop
Korok.registerRegularProp('span', {
  description: 'Card width',
  default: 1
})
 
// Define a card named `hello-card`
class HelloCard extends React.Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props)
    this.korok = new Korok('hello-card').setProps(props)
  }
 
  render() {
    const span = this.korok.getProp('span') || 1
    const target = this.korok.getProp('target')
 
    return (
      <div className="hello-card" style={{ width: span * 150 + 'px' }}>
        Hello {target}!
      </div>
    )
  }
}
 
Korok.register('hello-card', HelloCard)
  .registerProp('target', {
    description: 'Target',
    default: 'World'
  })
 
// Page config loaded from server
const cardsConfig = [
  { "key": "hello-card", "props": { "span": 2, "target": "Foo" } },
  { "key": "hello-card", "props": { "span": 1, "target": "Bar" } }
]
 
// Rendering page
class App extends React.Component {
  render() {
    const cards = cardsConfig.map(({ key, props }, i) => {
      const Comp = Korok.get(key)
 
      if (!Comp) return null
 
      return (
        <Comp {...props} />
      )
    })
 
    return cards
  }
}
 
const rootElement = document.getElementById("root")
render(<App />, rootElement)
