Minitel React

A (somewhat experimental! also somewhat opiniated) package to render react into a minitel!

Experimental until v4.2.0, thanks for understanding!

Principle

This package interacts with a stream which is supposed to be relayed to the Minitel. The duplex stream could come from, for instance, a serial handler.

Example

import { SerialPort } from 'serialport';
import { render, Minitel } from 'minitel-react';

const serialport = new SerialPort({ path: '/dev/ttyUSB0', baudRate: 1200, parity: 'even' });

function App() {
    return (
        <yjoin widthAlign="middle" heightAlign="middle">
            <para invert>
                Hello world!
            </para>
        </yjoin>
    );
}

render(<App/>, new Minitel(serialport));

Also: an example with websockets, miedit minitel (You may need to clone miedit into miedit/ first), inside the dist/examples folder

fillChar string The character to fill holes with (can be useful for transparency)
width number The desired width of the element
height number The desired height of the element
wrap string The behaviour of text overflowing
ref RefObject The ref which should store the underlying document. The relevant classes are in minitel-standalone (docs to be written)
textAlign string The way text should be aligned (start, middle, or end)
flexGrow boolean or number The flexGrow factor to be applied (refer to CSS flex-grow). true is interpreted as 1
visible boolean If false, the element will only be displayed as a grid of its fillChars

<xjoin>

Will horizontally join all children

Attribute Type Description

type string The type of input (for now, text or password)

overflowX string Horizontal overflow behavior: refer to description under the table
