Getting started

Contributions of bug fixes and new functionality, documentation, and tests are always appreciated.

In npm-based projects

When including solid-ui in an npm-based project, you can use it with:

  import { ns, rdf,  acl, aclControl, create, dom, icons, log, matrix, media,
  messageArea, infiniteMessageArea, pad, preferences, style, table, tabs, utils, widgets, versionInfo
} from 'solid-ui'

Directly in a webpage

Clone this repo, and in the repo root run:

npm install
npm run build

This will generate a dist/ folder containing, among other artifacts, dist/main.js. Now run npx serve and go to http://localhost:3000/Documentation/ with your browser to see some examples.

While viewing one of those examples, you can open the web console in your browser and for instance try how you can create a button:

const solidLogo = 'https://solidproject.org/assets/img/solid-emblem.svg'
const myButton = UI.widgets.button(document, solidLogo, 'test', () => window.alert('clicked!'))
UI.widgets.clearElement(document.body)
document.body.appendChild(myButton)

Or a chat widget:

const chatChannel = 'https://example-user.inrupt.net/public/example-chat/index.ttl#this'
const chat = UI.infiniteMessageArea(document, store, UI.rdf.namedNode(chatChannel))
document.body.appendChild(chat)
