Blazing Fast React UI Primitive

📦 ui-box is a low level CSS-in-JS solution that focuses on being simple, fast and extensible. All CSS properties are set using simple React props, which allows you to easily create reusable components that can be enhanced with additional CSS properties. This is very useful for adding things like margins to components, which would normally require adding non-reusable wrapper elements/classes.

Install

yarn add ui-box
# or
npm install --save ui-box
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Usage

import Box from 'ui-box'

function Button(props) {
  return (
    <Box
      is="button"
      padding="10px"
      background="red"
      {...props}
    />
  )
}

function Example() {
  return <Button disabled margin="10px">Hi</Button>
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

The above example component renders a red, disabled <button> with margins.

2. clay.css

GitHub logo codeAdrian / clay.css

Easily add claymorphic styles to any HTML element with this micro class and SASS mixin.

clay.css

Extensible and configurable micro CSS util class and SASS mixin for adding claymorphism styles to your components.

clay.css - Helps you create inflated fluffy 3D claymorphic HTML shapes | Product Hunt

About

Claymorphism is a fresh new concept. The name was coined by Michał Malewicz and the designers are excited to explore the possibilities of this approach to UI design.

It features inflated fluffy 3D elements which look charming and introduce a much more vibrant look compared to the usual flat designs.

What sets claymorphism apart from neumorphism is that it floats above the background instead of being connected to it, eliminating accessibility issues and design restrictions of the latter.

Installation

4. Monio

The most powerful IO monad implementation in JS, possibly in any language!

Monio

Build Status npm Module Coverage Status

Monio (mō'ne-yo) provides an async-capable IO Monad (including "do" style) for JS, with several helpful companion monads (like Maybe and Either) thrown in.

Monio's IO/IOx is the most powerful IO monad implementation in JS, possibly in any language!

Note: This is obviously a marketing claim, not a provable mathematical/scientific assertion. Nevertheless, it's true!

Just("Welcome, Monads")
.concat(Just(" And Friends"))
.map(v => v.toUpperCase())
.fold(Maybe.from)
.map(v => v + "!")
.fold(
    () => IO.of("--empty--"),
    greetings => IO(() => console.log(greetings))
)
.run();
// WELCOME, MONADS AND FRIENDS!

Wait, What's A "Monad"?

Color Legend Element

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

A Custom Element suitable for use as a legend in data visualizations. Built with Lit/Lit-Element and D3JS.

Features

  • Render legends for continuous, discrete, and categorical data.
  • Uses d3-scale's concept of a domain and a range for mapping values to visual marks.
  • Compatable with color interpolators from d3-scale-chromatic
  • Customizable via its properties / attributes and CSS variables.
  • Framework and bundler not required, just add a <script> tag and use it!
  • Small bundle size (52kb minified and 18kb gzipped)

Installation

NOTE: the <color-legend> assumes D3JS is available as a dependency. At the very least this should include the following modules from the D3JS library: d3-scale, d3-array, d3-format, d3-interpolate, and d3-scale-chromatic (if using one of d3's color scheme interpolators).

Install via npm:

npm install color-legend-element
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

You may then import the <color-legend> in the desired ES Module:

7. npm-run-all

A CLI tool to run multiple npm-scripts in parallel or sequential.

index npm-run-all run-s run-p Node API

npm-run-all

npm version Downloads/month Build Status Build status Coverage Status Dependency Status

A CLI tool to run multiple npm-scripts in parallel or sequential.

⤴️ Motivation

  • Simplify. The official npm run-script command cannot run multiple scripts, so if we want to run multiple scripts, it's redundant a bit. Let's shorten it by glob-like patterns. Before: npm run clean && npm run build:css && npm run build:js && npm run build:html After: npm-run-all clean build:*
  • Cross platform. We sometimes use & to run multiple command in parallel, but cmd.exe (npm run-script uses it by default) does not support the &. Half of Node.js users are using it on Windows, so the use of & might block contributions. npm-run-all --parallel works well on Windows as well.

💿 Installation

$ npm install npm-run-all --save-dev
# or
$ yarn add npm-run-all --dev
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
  • It requires Node@>=4.

📖 Usage

CLI Commands

This npm-run-all package provides 3 CLI commands.
