• Works with Meteor 1.3

• Dynamic exploration, design and testing - interface for changing React props

• Just copy-paste the new JSON settings into your React component

• Supports HTML and SVG

• In work: having your stylesheet classes at your GUI fingertips

Additional features

1. Meteor 1.3 support (not complete; only base packages are included)
2. addParam({key:value}):
   • add this to your React component if you want to handle the props changes yourself
   • this is called by dat.GUI after a change, if it exists - if not, it will re-render the React component
3. we support '#cccccc' and 'rgb(23,200,450)' colors in the props:
4. SVG suport:
   • SVG React component:

Chromatic.add(ButtonController, {type: 'svg', specs: specs})

• SVG component, lightly wrapped in React (if your SVG has to be rendered inside a "parent" DOM element - usually an <svg> element:

Chromatic.add(ButtonController, {type: 'svg', domid: 'drawing', specs: specs})

Example SVG package : loredanacirstea:svgtest (included), with init code in https://github.com/oro8oro/chromatic/blob/master/client/index.js

Importing Chromatic

Versions 0.0.x of these packages are compatible with Meteor 1.2

const { Chromatic } = Package['mdg:chromatic-api'] || {};

Versions 0.1.x are compatible with Meteor 1.3

import { Chromatic } from 'meteor/mdg:chromatic';

Installing Component Explorer

Configure the URL:

import { ChromaticExplorer } from 'meteor/mdg:chromatic';

if (ChromaticExplorer) {
  ChromaticExplorer.configure({ basePath: '/styleguide' });
}

Write Component Specs

import { Chromatic } from 'meteor/mdg:chromatic';

ComponentName = React.createClass({
  // code
});

if (Chromatic) {
  Chromatic.add(ComponentName, {
    specs: [
      new Chromatic.Spec('specName1', {props:
        {
          // props used by your component
        }
      }),
      new Chromatic.Spec('specName2', {props:
        {
          // props used by your component
        }
      })
    ]
  });
}

import { Chromatic } from 'meteor/mdg:chromatic-api';
