@texttree/projector-mode-rcl NPM

About The Project

The library allows you to view content in an additional window

Purpose

Be able to show content in a separate window

Problem

there are very few programs that can show special content in projector mode. Often they have ready-made modules

Scope

the library helps to transfer content from one browser window to another.
the library should not depend on what content is transferred

Background

It's not easy to find a free app for a small church congregation to easily display Bible verses during a service. Especially if it is a translation into OL.

Built With

Getting Started

Installation

Add the library to your React app

yarn

yarn add @texttree/projector-mode-rcl

npm install @texttree/projector-mode-rcl

Usage

Use the useProjector hook to pass data to the second screen. If you need to somehow manage the value, then use getData only to set the initial value. For example:

import React, { useState } from 'react';
import { useProjector } from '@texttree/projector-mode-rcl';

export default function Settings() {
  const { setData, getData } = useProjector();
  const [verse, setVerse] = useState(() => getData('verse'));
  const [reference, setReference] = useState(() => getData('reference'));
  return (
    <>
      <p>Set verse</p>
      <input
        onChange={(e) => {
          setVerse(e.target.value);
          setData('verse', e.target.value);
        }}
        value={verse}
      />
      <p>Set reference</p>
      <input
        onChange={(e) => {
          setReference(e.target.value);
          setData('reference', e.target.value);
        }}
        value={reference}
      />
    </>
  );
}

Create a component with a layout for the second screen. In the component, use any variables you set via the hook. They will all be available as props.

import React from 'react';

export default function Layout({ verse, reference }) {
  return (
    <>
      <p>{verse}</p>
      <p>
        <small>{reference}</small>
      </p>
    </>
  );
}

Create a separate page and add a Projector component there and pass Layout as a prop

import React from 'react';
import { Projector } from '@texttree/projector-mode-rcl';
import Layout from './Layout';

export default function ProjectorPage() {
  return <Projector Layout={Layout} />;
}
