Onus-elements NPM

onus-elements

Separate DOM position from rendering position. Like Portals, but better because you don't have to interact with the DOM, and you can easily replace or append to the previous content.

Installation

yarn add onus-elements

npm i --save onus-elements

Usage

import { GetElement, SetElement, OnusElementsProvider } from 'onus-elements'

<OnusElementsProvider>
  <header>
    <GetElement name='header' />
  </header>
  <footer>
    <SetElement name='header' priority={0}>
      <a href='/'>Home</a>
    </SetElement>
    // These can be rendered anywhere in your application, and it will appear where GetElement lives in the DOM
    <SetElement name='header' priority={1} append>
      <span>
        > <a href='/breadcrumb'>Breadcrumb</a>
      </span>
    </SetElement>
  </footer>
</OnusElementsProvider>
