print-xml v1.0.22

print-xml

A tool used to create DataURI out of React nodes - And even render them to the devtools console!

Using the css background-image attribute, one can render complete svg heirarchies inside css with the use of svg data uri. this library abstracts the annoying process of creating svg data uri, and even lets you do also render html components (using svg foreignObject). Utilizing tools for serverside rendering, this library transforms React nodes into plaintext, and escapes characters that would cause trouble to data uri note: most javascript (if not all) will be ignored when rendering an svg/html node into a background image, and because it is an image elements inside will not be interactable (they are a part of the image roster not real elements!)

installation

npm:

$ npm install print-xml

yarn:

$ yarn add print-xml

usage

custom svg background:

import { svg } from 'print-xml'

const StyledDiv = () => (
  <div
    style={{
      width: '100px',
      height: '100px',
      background: svg({
        width: 50,
        height: 50,
        element: <circle fill="red" cx="50%" cy="50%" r="50%"/>
      })
    }}
  />
)

custom html background:

import { html } from 'print-xml'

const StyledDiv = () => (
  <div
    style={{
      width: '100px',
      height: '100px',
      background: html({
        width: 50,
        height: 50,
        element: (
          <div
            style={{
              borderRadius: '50%',
              width: '100%',
              height: '100%'
            }}
          />
        )
      })
    }}
  />
)

Alternatively using styles:

import { html, svg } from 'print-xml'

const StyledDivSVG = () => (
  <div
    style={{
      width: '100px',
      height: '100px',
      background: html({
        width: 50,
        height: 50,
        style: `
        .abc {
          fill: red;
        }
        `,
        element: <circle cx="50%" cy="50%" r="50%" className="abc"/>
      })
    }}
  />
)

const StyledDivHTML = () => (
  <div
    style={{
      width: '100px',
      height: '100px',
      background: html({
        width: 50,
        height: 50,
        style: `
        .abc {
          background: red;
          border-radius: 50%;
          width: 100%;
          height: 100%;
        }
        `,
        element: <div className="abc"/>
      })
    }}
  />
)

Material UI example:

import React from 'react'

// This has to be imported before other components
import { html } from 'print-xml'

import { Paper, Box, Button } from '@material-ui/core'

import { ServerStyleSheets } from '@material-ui/core/styles';


const sheets = new ServerStyleSheets();

const StyledDivMUI = () => (
  <div
    style={{
      width: '100px',
      height: '100px',
      background: html({
        width: 100,
        height: 100,
        style: () => sheets.toString(),
        element: sheets.collect(
          <Paper>
            <Box p="1rem">
              <Button variant="contained">hello</Button>
            </Box>
          </Paper>
        )
      })
    }}
  />
)

Printing to console

now for the fun part:

import React from 'react'

// This has to be imported before other components
import printXML from 'print-xml'

import { Paper, Box, Button } from '@material-ui/core'

import { ServerStyleSheets } from '@material-ui/core/styles';


const sheets = new ServerStyleSheets();

printXML.html({
  width: 100,
  height: 100,
  style: () => sheets.toString(),
  element: sheets.collect(
    <Paper>
      <Box p="1rem">
        <Button variant="contained">hello</Button>
      </Box>
    </Paper>
  )
})

printXML.svg({
  width: 100,
  height: 100,
  style: `
  @keyframes rotate {
    to { transform: rotate(360deg); }
  }

  .rot {
    fill: red;
    animation: 1s rotate infinite linear;
  }
  `,
  element: <rect width="100%" height="100%" className="rot"/>
})
