This is a work in progress. Expect frequent breaking changes until the library reaches a stable v1.0.0 version.

Provides a sandbox environment for component development with minor configuration requirements.

Usage

First, create sandbox definitions. Use sandbox hooks to specify controls.

import { useText } from 'react-native-sandbox';

export function ButtonPlayground() {
  const text = useText('Text', 'Button text');

  return <Button text={text} />;
}

Then, render the sandbox from within your app.

import SandboxRoot from 'react-native-sandbox';

const components = [
  {
    name: 'Button',
    components: {
      ButtonPlayground,
    },
  },
];

function App() {
  return <SandboxRoot components={components} />;
}

Controls

Controls are rendered in the order that the hooks are invoked in.

Type	Hook	Description
Boolean	useBoolean	A switch control for boolean props
Color	useColor	A color picker
Divider	useDivider	A divider in the component control panel
Label	useLabel	A label to display in component control panel
Info	useInfo	A info block to display useful information
Number	useNumber	A number input
Object	useObject	A text input control for JSON objects
Select	useSelect	A value selector
Text	useText	A text input

Theming

Themes allow for control over the styling of the sandbox tool. Out of the box there is a default (light) and a dark theme.

import SandboxRoot, { DefaultTheme, DarkTheme } from 'react-native-sandbox';

// ...

const theme = {
  ...DefaultTheme,
  colors: {
    ...DefaultTheme.colors
    background: 'gray',
  }
}

function App() {
  return <SandboxRoot components={components} theme={theme} />;
}

Currently, the only supported editable theme properties are colors.

Property	Description	Default	Dark

background	Default color for background	white	#222
surface	Default background color for surfaces	#eee	#111
