_**NOTE:** Due to a shortcoming in react-docgen, the methods exposed via `useImperativeHandle()` are not currently getting documented. Here’s the missing documentation that should be in “Props & Methods” above:_ | Method name | Parameters | Description | | ---------------------- | ---------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `focus()` | _(none)_ | Sets focus to the crossword component. | | `reset()` | _(none)_ | Resets the entire crossword; clearing all answers in the grid and also any persisted data. | | `fillAllAnswers()` | _(none)_ | Fills all the answers in the grid and calls the `onLoadedCorrect` callback with _**every**_ answer. | | `isCrosswordCorrect()` | _(none)_ | Returns whether the crossword is entirely correct or not. | ```jsx import Crossword from '@jaredreisinger/react-crossword'; const data = { across: { 1: { clue: 'one plus one', answer: 'TWO', row: 0, col: 0, }, }, down: { 2: { clue: 'three minus two', answer: 'ONE', row: 0, col: 2, }, }, };
; ``` See [Clue input format](#/Configuration%20and%20customization/Clue%20input%20format) for more details. ### Player progress events In addition to providing properties for styling, there are some properties to help your application “understand” the player’s progress: | property | description | | -------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `onCorrect` | callback function that fires when a player answers a clue correctly; called with `(direction, number, answer)` arguments, where `direction` is `'across'` or `'down'`, `number` is the clue number as text (like `'1'`), and `answer` is the answer itself | | `onLoadedCorrect` | callback function that’s called when a crossword is loaded, to batch up correct answers loaded from storage; passed an array of the same values that `onCorrect` would recieve | | `onCrosswordCorrect` | callback function that’s called when the overall crossword is completely correct (or not) | | `onCellChange` | callback function called when a cell changes (e.g. when the user types a letter); passed the row and column and the character typed | | `onCellFocus` | callback function called when a cell focus (e.g. when the user tap cell); passed the row and column and the character typed | | `onClueSelected` | callback function called when a clue is selected; passed the direction and the “number” | ### Imperative methods The following imperative methods can be called on a "ref" handle to the component: | method name | parameters | description | | --------------------------- | ------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `focus()` | _(none)_ | Sets focus to the crossword component. | | `reset()` | _(none)_ | Resets the entire crossword; clearing all answers in the grid and also any persisted data. | | `fillAllAnswers()` | _(none)_ | Fills all the answers in the grid and calls the `onLoadedCorrect` callback with _**every**_ answer. | | `isCrosswordCorrect()` | _(none)_ | Returns whether the crossword is entirely correct or not. | | `setGuess(row, col, guess)` | `(row: number, col: number, guess: string)` | Sets the “guess” value for a specific grid position. | ### Clue direction labels Providing the `acrossLabel` and/or `downLabel` properties will override the default "ACROSS" and "DOWN" used for the clues. ```jsx import Crossword from '@jaredreisinger/react-crossword'; const data = { across: { 1: { clue: 'one plus one', answer: 'TWO', row: 0, col: 0, }, }, down: { 2: { clue: 'three minus two', answer: 'ONE', row: 0, col: 2, }, }, };
; ``` ### Custom storage / multiple crosswords per-page If you have more than one crossword at a given URL, you can use the `storageKey` property to provide a specific key under which to save the player's progress. (Just make sure to _not_ set `useStorage` to `false`!) ### Another example Purely to show the grid rendering... ```jsx import Crossword from '@jaredreisinger/react-crossword'; const clue = ''; const data = { across: { 1: { clue: 'This', answer: 'XXX', row: 0, col: 0 }, 4: { clue: 'is', answer: 'XXX', row: 0, col: 4 }, 7: { clue: 'not', answer: 'XXX', row: 1, col: 0 }, 8: { clue: 'a', answer: 'XXXX', row: 1, col: 4 }, 10: { clue: 'real', answer: 'XX', row: 2, col: 0 }, 11: { clue: 'crossword,', answer: 'XX', row: 2, col: 3 }, 12: { clue: 'it', answer: 'XX', row: 2, col: 6 }, 13: { clue: 'is', answer: 'XXXXXX', row: 3, col: 0 }, 16: { clue: 'only', answer: 'XXXXXX', row: 4, col: 2 }, 19: { clue: 'showing', answer: 'XX', row: 5, col: 0 }, 21: { clue: 'the', answer: 'XX', row: 5, col: 3 }, 22: { clue: 'kind', answer: 'XX', row: 5, col: 6 }, 23: { clue: 'of', answer: 'XXXX', row: 6, col: 0 }, 25: { clue: 'thing', answer: 'XXX', row: 6, col: 5 }, 26: { clue: 'you', answer: 'XXX', row: 7, col: 1 }, 27: { clue: 'can', answer: 'XXX', row: 7, col: 5 }, }, down: { 1: { clue: 'create.', answer: 'XXXX', row: 0, col: 0 }, 2: { clue: 'All', answer: 'XXXX', row: 0, col: 1 }, 3: { clue: 'of', answer: 'XX', row: 0, col: 2 }, 4: { clue: 'the', answer: 'XXXXXX', row: 0, col: 4 }, 5: { clue: 'answers', answer: 'XX', row: 0, col: 5 }, 6: { clue: 'are', answer: 'XXX', row: 0, col: 6 }, 9: { clue: '"X"', answer: 'XX', row: 1, col: 7 }, 11: { clue, answer: 'XXXXXX', row: 2, col: 3 }, 14: { clue, answer: 'XX', row: 3, col: 2 }, 15: { clue, answer: 'XX', row: 3, col: 5 }, 17: { clue, answer: 'XXXX', row: 4, col: 6 }, 18: { clue, answer: 'XXXX', row: 4, col: 7 }, 19: { clue, answer: 'XX', row: 5, col: 0 }, 20: { clue, answer: 'XXX', row: 5, col: 1 }, 24: { clue, answer: 'XX', row: 6, col: 2 }, 25: { clue, answer: 'XX', row: 6, col: 5 }, }, };
