# Minitel React A (somewhat experimental! also somewhat opiniated) package to render react into a minitel! *Experimental until v4.2.0, thanks for understanding!* ![](assets/Hello%20NPM.png) ## Principle This package interacts with a stream which is supposed to be relayed to the Minitel. The duplex stream could come from, for instance, a serial handler. ## Example ```jsx import { SerialPort } from 'serialport'; import { render, Minitel } from 'minitel-react'; const serialport = new SerialPort({ path: '/dev/ttyUSB0', baudRate: 1200, parity: 'even' }); function App() { return ( Hello world! ); } render(, new Minitel(serialport)); ``` Also: an example with websockets, miedit minitel (You may need to clone [miedit](https://github.com/Zigazou/miedit) into `miedit/` first), inside the dist/examples folder ## Reference ### CharAttributes |Attribute |Type |Default|Description | |------------|---------|-------|-----------------------------------| |fg |`number` |7 |The foreground color to be used | |bg |`number` |0 |The background color to be used | |underline |`boolean`|false |Whether to underline or not | |sizeCode |`number` |0 |The size code to be used | |noBlink |`boolean`|true |Whether to not blink or to blink | |invert |`boolean`|true |Whether to invert or not | |doubleWidth |`boolean`|true |Whether to use double width or not | |doubleHeight|`boolean`|true |Whether to use double height or not| #### On colors |Color code|Color |Brightness| |----------|-------|----------| |0 |Black |0% | |1 |Red |50% | |2 |Green |70% | |3 |Yellow |90% | |4 |Blue |40% | |5 |Magenta|60% | |6 |Cyan |80% | |7 |White |100% | ### MinitelObjectAttributes |Attribute |Type |Description | |-----------------------|----------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |All from CharAttributes|`CharAttributes[k]` |The properties to pass to the underlying characters. doubleWidth, doubleHeight won't apply for fillChars| |fillChar |`string` |The character to fill holes with (can be useful for transparency) | |width |`number` |The desired width of the element | |height |`number` |The desired height of the element | |wrap |`string` |The behaviour of text overflowing | |ref |`RefObject` |The ref which should store the underlying document.

Can be a number or space-{between,around,evenly} (refer to flexbox's justify-center)| |widthAlign |`string` |The way to align along the x axis (start, middle, end or stretch)| |heightAlign |`string` |The way to align along the y axis (start, middle or end) | ### <xjoin> Will horizontally join all children |Attribute |Type |Description | |---------------------|----------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------| |gap |`number` or `string` |The amount of gap to be had.

The character `\x09` will order `zjoin` to show the character underneath. #### Attributes | Attribute | Type | Description | |----------------------|------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | widthAlign | `Align` | The alignment of child elements along the horizontal axis (`start`, `middle`, `end`, or `stretch`). | | heightAlign | `Align` | The alignment of child elements along the vertical axis (`start`, `middle`, `end`, or `stretch`). | | inheritTransparency | `boolean` | Whether child elements should have fillChar set to `\x09` by default |
