### Installation
```bash
npm install --save preact-habitat
```
### Core Features
- 2 ways to passing props from DOM.
- Multiple rendering options.
- Light weight ( < 1KB ).
- Compatible with React widgets through preact-compat.
- In use in high traffic web applications.
### Basic Usage Example
```js
import habitat from 'preact-habitat';
import WidgetAwesome from './components/WidgetAwesome';
const { render } = habitat(WidgetAwesome);
/**
** other selecors options:
**
** ".classname" for querying DOM element by its class name
**
** "#div-id" for querying DOM element by its ID value
**
** "[data-attribute-example='widget-here']" for querying DOM element by its data attribute name & val
**
**/
render({
selector: '.some-class', // Searches and mounts in
defaultProps: undefined, // Default props for all widgets
inline: false,
clean: false,
clientSpecified: false
});
```
in `webpack.config.js` or any other build tool bundle output format should be `UMD`:
```js
output: {
libraryTarget: 'umd'
}
```
in the DOM you'd like to mount your widget in:
```html
```
Now, build your production ready preact widget and you're all set, TADA! 🎉
## API Docs
### habitat(...)
accepts a single Preact component as its only argument
##### example:
```js
import { h } form 'preact';
import habitat from 'preact-habitat';
const Widget = () => Hello, World!
;
const { render } = habitat(Widget); // NOTE: pass Widget and not
render({
...
});
```
### render(options)
render function accepts an options Object which supports the following properties:
#### option.selector
>String: `.myclass`, `#myid`, `[data-selector="my-data-attr"]`
DOM Element selector used to retrieve the DOM elements you want to mount the widget in
#### option.defaultProps
> Object: {} || undefined (default)
Default props to be rendered throughout widgets, you can replace each value [declaring props](#passing-props).
#### option.inline
> Boolean: true || false (default)
Set to true if you want to use the parent DOM node as a host for your widget without specifing any selectors.
example:
```html
```
#### option.clean
> Boolean: true || false (default)
clean will remove all the innerHTML from the HTMl element the widget will mount in.
example:
if we set the widget to be mounted inside the selector ".beautiful-container" with {clean: true} it will remove the Loading div as soon as it renders.
```html
```
#### option.clientSpecified
> Boolean: true || false (default)
This option allows who ever using the script to specifit the selector which they'd like to mount the widget in
```html
```
### Passing Props
There are 2 ways to pass props, either via data-attributes or application/json script tag
#### via props script
Simply add a `
```
#### via data-attribute
the data attribute has to always start with `data-prop-` examples:
`data-prop-name` will be available in your component as `name`
`data-prop-version` will be available in your component as `version`
`data-prop-theme-color` will be available in your component as `themeColor` *NOTE* the lowerCamelCase when there's a -
```html
```
