This library can be used to integrate with happo using your own "static" javascript bundle. Here's how to do it --
First, install the happo-static
and happo.io
npm libraries.
npm install --save-dev happo-static happo.io
Then, create or modify .happo.js
and add a generateStaticPackage
. Point it
to the root of a static folder. In our example, we're using ./static
.
// .happo.js
module.exports = {
apiKey: process.env.HAPPO_API_KEY,
apiSecret: process.env.HAPPO_API_SECRET,
generateStaticPackage: () => ({ path: './static' }),
};
The following configuration assumes a pre-built static folder. You can also generate the package on the fly here, something like
// .happo.js
const makeStaticPackage = require('./makeStaticPackage');
module.exports = {
apiKey: process.env.HAPPO_API_KEY,
apiSecret: process.env.HAPPO_API_SECRET,
generateStaticPackage: async () => {
const pathToStaticFolder = await makeStaticPackage();
return { path: pathToStaticFolder };
},
};
The happo-static
library has two methods you should use when creating your
javascript bundle:
Call this method once in your bundle. This will prep the bundle for usage on Happo workers. It doesn't matter when you call init (can be first, last or in between).
Call this method to register your Happo examples. Takes an object with the following structure:
component
- (string) name of the componentvariant
- (string) name of the component variantrender
- (async function) render things into the document here
Here's a full example:
// main.js
const happoStatic = require('happo-static');
happoStatic.init();
happoStatic.registerExample({
component: 'Hello',
variant: 'red',
render: () => {
document.body.innerHTML = '<div style="background-color:red">Hello</div>';
},
});
happoStatic.registerExample({
component: 'Hello',
variant: 'blue',
render: () => {
document.body.innerHTML = '<div style="background-color:blue">Hello</div>';
},
});
Once you have your bundle, you need a minimal html file to serve the bundle to
Happo's workers. Save this file as static/iframe.html
(replace "static" with
the name of your static folder):
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<script src="/bundle.js"></script>
</head>
<body></body>
</html>
/bundle.js
is the path to your javascript bundle. You can assume that the
static folder is the root, so in our case, /bundle.js
would refer to
./static/bundle.js
.
Once you have everything setup, you can invoke the happo run
command via the
command line.
npx happo run
If you serve the static folder (./static
in our case) through an http server,
you can open up iframe.html and test the integration straight in your browser.
You can use http-server for that:
npx http-server ./static
Once the server is up and running, open https://localhost:8080/iframe.html
in
a browser window. Then, in the javascript console of the page (e.g. through
Chrome DevTools), call the following function:
window.happo.nextExample();
This should render the first example. Repeat calling this method until you've rendered all your examples.
