React Split Flap Display

A React component that mimics a Split-Flap/Solari display, cos I like Solari boards & wanted to practice creating NPM modules.


Live Demo

Install

``bash
npm install --save react-split-flap-display
`

Usage

`jsx
import React, { Component } from 'react';

import SplitFlapDisplay from 'react-split-flap-display';

class Display extends Component {
render() {
return ;
}
}
`

$3

| Key | Type | Default | Description |

| background | string | '#000000' | Hex or rgb() string for the display's background |
| borderColor | string | '#dddddd' | Hex or rgb() string for the color of the border between characters |
| borderWidth | string | '1px' | Any valid CSS width value for the width of the border between characters |
| characterSet | Array of strings (required) | _null_ | The array of characters for the display to flip through |
| characterWidth | string | '1rem' | Any valid CSS width value for the width of each character. Useful with non-monospaced fonts |
| fontSize | string | '1rem' | Any valid CSS font-size value |

| padDirection | string | 'left' | If minLength > number of characters currently displayed, append blank characters to left or right side |
| step | number | 200 | Sets the speed (ms) of flips |
| textColor | string | '#dddddd' | Hex or rgb() string for color of the display characters |
| value | string (required) | _null_ | The string of characters to display or flip to |
| withSound | boolean or string | _null_ | Optionally load and play a sound with every flip.
Sound duration must be less than or equal to step duration.
true loads an mp3 I recorded of a single Vestaboard bit flipping |

For characterSet, there are three convenience constants that ship with this component from react-split-flap-display/constants (you can see how they might be used in the example):

NUMERIC: [0-9]\
ALPHA: whitespace ' ' + [A-Z]\
PUNCTUATION`: the non-alphanumeric characters found in a Vesta Board
