Installation

npm install @lab49/react-order-book

Usage

import { OrderBook } from '@lab49/react-order-book';

// This is a simple order book structure. There's an array
// of asks, and array of bids. Each entry in the array is
// an array where the first index represents the price,
// and the second index represents the "size", or the total
// number of units of an asset offered at that price.
const book = {
  asks: [
    ['1.01', '2'],
    ['1.02', '3'],
  ],
  bids: [
    ['0.99', '5'],
    ['0.98', '3'],
  ],
};

<OrderBook book={book} />

As discussed above, there are a number of classnames you can use to add your own styles. There is an example of doing exactly that in the included Storybook. There's too many to list out, but by default, all DOM nodes have a classname prefixed with rob_OrderBook. As an example:

<OrderBook book={book} />

// Will render...

<div class="rob_OrderBook">
  <div class="rob_OrderBook__side rob_OrderBook__side--asks">
    // ...more content
  </div>

  <div class="rob_OrderBook__side rob_OrderBook__side--bids">
    // ...more content
  </div>
</div>
