Retoggle

Retoggle is a collection of React hooks which provides UI toggles to manipulate your component state from outside. Like Storybook Knobs. This library is inspired by ideas from Dan Abramov.

  • ? A wide range of toggles
  • ? Frictionless integration
  • ? Themeable components
  • ? Extensible. Write your custom toggles.

? You need React v16.7.0 to use Retoggle since it relies on Hooks. Also Hooks are a new feature proposal that lets you use state and other React features without writing a class. They’re currently in React v16.7.0-alpha and being discussed in an open RFC.

Available knobs

  • ? useLog() - Keeps track of a variable value
  • ? useTextKnob() - Shows a text box
  • 1️⃣ useNumberKnob() - Shows a number box
  • ✅️ useBooleanKnob() - Shows a check box
  • ? useRangeKnob() - Shows a slider
  • ? useRangesKnob() - Shows multiple sliders
  • ? useSelectKnob() - Shows a select box
  • ⚒ useObjectKnob() - Shows an object editor
  • ? useColorKnob() - Shows a color picker
  • ⏰ useTimemachine() - Shows a slider and tracks the state of a given variable and allows to travel back in time

An example

The value of state will be displayed in the inspector component.

import React, { useState } from "react";
import { Inspector, useLog } from "retoggle";

export default function Demo() {
  const [state, setState] = useState({ value: 5 });

  // logs your state to inspector
  useLog("My state", state);

  return (
    <div>
      <Inspector />
    </div>
  );
}
