JavaScript Components

This document details the format for JavaScript components in BookStack.

Defining a Component in JS

class Dropdown {
    setup() {
    }
}

Using a Component in HTML

A component is used like so:

<div component="dropdown"></div>

<!-- or, for multiple -->

<div components="dropdown image-picker"></div>

The names will be parsed and new component instance will be created if a matching name is found in the components/index.js componentMapping.

Element References

Within a component you'll often need to refer to other element instances. This can be done like so:

<div component="dropdown">
    <span refs="dropdown@toggle othercomponent@handle">View more</span>
</div>

You can then access the span element as this.$refs.toggle in your component.

Component Options

<div component="dropdown"
    option:dropdown:delay="500"
    option:dropdown:show>
</div>

Will result with this.$opts being:

{
    "delay": "500",
    "show": ""  
}
