UI kit reference

The kit is called the Composer: app/ui/composer/. It is the only code that styles or builds raw DOM. For when to use which element, read UI design guidelines. This page is the reference.

How elements work

import { composer } from "../../composer/composer.js";

const save = composer.button.md({ label: "Save", tone: "primary", onClick: save });
host.appendChild(save.node);
save.setBusy(true);
// later
save.destroy();

• An element is composer.<group>.<variant>(props). It returns a handle: { node, destroy, ...methods }.
• node is the DOM node to place. destroy() removes listeners and the node. A feature that creates elements after setup returns must destroy them itself.
• Methods differ by element. The common ones are setValue, get, setText, setItems, setDisabled, setBusy, setPressed, open and close. Read the factory in composer/elements/<file>.js for the exact set.
• Content is text. Every string prop goes through asText (internals/text.js) and is shown as text, never parsed. A prop that would take HTML does not exist.
• Containers take handles, not nodes or markup: panel.default({ children: [handleA, handleB] }).
• Unknown elements throw UnknownElement. composer.button.huge(...) fails with the list of known variants. A feature that asks for an element that does not exist therefore hides itself instead of showing something approximate.
• The kit's own CSS classes start with cx-. App frame classes start with fp- (shell/frame.css). Never use either from a feature.

Elements

Variants are listed after the group. Props shown are the ones every use needs; the catalogue (catalogue/elements.html) and catalogue/demos.js show each element with a working set.

Text

Element	Variants	Main props
header	display, xl, lg, md, sm	text
text	lg, md, sm, xs	text. Has setText.
hint	default	text
label	field, section	text, for
code	inline, block	text, label (block)
brand	default	name

Actions

Element	Variants	Main props
button	xl, lg, md, sm, menu	label, onClick, tone (neutral, primary, danger, ghost, render), icon, disabled, busy, type, title, pressed. Methods setBusy, setDisabled, setPressed, setLabel.
iconButton	md, sm, micro	icon, label (required), onClick, tone, disabled, pressed
buttonGroup	md	label, value, items
splitButton	md	label, items, onClick

Inputs and choices

Element	Variants	Main props
input	md, sm	value, placeholder, label, onCommit
search	md	placeholder, label
textarea	md	value, rows, label

field	default, row	A label, a control and a hint.
settingsRow	default	The row the Settings window uses.
collapsible	default
tabs	underline, dock	value, tabs.

Overlays

Element	Variants	Main props

popover	anchored	Positioned by internals/anchor.js, flips at an edge.
menu	dropdown, context	A context menu is anchored to a point, not an element.
tooltip	default
floating	window	A draggable window (the Settings and Sampler windows).
slideOver	md	A panel that slides in from the side.
overlay	blocking	message. Blocks the page while something runs.

All overlays use the portal, the z-ladder and the dismiss stack.

Media and time

Element	Variants	Main props

viewer	media	src, empty
ruler	default	label, total, marks
track	default	label, pxPerSecond, playhead, selection, items
timeline	stage	pxPerSecond, lanes. Methods setLanes, setPlayhead, setZoom.

Internals

Used by elements. A feature does not import them. They exist in composer/internals/:

File	Does
register.js	define, UnknownElement, lookups.
el.js, text.js	Safe DOM building, asText, setText.
ids.js	Unique ids for label and control pairs.
zlayer.js	The z-ladder. The only place a z-index is written.
portal.js	Where overlays are drawn.
dismiss.js	One Escape and outside-click stack.
focus.js	trap and roving.
anchor.js	Pure placement (measure, flip, clamp) plus anchorTo.
drag.js, dragReorder.js, snap.js, swapping.js	Dragging, reordering and snapping.
density.js	Grid columns 0 to 4, saved per id.
motion.js	Reduced motion check and shared timings.

Adding an element

1. Write it in the right file under composer/elements/ (or a new file). Call define(group, variant, factory) once per variant. The factory takes props and returns a handle. Use only el, asText and the internals. Never write innerHTML.
2. Register the file. A new file is imported in elements/index.js and its stylesheet is added to composer.css before polish.css.
3. Style it with tokens only, using cx- class names. Cover both themes and reduced motion.
4. Add a demo to catalogue/demos.js under "<group>.<variant>". A registered element with no demo fails the suite. A demo is a props object, or a function that receives composer when the props need other handles.
5. Teach the content test any new string prop name. composer/tests/rule_content_is_data.test.js attacks every string under the names in CONTENT_KEYS with a markup payload and proves it comes back as text. If your prop name is not in the set (for example caption or empty), add it, or the test fails with a message naming the demo.
6. Test behaviour in composer/tests/elements_behaviour.test.js or a new *.test.js beside it: what the element does when used, not only that it renders.
7. Look at it in catalogue/elements.html in dark and light.

Rule tests that run over the whole kit

Test	Proves
rule_content_is_data.test.js	Every string prop of every demo is shown as text.
rule_unknown_element_hides.test.js	Asking for a missing element throws and hides the feature.
rule_kit_never_interprets.test.js	tools/kit_lint finds no markup parsing or eval in the kit and the shell, and still catches a bad example.
register.test.js	Duplicate definitions are refused.
overlays.test.js, dismiss.test.js, zlayer.test.js, portal.test.js	Layering, Escape and portal behaviour.
panel_schema.test.js	panel.js draws every setting type.

panel.js and the catalogue

composer/panel.js renders a module's SETTINGS as a panel with the allowed ui renderers. The live app does not use it for Settings (it uses features/settings/field.js); the catalogue and the tests do. So a ui value changes what the catalogue shows, not what Settings > Engine draws. See Module reference.

The catalogue

Open /funpack/app/ui/catalogue/ with the devserver running (python tools/devserver.py 8199).

Page	Shows
index.html	Tokens: type, colour, spacing, radius, motion.
elements.html	Every registered element in both themes.
hide.html	What happens when a module is broken or missing.
log.html	The Log view.
