@dinkarjallan/rezilient-ui

A frontend library designed to enhance user experience in offline-first, resilient applications. This package provides tools and components to seamlessly bridge UI interactions with resilient application logic, ensuring a consistent and robust user experience even under challenging network conditions.

What is `rezilient-ui`?

@dinkarjallan/rezilient-ui is part of the Rezilient.js ecosystem, focusing on UI-specific utilities for building offline-ready, network-resilient web applications. It complements @dinkarjallan/rezilient-utils by offering components, decorators, hooks, and HOCs tailored for UI interaction in scenarios where network conditions are unpredictable.

What to Expect from This Package

Decorators to transform UI components into service-worker managed components.
Higher-Order Components (HOCs) to enable fallback behavior for offline scenarios.
Hooks for managing UI state related to network conditions, offline/online mode, and sync processes.
Prebuilt components like network status indicators, retry buttons, and sync progress bars.
Enhanced error boundaries to gracefully handle offline-specific errors.
Tools to simplify creating UI elements that respond dynamically to network changes.

Installation

Install the package using npm or yarn:

npm install @dinkarjallan/rezilient-ui

yarn add @dinkarjallan/rezilient-ui

Features and Examples

1. Decorators for Components

Easily make your components service-worker managed and offline-ready.

import { offlineReady } from '@dinkarjallan/rezilient-ui';

@offlineReady
const DataDisplay = ({ data }) => <div>{data}</div>;

2. Higher-Order Components (HOCs)

Wrap your components to provide fallback behavior during offline mode.

import { withOfflineFallback } from '@dinkarjallan/rezilient-ui';

const OfflineDisplay = withOfflineFallback(MyComponent, <FallbackUI />);

3. Network Status Indicators

Use prebuilt components to display real-time network status.

import { NetworkStatusBadge } from '@dinkarjallan/rezilient-ui';

<NetworkStatusBadge />;

4. Retry Buttons and Prompts

Allow users to retry failed actions through intuitive UI elements.

import { RetryButton } from '@dinkarjallan/rezilient-ui';

<RetryButton onRetry={retrySync} />;

5. Offline Fallback Components

Create components that adapt to offline scenarios seamlessly.

import { OfflineAwareImage } from '@dinkarjallan/rezilient-ui';

<OfflineAwareImage src="/images/profile.jpg" />;

6. Hooks for UI State Management

Leverage hooks to monitor and react to network conditions.

import { useOfflineStatus } from '@dinkarjallan/rezilient-ui';

const isOffline = useOfflineStatus();
if (isOffline) {
  alert('You are offline!');
}

7. Background Sync Indicators

Provide visual feedback during background syncing operations.

import { SyncProgressBar } from '@dinkarjallan/rezilient-ui';

<SyncProgressBar />;

8. Enhanced Error Boundaries

Handle offline-related errors gracefully with enhanced error boundaries.

import { OfflineErrorBoundary } from '@dinkarjallan/rezilient-ui';

<OfflineErrorBoundary fallback={<OfflinePlaceholder />}>
  <MyComponent />
</OfflineErrorBoundary>;
