react-line

Provide a React component to draw a line.

Underneath, it's only using a classic <div> that it rotates and positions where it needs to be.

Why

Sometimes, you want to draw a line in your page (mostly, a line that is linked to 2 items that can move for instance), not using fancy stuff. A <div> is not a fancy stuff but requires some mathematics to handle the position and rotation properly from 2 coordinates.

Install

npm install --save react-line

Props

You need to provide 4 coordinates to draw a line which are the props of the component :

static propTypes = {
  from: React.PropTypes.shape({
    x: React.PropTypes.number.isRequired,
    y: React.PropTypes.number.isRequired,
  }),
  to: React.PropTypes.shape({
    x: React.PropTypes.number.isRequired,
    y: React.PropTypes.number.isRequired,
  }),
  style: React.PropTypes.string
}

style is optional and is the css style you want to apply on the line. The default is 1px solid black.

Usage

<Line
  from={{x: 10, y: 20}}
  to={{x: 10, y: 100}}
  style="5px solid orange"
/>
