view-binary-element

Native Web Component for previewing a few common types of binary files

This is essentially a refactored version of https://github.com/grtjn/view-file-ng to eliminate AngularJS. Not yet as feature rich though.

Disclaimer: Work in Progress, and not tested in production. Feedback welcome though.

Check https://caniuse.com/ to verify how well Web Components is covered by current browsers. This component uses Custom Elements v1, (optionally) HTML Imports, HTML Templates, Shadow DOM v1 (gracefull decay would be possible).

Installation

CDN and polyfill

Simplest way:

<link rel="import" href="https://cdn.rawgit.com/grtjn/view-binary-element/master/view-binary.html">

Likely together with this polyfill:

<script src="https://cdn.rawgit.com/webcomponents/webcomponentsjs/v1.2.0/webcomponents-hi.js" type="text/javascript" defer></script>

NPM and html-loader

This component is also published on npm:

npm install --save view-binary-element

Potentially combined with something like:

<%= require('html-loader!../node_modules/view-binary-element/view-binary.html') %>

Bower, wiredep, and gulp

This component is also published on bower:

bower install --save view-binary-element

You can combine that with gulp and wiredep with something like:

.pipe(gulpWiredep({
  fileTypes: {
    html: {
      block: /(([ \t]*)<!--\s*bower:*(\S*)\s*-->)(\n|\r|.)*?(<!--\s*endbower\s*-->)/gi,
      detect: {
        js: /<script.*src=['"]([^'"]+)/gi,
        css: /<link.*href=['"]([^'"]+)/gi,
        html: /<link.*href=['"]([^'"]+)/gi
      },
      replace: {
        js: '<script src="{{filePath}}"></script>',
        css: '<link rel="stylesheet" href="{{filePath}}">',
        html: '<link rel="import" href="{{filePath}}">'
      }
    }
  }
}))

Add this to your index.html:

<!-- bower:html -->
<link rel="import" href="/bower_components/view-binary-element/view-binary.html">
<!-- endbower -->

<!-- @exclude -->
<script src="https://cdn.rawgit.com/webcomponents/webcomponentsjs/v1.2.0/webcomponents-hi.js" type="text/javascript" defer></script>
<!-- @endexclude -->

This relies on the html-import polyfill loaded from CDN. If you prefer not to rely on that, or if your tooling builds minified versions of everything, you can include the html similarly to html-loader mentioned above in NPM, and strip off the polyfill using gulp-preprocessor roughly like this:

.pipe(gulpReplace(/<link rel="import" href="([^"]+)">/g, '<!-- @include ../$1 -->'))
.pipe(gulpPreprocess())

Usage

Example:

<view-binary class="audio" src="data/sample-music.mp3" type="audio/mpeg" title="sample-music.mp3">
  <a slot="fallback" href="data/sample-music.mp3" target="_blank" download>Download sample-music.mp3</a>
</view-binary>

Does not emit events.

Plaing HTML and JavaScript

  • Assumes CDN and polyfill installation

  • In your html:

      <style>
      view-binary {
        display: block;
        height: 300px;
      }
      view-binary.audio {
        height: 32px;
      }
      </style>
    
      <view-binary class="audio" src="data/sample-music.mp3" type="audio/mpeg" title="sample-music.mp3">
        <a slot="fallback" href="data/sample-music.mp3" target="_blank" download>Download sample-music.mp3</a>
      </view-binary>
    

Vue.js

  • Import or include the web component in your index.html (see for instance NPM and html-loader installation)

  • Add view-binary to ignoreElements to stop it from squeaking:

      Vue.config.ignoredElements = ["view-binary"];
    
  • Use it in any component:

      <view-binary :src="viewUri" :type="contentType" :title="fileName">
        <a slot="fallback" class="btn btn-default" :href="downloadUri" target="_blank" download>Download {{ fileName }}</a>
      </view-binary>
    

AngularJS

  • Assumes Bower, wiredep, and gulp installation

  • In your html template:

      <view-binary src="{{viewUri}}" type="{{contentType}}" title="{{fileName}}">
        <a slot="fallback" class="btn btn-default" href="{{downloadUri}}" target="_blank" download>Download {{ fileName }}</a>
      </view-binary>
    

Test locally

  • Uncomment the local import line in docs/index.html
  • Run something like python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8888 from project root
  • Open http://localhost:8888/docs/
