Getting Started

Getting Started with Rating Web Component

Smart UI for Web Components is distributed as smart-webcomponents NPM package. You can also get the full download from our website with all demos from the Download page.

Setup the Rating

Smart UI for Web Components is distributed as smart-webcomponents NPM package

  1. Download and install the package.

    npm install smart-webcomponents

  2. Once installed, import the Rating module in your application.

    <script type="module" src="node_modules/smart-webcomponents/source/modules/smart.rating.js"></script>

  3. Adding CSS reference

    The smart.default.css CSS file should be referenced using following code.

    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="node_modules/smart-webcomponents/source/styles/smart.default.css" />

  4. Add the Rating tag to your Web Page

    <smart-rating id="rating"></smart-rating>

  5. Create the Rating Component

    	<script type="module">
		Smart('#rating', class {
			get properties() {
				return { value: 5 }
			}
		});
	</script>

    Another option is to create the Rating is by using the traditional Javascript way:
    	const rating = document.createElement('smart-rating');

	rating.disabled = true;
	document.body.appendChild(rating);

    Smart framework provides a way to dynamically create a web component on demand from a DIV tag which is used as a host. The following imports the web component's module and creates it on demand, when the document is ready. The #rating is the ID of a DIV tag.

    	import "../../source/modules/smart.rating.js";

	document.readyState === 'complete' ? init() : window.onload = init;

	function init() { 
		const rating = new Smart.Rating('#rating', { value: 5 });
	}

  6. Open the page in your web server.

Create, Append, Remove, Get/Set Property, Invoke Method, Bind to Event


Create a new element:
	const rating = document.createElement('smart-rating');

Append it to the DOM: 
	document.body.appendChild(rating);

Remove it from the DOM: 
	rating.parentNode.removeChild(rating);

Set a property: 
	rating.propertyName = propertyValue;

Get a property value: 
	const propertyValue = rating.propertyName;

Invoke a method: 
	rating.methodName(argument1, argument2);

Add Event Listener: 
	const eventHandler = (event) => {
	   // your code here.
	};

	rating.addEventListener(eventName, eventHandler);

Remove Event Listener: 
	rating.removeEventListener(eventName, eventHandler, true);

Using with Typescript

Smart Web Components package includes TypeScript definitions which enables strongly-typed access to the Smart UI Components and their configuration.

Inside the download package, the typescript directory contains .d.ts file for each web component and a smart.elements.d.ts typescript definitions file for all web components. Copy the typescript definitions file to your project and in your TypeScript file add a reference to smart.elements.d.ts

Getting Started with Angular Rating Component

Setup Angular Environment

Angular provides the easiest way to set angular CLI projects using Angular CLI tool.

Install the CLI application globally to your machine. 

npm install -g @angular/cli

Create a new Application

ng new smart-angular-rating

Navigate to the created project folder 

cd smart-angular-rating

Setup the Rating

Smart UI for Angular is distributed as smart-webcomponents-angular NPM package

  1. Download and install the package.
    npm install smart-webcomponents-angular
  2. Adding CSS reference

    The following CSS file is available in ../node_modules/smart-webcomponents-angular/ package folder. This can be referenced in [src/styles.css] using following code. 

    @import 'smart-webcomponents-angular/source/styles/smart.default.css';

    Another way to achieve the same is to edit the angular.json file and in the styles add the style. 

    "styles": [
		"node_modules/smart-webcomponents-angular/source/styles/smart.default.css"
	]
    If you want to use Bootstrap, Fluent or other themes available in the package, you need to add them after 'smart.default.css'.
  3. Example with Angular Standalone Components


    app.component.html

     <smart-rating></smart-rating>

    app.component.ts

     import { Component, ViewChild, OnInit, AfterViewInit } from '@angular/core';


import { CommonModule } from '@angular/common';
import { RouterOutlet } from '@angular/router';
import { RatingModule } from 'smart-webcomponents-angular/rating';

@Component({
    selector: 'app-root',
	standalone: true,
	imports: [CommonModule, RatingModule, RouterOutlet],
    templateUrl: './app.component.html',
	styleUrls: ['./app.component.css']
})

export class AppComponent implements AfterViewInit, OnInit {	
	
 
	ngOnInit(): void {
		// onInit code.
	}

	ngAfterViewInit(): void {
		// afterViewInit code.
		this.init();
    }
		
	init(): void {
		// init code.
	    

	}	
}

  4. Example with Angular NGModule


    app.component.html

     <smart-rating></smart-rating>

    app.component.ts

     import { Component, ViewChild, OnInit, AfterViewInit } from '@angular/core';


@Component({
    selector: 'app-root',
    templateUrl: './app.component.html',
	styleUrls: ['./app.component.css']
})

export class AppComponent implements AfterViewInit, OnInit {	
	
 
	ngOnInit(): void {
		// onInit code.
	}

	ngAfterViewInit(): void {
		// afterViewInit code.
		this.init();
    }
		
	init(): void {
		// init code.
	    

	}	
}

    app.module.ts

     import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';

import { RatingModule } from 'smart-webcomponents-angular/rating';

import { AppComponent } from './app.component';

@NgModule({
    declarations: [ AppComponent ],
    imports: [ BrowserModule, RatingModule ],
    bootstrap: [ AppComponent ]
})

export class AppModule { }


Running the Angular application

After completing the steps required to render a Rating, run the following command to display the output in your web browser

ng serve
and open localhost:4200 in your favorite web browser.

npm run dev
or 
yarn run dev
and open localhost:3000 in your favorite web browser to see the output.

Setup with Vite

Vite (French word for "quick", pronounced /vit/, like "veet") is a build tool that aims to provide a faster and leaner development experience for modern web projects
With NPM: 
npm create vite@latest
With Yarn: 
yarn create vite
Then follow the prompts and choose React as a project.

Navigate to your project's directory. By default it is 'vite-project' and install Smart UI for React

In your Vite project, run one of the following commands to install Smart UI Rating for React

With NPM: 

npm install smart-webcomponents-react
With Yarn: 
yarn add smart-webcomponents-react

Open src/App.tsx App.tsx

import 'smart-webcomponents-react/source/styles/smart.default.css';
import React from "react";
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom/client';
import { Rating } from 'smart-webcomponents-react/rating';

class App extends React.Component {

	init() {
	
	}


	componentDidMount() {

	}

	render() {
		return (
			<div>
			    <Rating ></Rating>
			</div>
		);
	}

Getting Started with Vue Rating Component


Setup Vue with Vite

In this section we will introduce how to scaffold a Vue Single Page Application on your local machine. The created project will be using a build setup based on Vite and allow us to use Vue Single-File Components (SFCs). Run the following command in your command line 
npm create vue@latest
This command will install and execute create-vue, the official Vue project scaffolding tool. You will be presented with prompts for several optional features such as TypeScript and testing support: 
✔ Project name: … 
✔ Add TypeScript? … No / Yes
✔ Add JSX Support? … No / Yes
✔ Add Vue Router for Single Page Application development? … No / Yes
✔ Add Pinia for state management? … No / Yes
✔ Add Vitest for Unit testing? … No / Yes
✔ Add an End-to-End Testing Solution? … No / Cypress / Playwright
✔ Add ESLint for code quality? … No / Yes
✔ Add Prettier for code formatting? … No / Yes

Scaffolding project in ./...
Done.
If you are unsure about an option, simply choose No by hitting enter for now. Once the project is created, follow the instructions to install dependencies and start the dev server: 
cd 
npm install
npm install smart-webcomponents
npm run dev

  • Make Vue ignore custom elements defined outside of Vue (e.g., using the Web Components APIs). Otherwise, it will throw a warning about an Unknown custom element, assuming that you forgot to register a global component or misspelled a component name.

    Open src/main.js in your favorite text editor and change its contents to the following:

    main.js

    import { createApp } from 'vue'
import App from './App.vue'

const app = createApp(App)

app.config.isCustomElement = tag => tag.startsWith('smart-');
app.mount('#app')
  • Open src/App.vue in your favorite text editor and change its contents to the following:

    App.vue 

    <template>
  <div class="vue-root">
    <smart-rating></smart-rating>
  </div>
</template>

<script>
import { onMounted } from "vue";
import "smart-webcomponents/source/styles/smart.default.css";
import "smart-webcomponents/source/modules/smart.rating.js";

export default {
  name: "app",
  setup() {
    onMounted(() => {});
  }
};
</script>

<style>
body {
}
</style>
    We can now use the smart-rating with Vue 3. Data binding and event handlers will just work right out of the box.

Running the Vue application

Start the app with 
npm run serve
and open http://localhost:5173/ in your favorite web browser to see the output below:
When you are ready to ship your app to production, run the following: 
npm run build
This will create a production-ready build of your app in the project's ./dist directory.
