Resource Picker `<smart-resource-picker>`

ResourcePicker selects an instrument or a channel: it lists the resources the application has found, grouped by interface and named by alias, filters them as text is typed, and reads a typed resource string before it is accepted.

Getting Started with React ResourcePicker Component

The Smart.Industrial React components need React 18 or later, because they render through react-dom/client. The steps use Vite with its react-ts template.

The complete demo in React is on the demo page, file by file.

1 Create a Vite + React + TypeScript app

npm create vite@latest my-smart-app -- --template react-ts

```
cd my-smart-app
```
then
```
npm install
```

2 Install Smart.Industrial

npm install smart-industrial

3 Import styles and render the component

The sample replaces the content of src/App.tsx. It imports the stylesheets and the ResourcePicker component, sets the properties the demo sets and handles the refreshRequest event. It compiles under the template's strict TypeScript settings.

import 'smart-industrial/source/styles/smart.default.css';
import 'smart-industrial/source/styles/smart.industrial-elements.css';
import 'smart-industrial/source/styles/smart.industrial.css';
import { ResourcePicker } from 'smart-industrial/react/resourcepicker';

function App() {
  // Raised when the refresh button is pressed.
  const handleRefreshRequest = (event: CustomEvent) => {
    // The component waits. The application carries out the request here.
    console.log('refreshRequest', event.detail);
  };

  return (
    <ResourcePicker
      theme="industrial"
      label="Instrument"
      value="GPIB0::16::INSTR"
      allowCustom
      onRefreshRequest={handleRefreshRequest}
    />
  );
}

export default App;

The template's src/main.tsx renders App and needs no change.

Each component has an entry point of its own, and the sample imports from it. The entry point with all the components, smart-industrial/react, puts every component into the bundle, about 2.5 MB minified. Built with Vite, the Faceplate sample has 390 kB of JavaScript, React included, with smart-industrial/react/faceplate.

4 Run the dev server

npm run dev

Vite prints the URL of the application, usually http://localhost:5173/.

TypeScript Support

The types ship with smart-industrial. A type-only import of the component and its props uses import type, which the template's verbatimModuleSyntax requires:

import type { ResourcePicker, ResourcePickerProps } from 'smart-industrial/react/resourcepicker';

Each on* callback receives a CustomEvent whose detail is typed for that event, so the editor lists its fields. A handler typed (event: CustomEvent) => void, as in the sample, accepts it as well.

The keyboard interaction, roles and announcements of the component are on its accessibility page; they are the same in React.
