Custom Components

⚠️ Alpha Version: OneForAll is currently in alpha. Advanced component patterns are being developed and may change.

Learn how to create powerful, reusable custom components in OneForAll.

🚧 Coming Soon​

This advanced guide is currently under development. We're preparing comprehensive documentation on:

🧩 Component Architecture​

  • Component Lifecycle - Understanding component initialization, rendering, and cleanup
  • Props and State - Managing component data and reactivity
  • Event Handling - Custom event systems and component communication
  • Component Composition - Building complex components from simpler ones

🎨 Advanced Patterns​

  • Higher-Order Components - Component factories and decorators
  • Render Props - Flexible component composition patterns
  • Context Providers - Sharing state across component trees
  • Component Libraries - Building and distributing reusable component packages

🔧 Implementation Techniques​

  • Custom Styling - Advanced Tailwind CSS integration
  • Performance Optimization - Efficient rendering and state updates
  • Testing Components - Unit testing and integration testing strategies
  • TypeScript Integration - Type-safe component development

📦 Real-World Examples​

  • Data Tables - Complex data display components
  • Form Builders - Dynamic form generation
  • Chart Components - Data visualization widgets
  • Layout Systems - Flexible layout and grid components

💡 Quick Example​

Here's a preview of what custom components look like in OneForAll:

from oneforall.components import Container, Text, Button

def Card(title, content, actions=None, className=""):
    """A reusable card component with title, content, and optional actions."""
    card = Container(className=f"bg-white rounded-lg shadow-md p-6 {className}")
    
    # Title
    if title:
        card.add(Text(title, className="text-xl font-bold mb-4"))
    
    # Content
    if content:
        card.add(Text(content, className="text-gray-600 mb-4"))
    
    # Actions
    if actions:
        action_container = Container(className="flex space-x-2")
        for action in actions:
            action_container.add(action)
        card.add(action_container)
    
    return card

# Usage
welcome_card = Card(
    title="Welcome to OneForAll",
    content="Build beautiful desktop apps with Python and Tailwind CSS.",
    actions=[
        Button("Get Started", className="bg-blue-500 text-white px-4 py-2 rounded"),
        Button("Learn More", className="bg-gray-200 text-gray-800 px-4 py-2 rounded")
    ],
    className="max-w-md"
)
