SpacewebProvider

When to use

  • When you're setting up Spaceweb and want to supply custom config for your use case.

Usage

import * as React from 'react';
import SpacewebProvider from '@sprinklrjs/spaceweb/spacewebProvider';
import sprLight from '@sprinklrjs/spaceweb-themes/space/light';
const App = (): React.ReactElement => (
<SpacewebProvider
direction="ltr"
theme={theme}
layersZIndex={500}
locale={{
select: {
noResultsMsg: 'No Results found',
selectAllLabel: 'Select All',
},
}}
>
{/* Wrap your application in here */}
</SpacewebProvider>
);
export default App;

Examples

Overriding Theme

When you wish to change overall theme, use theme override instead of adding overrides to individual components.


Custom ownerDocument

import { useState } from 'react';
import { createPortal } from 'react-dom';
import { Box } from 'spaceweb/box';
import SpacewebProvider from 'spaceweb/spacewebProvider';
import sprLight from '@sprinklrjs/spaceweb-themes/space/light';
const App = props => (
<SpacewebProvider theme={sprLight} ownerDocument={props.ownerDocument}>
<Box className="spr-support-success-text">This iframe is styled</Box>
</SpacewebProvider>
);
const IFrame = () => {
const [contentRef, setContentRef] = useState<HTMLIFrameElement | null>(null);
const mountNode = contentRef?.contentWindow?.document?.body;
return (
<iframe title="frame" frameBorder="1" ref={setContentRef}>
{mountNode && createPortal(<App ownerDocument={contentRef?.contentDocument} />, mountNode)}
</iframe>
);
};
export default IFrame;

When to use ownerDocument:

  • While using Spaceweb in an iframe you'd need to pass the iframe's document as ownerDocument to SpacewebProvider in its setup.
  • You can also single ownerDocument as a common host for multiple SpacewebProvider when their render trees are not overlapping.

Why ownerDocument?

  • This is required specially for style & layer management.
  • Styles from parent are never propagated to iframe & styletron caches its style in document head.
  • All Portals, Modals & Tooltips render in a Layer which is hosted on body of document which shouldn't go outside iframe's tree.

Using ThemeProvider only

  • Wrapping a component with ThemeProvider works if your app does not use theme css variables.
  • Popovers usually mounts in document.body and if your app uses css variables to apply tokens, then Popovers/modals will still use global css variables. e.g.
.PopoverBody {
background-color: var(--spr-ui-01, black);
/* Since, PopoverBody will be rendered in document.body,
--spr-ui-01 will resolve to global theme's ui-01 token */
}
  • To avoid this, you can change mountNode of all layers with LayersManager. Check the example below.
