cd marcelle-tutorial

Basics

Marcelle is a client-side JavaScript framework. All Marcelle applications run in the browser without the need for communication with a Web server. In its simplest form, a Marcelle application is a webpage defined by index.html and a script file src/index.ts (or src/index.js if you chose JavaScript as language when generating your app).

Available Scripts

To see the application running, type the command:

npm run dev -- --open

Runs the app in the development mode. Open http://localhost:5173 to view it in the browser.

The page will reload if you make edits.

npm run build

Builds a static copy of your site to the dist/ folder. Your app is ready to be deployed!

Setting up a sketchpad

To create a new sketchPad component, add the following line to the script:

const input = marcelle.sketchPad();

Showing the interface

To create a dashboard, the API provides a dashboard() function:

const myDashboard = marcelle.dashboard({
  title: 'My First Tutorial',
  author: 'Myself',
});

To visualise the created dashboard, we need to start it:

myDashboard.show();

To display a component on the dashboard, we first create a page and specify all the components displayed on this dashboard page with the .sidebar() and .use() functions:

  • sidebar() adds components on the left column of the dashboard.
  • use() function adds components on the main central column.
myDashboard.page('Data Management').sidebar(input);
