Dreamodus a6348d5c46 v1.1.2: action button, responsive faders, label scaling
Third integration-feedback release from building the streaming studio.

- New `Button` — a click-to-fire command button in the panel style, the
  non-latching sibling of PushButton. Implemented as PushButton's new
  `mode="action"` (never latches, press-down + brief LED flash, `onClick`);
  led="dot" (default) matches the corner-dot look, led={false} is plain.
- `fill` on LEDFader (parity with Fader) — faders stretch to fill their
  container in resizable panels instead of a fixed pixel length.
- `labelSize` on IndicatorLamp (and LampRow) — shrink the caption below its
  10px floor to match dense header rows.
- Docs: a dedicated "Buttons & switches" section with a decision guide
  (Button/PushButton/TransportButton/ToggleSwitch/SegmentSwitch) + live demos.

Library + docs typecheck and build; 38 tests pass.

The library in 10 seconds

import { MetalKnob, LEDKnob, Fader, logTaper } from 'dreamknob'

<MetalKnob size={90} min={0} max={100} step={0.5} defaultValue={64} label="Gain" />
<LEDKnob min={20} max={20000} taper={logTaper} defaultValue={632} label="Freq" />
<Fader min={-60} max={12} step={0.5} unit=" dB" defaultValue={-6} label="Out" />
  • Feel: grab-and-rotate rotary tracking (rc-knob style) with pickup/relative modes, or relative vertical / horizontal drag (DAW plugin style), or absolute track dragging for faders. Scroll-wheel nudge, full keyboard support, Shift+scroll for fine control, double-click reset, touch via pointer capture, proper role="slider" accessibility.
  • Numbers: any range (negative, fractional, huge), decimal step with float-drift-safe rounding, discrete values lists, evenly spaced detents (steps), linear / log / power / custom tapers.
  • Styles: FlatKnob, MetalKnob, RubberKnob, VintageKnob, LEDKnob, NeonKnob, SteppedKnob, ImageKnob (film-strips), Fader, LEDFader, Meter, MeterBridge, Gauge, XYPad, PushButton, IndicatorLamp, LampRow, ToggleSwitch, SegmentSwitch, TransportButton, ScrubField, SegmentDisplay, AlphaDisplay, plus LabeledField/Rack layout — every color themeable per instance.
  • Composable: <Knob> + primitives (Arc, Pointer, Ticks, TickLabels, Face, KnobValue, KnobLabel, GlowFilter) for custom designs, or go fully headless with useKnob.

See packages/dreamknob/README.md and the docs app for the full API.

Using it in another app

The easiest way is the published release on our Forgejo:

pnpm add https://git.dreamodus.software/Dreamodus/DreamKnob/releases/download/v1.1.2/dreamknob-1.1.2.tgz

Or build locally — the package builds to packages/dreamknob/dist (ESM + CJS + types):

# 1. Tarball (most robust — behaves exactly like an npm install)
cd packages/dreamknob && pnpm build && pnpm pack
# then in your app:
pnpm add /path/to/dreamknob-1.0.0.tgz

# 2. File dependency (picks up rebuilds on reinstall)
pnpm add file:../dreamknob/packages/dreamknob

# 3. Link for active development against your app
cd packages/dreamknob && pnpm link --global
cd your-app && pnpm link --global dreamknob

Peer deps: react >= 18, react-dom >= 18. No CSS import needed.
