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.

# dreamknob
|
|
|
|
A feature-full, studio-grade **React + TypeScript knob & fader library** with a headless
|
|
interaction core — plus a showcase/documentation site.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
pnpm install # install everything
|
|
pnpm dev # run the showcase at http://localhost:5173
|
|
pnpm test # library unit tests
|
|
pnpm build # build library + docs
|
|
```
|
|
|

|
| Path | What it is |
|
|
| --- | --- |
|
|
| `packages/dreamknob` | The library. Zero runtime dependencies, ESM + CJS + `.d.ts`. |
|
|
| `apps/docs` | Vite showcase: gallery, live playground with code generation, API docs. |
|
|
|
|
## The library in 10 seconds
|
|
|
|
```tsx
|
|
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:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
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):
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# 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.
