The controls whose chrome was hardcoded dark now adapt to a light base —
previously they rendered as dark chips/holes on light themes. (Flat knobs and
faders already adapted: their face is the `face` token.)
- `ledWell` theme token — the recessed screen behind LED segments (LEDKnob,
LEDFader, Meter) and the default well of SegmentDisplay / AlphaDisplay now
comes from the theme. Dark base keeps #0b0d0e; light base is `transparent`,
so LED controls and readouts render as clean flat rings / bars / digits on
the light panel. faceColor / background props still override.
- `scheme` theme token ('dark' | 'light', set by base) + a shared
panelButtonChrome() helper drive the raised gradient/border/shadow of
PushButton (and Button), TransportButton and SegmentSwitch — light raised
buttons on light themes instead of dark chips; unlit LED pips flip to a
faint dark so they still read.
- Docs: a "Light theme" gallery card showing the panel family under
base="light"; ledWell/scheme documented; install URLs bumped to v1.1.4.
Library + docs typecheck and build; 46 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
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Workspace layout
|
|
|
|
| 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`, `PanKnob`, `ImageKnob` (film-strips), `Fader`, `LEDFader`, `Meter`
|
|
(PPM ballistics · dBFS · loudness), `MeterBridge`, `Gauge`, `XYPad`, `PushButton`,
|
|
`Button`, `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/v1.1.4/dreamknob-1.1.4.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.
