Slackers

Slackers are simple amusing pages to use as placeholders with no effort.

The pages are valid components for preact.

there is also a demo.

What is it good for?

well, you can use them for any purpose really. I use them as placeholders for dark corners of my SPA where in normal case you should never get to but its in-fact possible. For example:

when using react-router or so.. a catch all page ('*') can take not-found.

Or when an evil user navigates manually to authenticated user area only (unauthorized)

Usage

Install using npm

npm i -S slackers

Simple render

import NotFound from 'slackers/not-found';
// or
var NotFound = require('slackers/not-found');

render(h(NotFound), target)

Change text:

render(h(NotFound, {
    text: "This page doesn't exist"
  }), target)

Change icon:

import Base from 'slackers/base'

let backgroundImage = '' // path or base64 content (using webpack require for example)

render(h(Base, {
    backgroundImage,
    text: "My custom text"
}), target)

As standalone script (not recommended)

<script src="https://unpkg.com/slackers/standalone/slackers_not-found.js"></script>
<script>
  var NotFound = window['slackers_not-found'];
</script>

Example

import {render, h} from 'preact';
import NotFound from 'slackers/not-found';
render(h(NotFound), target)

Will render:

Current list of available slackers

not-found
unauthorized
error
maintenance
loader (animated)
loader-gears (animated)
