Basic UI
fastn packages that are there for use. Then, we will continue our learning and understand what are Properties and how to use them. Later, we will use container componentsand start creating the layout of our Expander project.Featured Components - How to use?
Featured Components directly and rather focus on building their websites or blog-posts or create exciting UIs.If you check the featured page you will come across some amazing components. We are going to use few of them to show. For our convenience I am going to use these components in a new file demo.ftd and leave index.ftd file as it is, so that we can continue our learning there.
As we did earlier, we will add a new file in our project. I have saved the file as demo.ftd. Now, I will apply some of the featured components.
- Add the package as a dependency in
FASTN.ftd
-- fastn.dependency: <package-name>
- Import the package in your file. Here, I am importing it in
demo.ftd
-- import: <package-name>
In the package-name, anything that is after the / is a default alias. But sometimes, the alias can be a long one, and if you want to use a component of that package, you will have to use the long name. Instead, you can give a new and shorter alias using as command.
doc-site-- import:fifthtry.github.io/doc-site as ds
Using the default alias or a new alias, you can use the components of the packages you have imported. These simple steps need to be done everytime you want to use a new package in your project.
For example:
For doc-site package, we have used following components:
- page
- h1
admonitions package, we have used info component.fastn package in our project.Let’s keep learning
Let’s continue our learning in the index.ftd file and build our project step-by-step.
