Properties
A reading property takes a reading directly, which an attribute cannot: an attribute is a string, and a reading may be an array, a dropout, or a value carrying an age.
| property | type | kind | accepts | staleness |
|---|---|---|---|---|
value | Reading | reading | a single reading | marks it stale |
WHAT A READING PROPERTY ACCEPTS
| set to | what happens |
|---|---|
null | set deliberately to nothing. A dropout, renders a refusal |
number | drawn |
undefined | property never set; falls through to source, then attribute |
{value, age} | drawn, and marked stale when age exceeds max-age |
A reading property never coerces null to 0 and never drops it from an array. Strings are passed through unnormalised, so "01.50" stays "01.50".
READ-ONLY PROPERTIES
digits, step
The names in bold are also attributes. Assigning one as a prop throws, so set them in markup.
Events
None.
Using it
import 'overscan'
import 'overscan/overscan.css'
<div class="strip">
<ov-flap
value="SECTOR 4"
digits="8"
>
</ov-flap>
<ov-flap
value="ARRIVING"
digits="8"
>
</ov-flap>
</div>import { OvFlap } from 'overscan/react'
<OvFlap
digits="8"
value={reading}
/>import { OvFlap } from 'overscan/vue'
<OvFlap
digits="8"
:value="reading"
/>import OvFlap from 'overscan/svelte/OvFlap.svelte'
<OvFlap
digits="8"
value={reading}
/>The CSS is a separate import in every framework. A single element can be imported on its own instead of the whole kit: import 'overscan/src/ov-chart.js'
A reading is set as a PROPERTY, never an attribute. An attribute is a string, so an array cannot survive one and a null arrives as the word "null", which the protocol would read as a value rather than a dropout.
Every ov: event is bound with addEventListener. The colon has no declarative spelling in Svelte 5, where the on: directive is gone and "onov:commit" is not an identifier, nor in JSX. Vue can bind it.
The wrapper applies attributes ITSELF and hands the framework nothing but a ref. All three frameworks set a prop as a property when the name exists on the element, and this kit has 77 getter-only properties across 43 elements. Assigning one throws, and in React it does not degrade: the whole tree fails to render. 13 elements have a getter-only name that is also a real attribute (at, bearing, digits, duration, floor, fov, fresh, hold, lat, lon, period, pitch, range, ring, rings, span, step, sweep, sweeps, traces, value), which are the ones a reader would naturally pass in markup.
