### Installation

```bash
npm install --save preact-habitat
```

### Core Features

- 2 ways to passing props from DOM.
- Multiple rendering options.
- Light weight ( < 1KB ).
- Compatible with React widgets through preact-compat.
- In use in high traffic web applications.

### Basic Usage Example

```js
import habitat from 'preact-habitat';
import WidgetAwesome from './components/WidgetAwesome';

const { render } = habitat(WidgetAwesome);

/**
** other selecors options:
**
** ".classname" for querying DOM element by its class name
**
** "#div-id" for querying DOM element by its ID value
**
** "[data-attribute-example='widget-here']" for querying DOM element by its data attribute name & val
**
**/

render({
selector: '.some-class', // Searches and mounts in


defaultProps: undefined, // Default props for all widgets
inline: false,
clean: false,
clientSpecified: false
});
```

in `webpack.config.js` or any other build tool bundle output format should be `UMD`:

```js
output: {
libraryTarget: 'umd'
}
```

in the DOM you'd like to mount your widget in:

```html



{
"title": "Widget Title passed as prop",
"theme": "red",
"anotherProp": "Thanks for trying this widget out!"
}


```

Now, build your production ready preact widget and you're all set, TADA! 🎉

## API Docs

### habitat(...)

accepts a single Preact component as its only argument

##### example:
```js
import { h } form 'preact';
import habitat from 'preact-habitat';

const Widget = () =>

Hello, World!

;

const { render } = habitat(Widget); // NOTE: pass Widget and not

render({
...
});
```

### render(options)

render function accepts an options Object which supports the following properties:

#### option.selector

>String: `.myclass`, `#myid`, `[data-selector="my-data-attr"]`

DOM Element selector used to retrieve the DOM elements you want to mount the widget in

#### option.defaultProps

> Object: {} || undefined (default)

Default props to be rendered throughout widgets, you can replace each value [declaring props](#passing-props).

#### option.inline
> Boolean: true || false (default)

Set to true if you want to use the parent DOM node as a host for your widget without specifing any selectors.

example:

```html





```

#### option.clean
> Boolean: true || false (default)

clean will remove all the innerHTML from the HTMl element the widget will mount in.

example:

if we set the widget to be mounted inside the selector ".beautiful-container" with {clean: true} it will remove the Loading div as soon as it renders.

```html


LOADING...

```

#### option.clientSpecified
> Boolean: true || false (default)

This option allows who ever using the script to specifit the selector which they'd like to mount the widget in

```html


LOADING...

```

### Passing Props

There are 2 ways to pass props, either via data-attributes or application/json script tag

#### via props script

Simply add a `` tag with `type="application/json"` or `type="text/props"` and ensure the content is valid JSON. multiple script tags will be merged together and passed down.

```html
<div class="beautiful-container" data-prop-name="preact habitat" data-prop-version="v3.0.0" data-prop-theme-color="green">
<script type="application/json">
{
"name": "preact habitat",
"version":"v3.0.0",
"themeColor": "green"
}

```

#### via data-attribute

the data attribute has to always start with `data-prop-` examples:

`data-prop-name` will be available in your component as `name`

`data-prop-version` will be available in your component as `version`

`data-prop-theme-color` will be available in your component as `themeColor` *NOTE* the lowerCamelCase when there's a -

```html




```
