Interactive HTML preview for Dala UI components.
This module generates static HTML with CSS that mimics Dala's styling, allowing you to preview UI trees in a browser without a simulator.
Features
- Renders all major Dala UI components (column, row, text, button, etc.)
- Interactive simulation (tap, drag, swipe handlers shown visually)
- Event logging panel to see interactions
- Component tree inspector (toggleable with Alpine.js)
- No LiveView dependency - pure static HTML
Usage
# In IEx (dev environment)
Dala.Preview.preview(MyApp.HomeScreen)
Dala.Preview.preview_to_file(MyApp.HomeScreen, "preview.html")
Dala.Preview.preview_and_open(MyApp.HomeScreen)
# With a UI tree directly
ui_tree = %{type: :column, props: %{padding: :md}, children: [...]}
