TestDrive-JSUI Examples

This directory contains examples demonstrating TestDrive-JSUI as a standalone JavaScript library.


📁 Examples

standalone.html - Proof of Concept

Purpose: Minimal proof that TestDrive-JSUI can work as a pure JavaScript library.

Features:

  • Runs directly in browser (no server needed)
  • Markdown rendering using marked.js
  • Save/load to browser localStorage
  • Download markdown files
  • Zero dependencies on Python/Ruby/Java

How to Use:

# Option 1: Open directly in browser
open examples/standalone.html

# Option 2: From file system (works!)
# Just double-click the file

# Option 3: Serve with any static server
python3 -m http.server 8000
# Then visit: http://localhost:8000/examples/standalone.html

What It Demonstrates:

  • JavaScript can handle all rendering
  • No backend is required for core functionality
  • Language adapters (Python/Ruby/Java) are truly optional

full-editor.html - Complete Library Demo

Purpose: Demonstrates the full TestDriveJSUI library with all features.

Features:

  • Full Library Integration: Uses complete TestDriveJSUI class
  • Section-Based Editing: Click sections to edit them independently
  • Interactive Controls: Floating control panel with document operations
  • Event System: Listen to save, content-changed, and other events
  • Multiple Modes: Switch between edit and view modes
  • Auto-save: Optional automatic saving (currently disabled)
  • Keyboard Shortcuts: Ctrl+S to save, Escape to close editor
  • Status Bar: Real-time document statistics
  • Image Editing: Advanced image editing with drag & drop

How to Use:

# Serve with any static server (required for proper module loading)
python3 -m http.server 8000
# Then visit: http://localhost:8000/examples/full-editor.html

What It Demonstrates:

  • Complete TestDriveJSUI API usage
  • Integration of all components (SectionManager, DOMRenderer, DocumentControls)
  • Event-driven architecture
  • Mode switching (edit/view)
  • Document operations (save, load, download, reset)
  • Real-time status updates

API Example from Demo:

// Initialize editor
const editor = new TestDriveJSUI({
    container: '#editor-container',
    markdown: '# Hello World',
    mode: 'edit',
    theme: 'github',
    autosave: false,
    shortcuts: true
});

// Listen to events
editor.on('save', (data) => {
    console.log('Saved:', data.markdown);
});

// Get/set content
const markdown = editor.getMarkdown();
editor.setMarkdown('# Updated content');

// Get status
const status = editor.getStatus();
console.log('Sections:', status.totalSections);

🎯 Architecture Validation

These examples validate the JavaScript-first architecture:

Implemented Features

  • Markdown parsing (marked.js)
  • HTML rendering
  • UI display and styling
  • Content management
  • Save/load (localStorage)
  • File download
  • Interactive editing UI
  • Section-based editing
  • Control panels (edit, debug, status)
  • Keyboard shortcuts
  • Themes
  • Event system

🚧 Future Enhancements

  • Plugin system
  • Additional themes
  • Collaborative editing
  • Cloud storage adapters
  • Mobile-optimized UI

🔧 What Backend Adapters Provide (Optional)

  • Asset serving at scale
  • Server-side storage
  • User authentication
  • Multi-user collaboration
  • Testing infrastructure

🚀 Getting Started

1. Try the Proof of Concept

# Open standalone.html in any browser
open examples/standalone.html

# Test basic functionality:
# - Markdown rendering
# - Save/load/download buttons

2. Explore the Full Editor

# Serve the examples directory
cd examples
python3 -m http.server 8000

# Open in browser:
# http://localhost:8000/full-editor.html

# Test advanced features:
# - Click sections to edit
# - Use toolbar buttons
# - Try keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+S, Escape)
# - Switch between edit/view modes

3. Integrate Into Your Project

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/marked/marked.min.js"></script>
    <script src="path/to/testdrive-jsui.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
    <div id="editor"></div>
    <script>
        const editor = new TestDriveJSUI({
            container: '#editor',
            markdown: '# Start writing...',
            mode: 'edit'
        });
    </script>
</body>
</html>

📝 Notes

Performance: Loading from CDN (marked.js) means internet connection required. For fully offline use, download marked.js locally.

Browser Support: Works in all modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge). Requires ES6 support.

File Size: The standalone example loads individual JS files. Production version would use bundled testdrive-jsui.min.js (~50KB).
