React component that loads and views remote text in the browser lazily and efficiently. Logs can be loaded from static text, a URL, or a WebSocket and including ANSI highlighting. Forked from mozilla-frontend-infra/react-lazylog.

You can see a running demonstration at https://melloware.github.io/react-logviewer/ which is built from StoryBook.
Install the plugin with npm or yarn:
$ npm i --save @melloware/react-logviewer
The core component from react-logviewer is LazyLog
. There is also a higher-order component (HOC) for
following logs until scroll. This module can be required via ES imports, CommonJS require, or UMD.
import { LazyLog } from "@melloware/react-logviewer";
// using require
const { LazyLog } = require("@melloware/react-logviewer");
<LazyLog />
After importing a component, it can be rendered with the required url
prop:
import React from "react";
import { render } from "react-dom";
import { LazyLog } from "@melloware/react-logviewer";
render(<LazyLog url="http://example.log" />, document.getElementById("root"));
By default the LazyLog
will expand to fill its container, so ensure this container has valid dimensions and layout.
If you wish to have fixed dimensions, change the height
and width
props.
If you are going to be rendering a complete file, or an endpoint which can be downloaded all at once, use the
<LazyLog />
component as-is for better overall performance at the expense of slightly longer upfront load time.
If you are going to be requesting a streaming or chunked response, use the <LazyLog stream />
component with the
stream
prop of true
for quicker upfront rendering as content can be decoded as it arrives. |
<ScrollFollow />
ScrollFollow
is a higher-order component (HOC) that aims to simplify toggling a LazyLog
's
"follow" functionality based on user scrolling.
The ScrollFollow
component accepts a render prop function which should return a component to render based on the
function's arguments.
[!NOTE]
ScrollFollow must be wrapped in an element that contains a fixed height such as a<div>
import React from "react";
import { render } from "react-dom";
import { LazyLog, ScrollFollow } from "@melloware/react-logviewer";
render(
<div style={{ height: 500, width: 902 }}>
<ScrollFollow
startFollowing={true}
render={({ follow, onScroll }) => (
<LazyLog url="http://example.log" stream follow={follow} onScroll={onScroll} />
)}
/>
</div>,
document.getElementById("root"),
);
All of the components exposed from react-lazylog use CSS modules to contain its styles to each individual component. If you wish to override these styles, there are a few techniques you can use.
style
and containerStyle
For the core container of <LazyLog />
, you can pass a style
object prop to affect many styles.
For affecting the look or behavior of the scrollable region of these components, use the containerStyle
prop with a
styling object.
defaultProps.style
For many react-logviewer components, continually passing varied styling objects is tedious. To make this simpler, you can
override the defaultProps.style
of any desired component to override styles of that component. For example:
import Line from "@melloware/react-logviewer/build/Line";
// Use defaultProps.style to set the style for an internal component
Line.defaultProps.style = {
color: "green",
};
Note: overriding the ANSI colors and styles is currently undocumented, and will probably need some source-diving to figure out. I would gladly accept a pull request that could improve the styling API.
If you are using CSS stylesheets, you can target the main virtual LazyList
component with the react-lazylog
class name. From there you can target the individual div
lines, a
line numbers, or span
line content.
react-lazylog uses a number of sub-components internally to render individual parts of the log-viewing component:
<Line />
A single row of content, containing both the line number and any text content within the line.
<LineNumber />
The line number of a single line. The anchor contained within is interactive, and will highlight the entire line upon selection.
<LineContent />
The container of all the individual pieces of content that is on a single line. May contain one or more LinePart
s
depending on ANSI parsing.
<LinePart />
An individual segment of text within a line. When the text content is ANSI-parsed, each boundary is placed within its
own LinePart
and styled separately (colors, text formatting, etc.) from the rest of the line's content.

.npm run dev
. This will launch a StoryBook instance.
Open a browser to http://localhost:6006 to preview the React components.npm run build
to generate the compiled component for publishing to npm.Adjust the version in the package.json
if necessary, then
npm login
# This will run npm run build automatically
npm publish --access public
Then upload code to github, create tag & release.
