react-typescript-flight-indicators

A React + Typescript porting of react-flight-indicators (https://github.com/skyhop/react-flight-indicators)

The react-typescript-flight-indicators package allows you to display high quality flight indicators using html, css3, React, TypeScript and SVG images. The methods make customization and real-time implementation really easy. Further, since all the images are vector svg, you can resize the indicators to your application without any quality loss!

Currently supported indicators are :

Attitude (artificial horizon)
Heading
Vertical speed
Air speed
Altimeter
variometer

react-typescript-flight-indicators is a porting from skyhop/react-flight-indicators, and refactored for use with React and TypeScript.

Install

Using YARN:

yarn add react-typescript-flight-indicators

Alternatively, with NPM:

npm install --save react-typescript-flight-indicators

Usage

import React, { Component } from "react";

import {
    Airspeed,
    Altimeter,
    AttitudeIndicator,
    HeadingIndicator,
    TurnCoordinator,
    Variometer,
} from "react-typescript-flight-indicators";

const Example = () => {
    return (
        <>
            <HeadingIndicator heading={Math.random() * 360} showBox={false} />
            <hr />
            <Airspeed speed={Math.random() * 160} showBox={false} />
            <hr />
            <Altimeter altitude={Math.random() * 28000} showBox={false} />
            <hr />
            <AttitudeIndicator
                roll={(Math.random() - 0.5) * 120}
                pitch={(Math.random() - 0.5) * 40}
                showBox={false}
            />
            <hr />
            <TurnCoordinator
                turn={(Math.random() - 0.5) * 120}
                showBox={false}
            />
            <hr />
            <Variometer vario={(Math.random() - 0.5) * 4000} showBox={false} />
        </>
    );
};

Build

Using YARN:

yarn install
yarn build

or:

npm install
npm run build

Note: to publish on NPM:

npm publish

TODOs

Here's a list of missing features:

General: set custom scales (min/max values, ticks, limits of yellow/green arcs, ...)
TurnCoordinator: currently, the slip-skid indicator ball is fixed; a property should be added to edit its position.

Example & Demo

The JQuery demo can be found here : http://sebmatton.github.io/flightindicators/

Here are a few examples of currently implemented indicators :

The image below shows a part of an 800px indicator. Vector images allows you to keep high quality render with large indicators.

Authors and License

Originally this project has been based on work by igneosaur, which could be found on Bitbucket.

Further work is done by Sébastien Matton (seb_matton@hotmail.com), who developed the jQuery plugin as part of his master's for showing realtime flight information from a quadcopter.

Corstian Boerman has adapted the project by Sébastien for use with React.
