@swim/ux implements seamlessly animated user interface widgets, including gauges, pie charts, line, area, and bubble charts, and geospatial map overlays. These fully encapsulated widgets can be embedded into any web application framework, or directly into any web page. @swim/ux is a part of the broader @swim/system framework.
The @swim/ux umbrella package depends on, and re-exports, the following component libraries:
- @swim/gauge (npm, doc) – multi-dial, fully animatable, canvas rendered gauge widget.
- @swim/pie (npm, doc) – multi-slice, fully animatable, canvas rendered pie chart widget.
- @swim/chart (npm, doc) – multi-plot, fully animatable, canvas rendered chart widget, suppporting line, area, and bubble graphs, with customizeable axes, and kinematic multitouch scale gestures for panning and zooming with momentum.
- @swim/map (npm, doc) – canvas views for efficiently rendering geospatially located map overlays, including fully animatable views for lines, circles, and polygons.
- @swim/mapbox (npm, doc) – support for overlaying @swim/map views on Mapbox maps.
@swim/ux builds on the @swim/core and @swim/ui frameworks; it has no additional required dependencies.
For an npm-managed project, npm install @swim/ux
to make it a dependency.
TypeScript sources will be installed into node_modules/@swim/ux/main
.
Transpiled JavaScript and TypeScript definition files install into
node_modules/@swim/ux/lib/main
. And a pre-built UMD script, which
bundles all @swim/ux component libraries, can be found in
node_modules/@swim/ux/dist/main/swim-ux.js
.
Browser applications can load swim-ux.js
, along with its swim-core.js
and swim-ui.js
dependencies, from the swimOS CDN.

Alternatively, the standalone swim-system.js
script may be loaded
from the swimOS CDN, which bundles @swim/ux together with all other
@swim/system
frameworks.

@swim/ux can be imported as an ES6 module from TypeScript and other
ES6-compatible environments. All component libraries are re-exported by
the umbrella @swim/ux
module.
import * as swim from "@swim/ux";
@swim/ux can also be used with CommonJS-compatible module systems.
All component libraries are re-exported by the umbrella @swim/ux
module.
var swim = require("@swim/ux");
When loaded by a web browser, the swim-ux.js
script adds all component
library exports to the global swim
namespace. The swim-ux.js
script
requires that swim-core.js
and swim-ui.js
have already been loaded.
The swim-system.js
script also adds all @swim/ux component library
exports to the global swim
namespace, making it a drop-in replacement
for swim-ux.js
when additional @swim/system frameworks are needed.
