Custom Item Types
Creating Custom Items
// Define custom item typeinterface CustomItemDetails {customProperty: string;customValue: number;// ... other custom properties}// Register custom item typetimeline.registerItemType("custom", {// Default propertiesdefaults: {name: "Custom Item",duration: 5000,details: {customProperty: "default",customValue: 0}},// Validation functionvalidate: (details: CustomItemDetails) => {if (!details.customProperty) {throw new Error("Custom property is required");}return true;},// Rendering functionrender: (item: ITrackItem, canvas: HTMLCanvasElement, time: number) => {const ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");const { customProperty, customValue } = item.details as CustomItemDetails;// Custom rendering logicctx.fillStyle = `hsl(${customValue}, 50%, 50%)`;ctx.fillRect(item.x, item.y, item.width, item.height);ctx.fillStyle = "#ffffff";ctx.font = "16px Arial";ctx.fillText(customProperty, item.x + 10, item.y + 20);},// Properties panel configurationproperties: [{name: "customProperty",type: "text",label: "Custom Property",defaultValue: "default"},{name: "customValue",type: "number",label: "Custom Value",min: 0,max: 360,defaultValue: 0}]});// Use custom item typedispatch("add:custom", {payload: {name: "My Custom Item",details: {customProperty: "Hello World",customValue: 180}}});
Custom Item Interactions
// Register custom interaction handlertimeline.registerInteractionHandler("custom", {onMouseDown: (item: ITrackItem, event: MouseEvent) => {console.log("Custom item clicked:", item.id);// Custom interaction logic},onMouseMove: (item: ITrackItem, event: MouseEvent) => {// Custom mouse move logic},onMouseUp: (item: ITrackItem, event: MouseEvent) => {// Custom mouse up logic},onKeyDown: (item: ITrackItem, event: KeyboardEvent) => {// Custom keyboard interaction}});
Custom Animations
Creating Custom Animation Types
// Define custom animationinterface CustomAnimation extends IAnimation {customProperty: string;customEasing: (t: number) => number;}// Register custom animation typetimeline.registerAnimationType("custom", {// Animation functionanimate: (animation: CustomAnimation, progress: number) => {const { startValue, endValue, customEasing } = animation;const easedProgress = customEasing(progress);// Custom animation logicreturn startValue + (endValue - startValue) * easedProgress;},// Validationvalidate: (animation: CustomAnimation) => {if (!animation.customProperty) {throw new Error("Custom property is required");}return true;},// Default propertiesdefaults: {duration: 1000,easing: "easeInOut",customProperty: "default"}});// Use custom animationdispatch("add:animation", {payload: {itemId: "item-id",animation: {type: "custom",property: "customValue",startValue: 0,endValue: 100,customProperty: "special",customEasing: (t) => t * t * (3 - 2 * t)}}});
Custom Easing Functions
// Register custom easing functiontimeline.registerEasing("customBounce", (t: number) => {if (t < 1 / 2.75) {return 7.5625 * t * t;} else if (t < 2 / 2.75) {return 7.5625 * (t -= 1.5 / 2.75) * t + 0.75;} else if (t < 2.5 / 2.75) {return 7.5625 * (t -= 2.25 / 2.75) * t + 0.9375;} else {return 7.5625 * (t -= 2.625 / 2.75) * t + 0.984375;}});// Use custom easingdispatch("add:animation", {payload: {itemId: "item-id",animation: {type: "position",property: "y",startValue: 0,endValue: 200,easing: "customBounce"}}});
Custom Transitions
Creating Custom Transitions
// Register custom transitiontimeline.registerTransition("custom", {// Transition rendering functionrender: (fromItem: ITrackItem, toItem: ITrackItem, progress: number, canvas: HTMLCanvasElement) => {const ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");// Custom transition logicconst wave = Math.sin(progress * Math.PI * 4) * 20;// Render from item with fade outctx.globalAlpha = 1 - progress;renderItem(fromItem, ctx);// Render to item with wave effectctx.globalAlpha = progress;ctx.save();ctx.translate(wave, 0);renderItem(toItem, ctx);ctx.restore();},// Default propertiesdefaults: {duration: 1500,easing: "easeInOut"},// Validationvalidate: (transition: ITransition) => {// Custom validation logicreturn true;}});// Use custom transitiondispatch("add:transition", {payload: {type: "custom",fromItemId: "item-1",toItemId: "item-2",duration: 2000}});
Custom UI Components
Creating Custom Controls
// Custom control componentfunction CustomControl({ item, onUpdate }) {const [value, setValue] = useState(item.details.customValue);const handleChange = (newValue) => {setValue(newValue);onUpdate({...item.details,customValue: newValue});};return (<div className="custom-control"><label>Custom Value:</label><inputtype="range"min="0"max="100"value={value}onChange={(e) => handleChange(parseInt(e.target.value))}/><span>{value}</span></div>);}// Register custom controltimeline.registerControl("custom", CustomControl);
Custom Timeline Controls
// Custom timeline controlfunction CustomTimelineControl({ timeline }) {const [isPlaying, setIsPlaying] = useState(false);const handlePlayPause = () => {if (isPlaying) {timeline.pause();} else {timeline.play();}setIsPlaying(!isPlaying);};return (<div className="custom-timeline-controls"><button onClick={handlePlayPause}>{isPlaying ? "Pause" : "Play"}</button><button onClick={() => timeline.stop()}>Stop</button></div>);}
Custom Rendering
Custom Canvas Renderer
// Custom canvas rendererclass CustomRenderer {constructor(canvas: HTMLCanvasElement) {this.canvas = canvas;this.ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");}// Custom rendering methodrenderItem(item: ITrackItem, time: number) {const { x, y, width, height } = item;// Custom rendering logicthis.ctx.save();// Apply custom effectsthis.applyCustomEffects(item, time);// Render itemthis.renderItemContent(item);this.ctx.restore();}applyCustomEffects(item: ITrackItem, time: number) {// Custom visual effectsconst glow = Math.sin(time * 0.001) * 0.5 + 0.5;this.ctx.shadowColor = `rgba(255, 255, 255, ${glow})`;this.ctx.shadowBlur = 20;}renderItemContent(item: ITrackItem) {// Render item content based on typeswitch (item.type) {case "text":this.renderText(item);break;case "image":this.renderImage(item);break;case "custom":this.renderCustom(item);break;}}}// Use custom renderertimeline.setCustomRenderer(new CustomRenderer(canvas));
Custom Effects
// Register custom effecttimeline.registerEffect("glow", {apply: (ctx: CanvasRenderingContext2D, item: ITrackItem, time: number) => {const glow = Math.sin(time * 0.001) * 0.5 + 0.5;ctx.shadowColor = `rgba(255, 255, 255, ${glow})`;ctx.shadowBlur = 20;}});// Apply custom effect to itemdispatch("add:effect", {payload: {itemId: "item-id",effect: "glow"}});
Custom Event Handlers
Custom Event Processing
// Register custom event handlerregisterHandler("custom:event", (event) => {// Custom event processing logicconsole.log("Custom event received:", event);// Process custom eventconst { customData } = event.payload;// Update state based on custom eventstateManager.updateState({customProperty: customData.value});});// Dispatch custom eventdispatch("custom:event", {payload: {customData: {value: "custom value",timestamp: Date.now()}}});
Custom Event Middleware
// Custom middlewareuseMiddleware((event, next) => {// Pre-processingconsole.log("Processing event:", event.type);// Add custom metadataevent.metadata = {...event.metadata,processedAt: Date.now(),customFlag: true};// Continue processingconst result = next(event);// Post-processingconsole.log("Event processed:", event.type);return result;});
Custom Validation
Custom Validation Rules
// Register custom validatortimeline.registerValidator("custom", {validateItem: (item: ITrackItem) => {// Custom item validationif (item.details.customProperty === "invalid") {return {valid: false,errors: ["Custom property cannot be 'invalid'"]};}return { valid: true };},validateTimeline: (timeline: ITimeline) => {// Custom timeline validationconst errors = [];if (timeline.duration > 60000) {errors.push("Timeline duration cannot exceed 60 seconds");}return {valid: errors.length === 0,errors};}});// Use custom validationconst validation = timeline.validate();if (!validation.valid) {console.error("Validation errors:", validation.errors);}
Custom Export Formats
Custom Export Handlers
// Register custom export formattimeline.registerExportFormat("custom", {export: async (state: State, options: any) => {// Custom export logicconst customData = {version: "1.0",timestamp: Date.now(),items: state.trackItemIds.map(id => state.trackItemsMap[id]),metadata: {customProperty: options.customProperty}};// Convert to custom formatconst blob = new Blob([JSON.stringify(customData)], {type: "application/json"});return blob;},import: async (data: any) => {// Custom import logicconst customData = JSON.parse(data);// Convert to state formatconst state: State = {// ... convert custom data to state};return state;}});// Use custom export formatconst exportedData = await timeline.export("custom", {customProperty: "custom value"});
Custom Plugins
Creating Plugins
// Custom pluginclass CustomPlugin {constructor(timeline: Timeline, options: any) {this.timeline = timeline;this.options = options;this.init();}init() {// Initialize pluginthis.registerCustomFeatures();this.setupEventListeners();}registerCustomFeatures() {// Register custom featuresthis.timeline.registerItemType("plugin-item", {// ... custom item type});this.timeline.registerAnimationType("plugin-animation", {// ... custom animation type});}setupEventListeners() {// Setup custom event listenerssubscribe("plugin:event", (event) => {this.handlePluginEvent(event);});}handlePluginEvent(event: any) {// Handle plugin-specific eventsconsole.log("Plugin event:", event);}destroy() {// Cleanup plugin// Remove event listeners, etc.}}// Use custom pluginconst plugin = new CustomPlugin(timeline, {customOption: "value"});
Custom Themes
Creating Custom Themes
// Custom themeconst customTheme = {name: "Custom Theme",colors: {primary: "#007acc",secondary: "#ff6b6b",background: "#1a1a1a",surface: "#2a2a2a",text: "#ffffff",textSecondary: "#cccccc"},fonts: {primary: "Arial, sans-serif",secondary: "Georgia, serif"},spacing: {small: 8,medium: 16,large: 24},borderRadius: {small: 4,medium: 8,large: 12}};// Apply custom themetimeline.setTheme(customTheme);
Performance Customization
Custom Performance Settings
// Custom performance configurationtimeline.setPerformanceConfig({rendering: {useRequestAnimationFrame: true,throttleUpdates: true,updateInterval: 16, // 60fpsenableCaching: true,cacheSize: 100},animations: {maxConcurrent: 10,maxPerItem: 5,enableOptimization: true},transitions: {useHardwareAcceleration: true,preloadTransitions: true,maxConcurrent: 5}});
