Vue component annotated text

This repository contains a reusable Vue 3 component to visualize text annotations on web pages. It can be used for linguistic analysis, text structure or other annotations on unicode text. It is best explained by the following screenshots:

Usage

Documentation

To build the docs run pnpm run docs:build

Slots

Every annotation has 2 named slots: annotation-start and annotation-end. One before the annotation, one after the annotation.

An example usage:

<AnnotatedText ...>
    <template #annotation-end="slotProps">
      <button>test</button>
    </template>
    <template #annotation-start="slotProps">
        <button>startTest</button>
    </template>
</AnnotatedText>

Install the package with your favorite packet manager: npm i @ghentcdh/vue-component-annotated-text and modify main.ts to include an import the css and paste the following in App.vue. After starting with npm run devyou should see some annotations.

<!-- 
In main.ts add the following line to import css for the component:

-->

<script setup lang="ts">
import {AnnotatedText, type Line, type Annotation, type AnnotationTarget} from '@ghentcdh/vue-component-annotated-text';

const lines = [ {start: 0,end:10, gutter:"1.", text:"0123456789"},
                {start: 11,end:20, gutter:"2.", text:"abcdefghij"},
                {start: 21,end:30, gutter:"3.", text:"klmnopqrst"},
                {start: 31,end:40, gutter:"4.", text:"uvwxyz1234"},
] as Line[];

const annotations = [ {id: "1",
  start: 1,
  end: 7,
  target: "text" as AnnotationTarget},
  {id: "2",
  start: 2,
  end: 9,
  target: "text" as AnnotationTarget},

] as Annotation[];
