Installation

First, install the npm package using yarn or npm:

npm i @bliplabs/react

# - OR -

yarn add @bliplabs/react

Usage

Import Blip's BillList component in your project:

import { Bill, BillList, BillListConfig } from '@bliplabs/react';

The component requires data from the Blip API in order to render actual information. To do this, simply pass an object that contains an array of bills straight from Blip's API - we recommend using the Blip Quickstart to replicate the below data:

const bills: Bill[] = [
  {
    name: 'Netflix',
    merchant_id: 'c352a66b-c667-4e0a-8a3d-eac3a0f1871b',
    amount_mean: 10,
    transactions_count: 5,
    categories: ['subscriptions'],
    frequency: 30,
    expected_due_date: '2020-01-23',
    enduser_oid: '35f83baa-77d3-4cae-80c1-45d1984a185d',
    amount_median: 10,
    amount_std: 0,
    amount_total: 50,
    amount_min: 10,
    amount_max: 10,
    first_transaction_date: '2019-08-24',
    last_transaction_date: '2019-12-24',
    is_manual: false,
    merchant: {
      name: 'Netflix',
      logo_url:
        'https://cdn.tryblip.com/logos/billers/blr_kIblcVj74PladXcpVvZGO.jpg',
      login_url:
        'http://api.bliplabs.com/v2/links/bill/c3480ecc-fdac-48da-bd82-0c32f9137344/merchant/login_url',
      billpay_url: null,
      phone: null,
      email: null,
    },
    id: 'c3480ecc-fdac-48da-bd82-0c32f9137344',
    is_bill: true,
  },
];

Now, plug it in!

<BillList bills={bills} />

Configure styles

The component is built with a default design which can then be customized by passing in a configuration object with variables to override the defaults and style the BillList to fit the look and feel of your application.

const config: Partial<BillListConfig> = {
  billBackgroundColor: 'white',
  billBorderRadius: 12,
  billPadding: 20,
  logoBorderRadius: 6,
  iconColorCalendar: 'orange',
  iconColorFrequency: 'orange',
  iconColorBillpay: 'lightgreen',
  colorMerchantName: 'black',
  colorAmount: 'black',
  colorFrequency: 'orange',
  colorDueDate: 'gray',
};

Passing the configuration object into the component will style the list accordingly.

<BillList bills={bills} config={config} />
