Recogito React Text Annotator

Installation

npm install @recogito/text-annotator @annotorious/react @recogito/react-text-annotator

Quick Start

import { Annotorious } from '@annotorious/react';
import { TextAnnotator } from '@recogito/react-text-annotator';

export const App = () => {

  return (
    <Annotorious>
      <TextAnnotator>
        <p>
          Tell me, O muse, of that ingenious hero who travelled far and wide
          after he had sacked the famous town of Troy. Many cities did he
          visit, and many were the nations with whose manners and customs
          he was acquainted; moreover he suffered much by sea while trying
          to save his own life and bring his men safely home; but do what
          he might he could not save his men, for they perished through their
          own sheer folly in eating the cattle of the Sun-god Hyperion; so the
          god prevented them from ever reaching home. Tell me, too, about all
          these things, O daughter of Jove, from whatsoever source you may know them.
        </p>
      </TextAnnotator>
    </Annotorious>
  )

}

Selection Popup

You can create a custom selection popup with the TextAnnotationPopup helper component.

import { Annotorious } from '@annotorious/react';
import { TextAnnotator, TextAnnotationPopup } from '@recogito/react-text-annotator';

export const App = () => {

  return (
    <Annotorious>
      <TextAnnotator>
        <p>
          ...
        </p>

        <TextAnnotationPopup
          asPortal
          popup={props => (<div>Hello World</div>)} />
      </TextAnnotator>
    </Annotorious>
  )

}

Hooks

The Recogito Text Annotator leverages the Annotorious framework underneath the hood. All of the Annotorious hooks are available:

useAnnotator

Provides access to the Text Annotator instance.

const anno = useAnnotator();

useAnnotatorUser

Provides the current annotator user set via the anno.setUser() method, if any.

const user: User = useAnnotatorUser();

useSelection

Provides the current selection state object and, optionally, the associated pointer event.

const { selected, event } = useSelection();

useViewportState

Provides the annotations currently visible in the viewport. This hook will respond to scrolling and resizing the annotation area. You can optionally debounce this hook, to limit re-rendering.

const annotations: ImageAnnotation[] = useViewportState(debounceMillis: number);

TEI/XML

The React wrapper includes utility components for the TEI extension.

import { useEffect, useState } from 'react';
import { Annotorious } from '@annotorious/react';
import { TEIAnnotator, CETEIcean } from '@recogito/react-text-annotator';

export const App = () => {

  const [tei, setTEI] = useState<string | undefined>(undefined);

  useEffect(() => {
    fetch('paradise-lost.xml')
      .then(res => res.text())
      .then(setTEI);
  }, []);

  return (
    <Annotorious>
      <TEIAnnotator>
        <CETEIcean tei={tei} />
      </TEIAnnotator>
    </Annotorious>
  );

}
