Clyune Component GalleryLiquid · How it works & code
Blob edge, droplet, wavy bottom; viscous stretch on hover
Runtime logic
Visiting `/css-fx/liquid`, DemoHost lazy-loads `demos/kits/kit-css.js` (registry `mod: 'kit-css'`) and calls `mount(host, { variant: 'liquid' })`. mount resolves the variant to family `liquid`; `withControls` builds the control panel (6 presets + sliders). `createCanvasStage` creates the `<canvas>` (HiDPI ≤ 2×, ResizeObserver) and the info panel. The family’s `build(S)` initialises state and returns the per-frame callback. Every `requestAnimationFrame`: read controls, advance a speed-scaled clock (dt ≤ 50 ms), run the frame callback; returned readouts go to the info panel. Changing parameters: colour/speed/size apply live; structural ones remount; leaving the page cancels rAF, removes listeners and frees resources.
Environment
Canvas 2D: 2D canvas drawing; requestAnimationFrame: Display-synced animation loop; ResizeObserver: Canvas follows container size; Pointer Events: Unified mouse/touch/pen events; devicePixelRatio: Crisp HiDPI rendering (capped at 2×) · react 18.3.1, react-router-dom 6.30.6, vite 5.4.21
Dependencies
react 18.3.1
Imported APIs
withControls — Wraps the demo in the shared control panel (presets, sliders, reset); hot-updates or remounts on change; paramsFromSpec — Turns the spec (colour/speed/size/count/extras) into control-panel parameter definitions; createCanvasStage — Shared Canvas 2D stage: canvas + info panel, HiDPI, one rAF loop, pointer state, idle auto-pointer; clamp — Clamps a value to a range; TAU — Constant 2π; fmt — Number formatting (fixed decimals); F — Formula block HTML; S.clear — Clears with the background colour (translucent = trails); S.onFrame — Registers a per-frame callback; its return value feeds the info panel; ctx.beginPath() — Starts a new path; ctx.lineTo() — Adds a straight line to a point; ctx.moveTo() — Moves the pen without drawing; ctx.closePath() — Closes the current sub-path; ctx.fill() — Fills the current path; ctx.ellipse() — Adds an elliptical arc; ctx.quadraticCurveTo() — Adds a quadratic Bézier segment; ctx.fillText() — Draws filled text; ctx.arcTo() — Adds an arc using tangent lines; ctx.stroke() — Strokes the current path

Code walkthrough
L853-856: Control definitions (colour/speed/size/count/extras): Primary Color, Droplet Size, Style, Viscosity. L857-857: Preset buttons: name → parameter overrides (5). L858-858: Info-panel content: live rows(v), formula, notes, params, steps. L859-888: Init function: sets up state and returns the per-frame callback: draws with Canvas 2D `beginPath`, `lineTo`, `moveTo`, `closePath`, `fill`, `ellipse` …; math via `Math.round`, `Math.hypot`, `Math.min`, `Math.sin`, `Math.max`, `Math.cos`; returns readouts `mode`, `ph`, `cell`, `colorHex` to the info panel.
