Clover IIIF

A minimal IIIF viewer for Image, Audio, and Video canvases built with React.js

Demo

Clover IIIF is a UI component that renders a multicanvas IIIF item viewer intended for Video and Sound content resources with basic pan-zoom support for Image via OpenSeadragon. Provide a IIIF Presentation manifest and the component:

• Renders a multi-canvas Video, Sound, and Image viewer
• Renders thumbnails as navigation between canvases
• Renders annotations with the motivation of supplementing with a content resource having the format of text/vtt for Video and Sound
• Video and Sound are rendered within a HTML5 <video> element
• Image canvases are renderered with OpenSeadragon
• Supports HLS streaming for .m3u8 extensions

Installation

Install the component from your command line using npm install,

npm install @samvera/clover-iiif

OR if you prefer Yarn, use yarn add.

yarn add @samvera/clover-iiif

---

Basic Usage

Add the CloverIIIF component to your jsx or tsx code.

import CloverIIIF from "@samvera/clover-iiif";

Mnimal usage providing the <CloverIIIF/> component with an external manifest.

const manifestId =
  "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/samvera-labs/clover-iiif/main/public/fixtures/iiif/manifests/sample.json";

return <CloverIIIF manifestId={manifestId} />;

See Example

---

Active Canvas

Example on using canvasIdCallback to return to your consuming application the active canvas ID. This will return as a string.

const manifestId =
  "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/samvera-labs/clover-iiif/main/public/fixtures/iiif/manifests/sample.json";

const handlCanvasIdCallback = (activeCanvasId) => {
  if (activeCanvasId) console.log(activeCanvasId);
};

return (
  <CloverIIIF
    manifestId={manifestId}
    canvasIdCallback={handlCanvasIdCallback}
  />
);

See Example

Configuring Captions

WebVTT content resources are the source for both content mapped closed captioning <track/> elements in the HTML 5 video player and to the navigator panel adjacent to it. You may ignore these resources as tracks if they are not intended for closed captioning or subtitling by string values matching the label of the content resource. This is a manual option within the viewer as there is no defined way for a manifest to prescribe motivation for these resources beyond supplementing.

Supplementing Annotation to Ignore

{
  "id": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/samvera-labs/clover-iiif/main/public/fixtures/iiif/manifests/captions.json/canvas/1/page/annotation_page/1/annotation/2",
  "type": "Annotation",
  "motivation": "supplementing",
  "body": {
    "id": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/samvera-labs/clover-iiif/main/public/fixtures/vtt/around_the_corner_chapters.vtt",
    "type": "Text",
    "format": "text/vtt",
    "label": {
      "en": ["Chapters"]
    },
    "language": "en"
  },
  "target": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/samvera-labs/clover-iiif/main/public/fixtures/iiif/manifests/captions.json/canvas/1"
}

Configuration Option Implementation

export default function App() {
  const manifestId =
    "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/samvera-labs/clover-iiif/main/public/fixtures/iiif/manifests/captions.json";

  const options = {
    ignoreCaptionLabels: ["Chapters"],
  };

  return <CloverIIIF manifestId={manifestId} options={options} />;
}

See Example

Custom Theme

You may choose to override the base theme by setting optional colors and fonts. Naming conventions for colors are limited to those shown in the config example below.

const manifestId =
  "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/samvera-labs/clover-iiif/main/public/fixtures/iiif/manifests/sample.json";

const customTheme = {
  colors: {
    /**
     * Black and dark grays in a light theme.
     * All must contrast to 4.5 or greater with `secondary`.
     */
    primary: "#37474F",
    primaryMuted: "#546E7A",
    primaryAlt: "#263238",

    /**
     * Key brand color(s).
     * `accent` must contrast to 4.5 or greater with `secondary`.
     */
    accent: "#C62828",
    accentMuted: "#E57373",
    accentAlt: "#B71C1C",

    /**
     * White and light grays in a light theme.
     * All must must contrast to 4.5 or greater with `primary` and  `accent`.
     */
    secondary: "#FFFFFF",
    secondaryMuted: "#ECEFF1",
    secondaryAlt: "#CFD8DC",
  },
  fonts: {
    sans: "'Avenir', 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif",
    display: "Optima, Georgia, Arial, sans-serif",
  },
};

return <CloverIIIF manifestId={manifestId} customTheme={customTheme} />;

const options = {
  // Primary title (Manifest label) for top level canvas.  Defaults to true
  showTitle: false,

  // IIIF Badge and popover containing options.  Defaults to true

  // Ignore supplementing canvases by label value that are not for captioning
  ignoreCaptionLabels: ['Chapters']
}
...

<CloverIIIF manifestId={...} options={options} />

Manifest Requirements

The manifest provided to manifestId:

• MUST be a IIIF Presentation API valid manifest,
• MUST have at least one canvas with an annotation of the motivation of painting and content resource with the type of Video, Sound, or Image
• SHOULD have canvases with annotations of the motivation of supplementing and content resource with the format of text/vtt
• MAY have HLS streaming media, however, the file extension MUST be .m3u8 for Sound and Video

Development

Clover IIIF is built with:

• TypeScript
• ESBuild
• Vault
• OpenSeadragon
• Radix UI
• Stitches

Environment

This will open up a local dev server with live reloading.

npm install
npm run dev

Build

This will build and package the component

npm run build

This will create a static version of the site to the /static directory

npm run build:static

Notes

• ESBuild compiles TypeScript to JavaScript, but does not do type checking. To view type checking errors (in addtion to what your IDE will be complaining about), run:

tsc
