CLI tool for starting Kittik presentations.
Install it via npm:
npm install -g kittik-cli
Create your presentation:
kittik create my_presentation
Start your presentation:
kittik start my_presentation.yml
Let me show you the process of creating a presentation step by step.
First of all, you need to create an empty YAML file.
You can do this by touch my-presentation.yml
or scaffold it via kittik create my-presentation
.
For educational purposes, I'll create an empty YAML file called my-presentation.yml
.
Let's add our first slide declaration. Since our slides is an array of objects with slide declaration, we need to declare it as an array of objects:
slides:
- shapes:
animations:
order:
It is our first slide, but it's empty for now.
We need to declare some shape in it.
You can achieve this by adding an item into shapes
array.
shapes
is an array of objects with shapes declaration:
slides:
- shapes:
- name: "Our Shape Name"
type: "FigText"
options:
text: "Hello, Kittik"
x: "center"
y: "middle"
font: "Ghost"
animations:
order:
We have our first shape, which renders "Hello, Kittik" in the center of a terminal via Fig fonts.
Now, we need to say that we want this shape renders in specified order.
order
is an array of strings where you specify the name of a shape and animations to play:
slides:
- shapes:
- name: "Our Shape Name"
type: "FigText"
options:
text: "Hello, Kittik"
x: "center"
y: "middle"
font: "Ghost"
animations:
order:
- "Our Shape Name"
You can run the presentation via kittik start my-presentation.yml
now.
You will see our shape successfully rendered in a terminal.
What about animations?
Let's add some simple animation.
My favorite one is printing a text.
Add a similar declaration as in shapes, but in animations
property.
animations
is an array of objects where animations declaration are live:
slides:
- shapes:
- name: "Our Shape Name"
type: "FigText"
options:
text: "Hello, Kittik"
x: "center"
y: "middle"
font: "Ghost"
animations:
- name: "Our Animation Name"
type: "Print"
options:
duration: 4000
easing: "outBounce"
order:
- "Our Shape Name::Our Animation Name"
Take an attention to how order
property was changed.
I've added ::
and animation name that we declared previously.
That way, I'm saying to Kittik I want to render Our Shape Name
with animation Our Animation Name
.
Run the presentation:
