Higher Order Components (HoC)

Higher Order Components represent sophisticated composite architectures that encapsulate multiple LVGL components with predefined behavioral patterns and interactions. These components provide engineered solutions for common UI patterns while maintaining configurability and extensibility.

Architecture Overview

HoCs implement abstraction layers over basic LVGL components, providing:

  • Encapsulated Behavior: Complex interaction logic handled through internal state management
  • Consistent Interface: Standardized appearance and behavior patterns
  • Development Efficiency: Reduced implementation time for standard UI patterns
  • Configuration Flexibility: Comprehensive customization options while maintaining architectural integrity

Component Catalog

Interactive Control Components

  • State Button - Multi-state button implementation with visual feedback mechanisms
  • Label Slider - Slider component with integrated value display functionality
  • Value Slider - Numeric input component with slider control interface

Input and Selection Components

  • Check Group - Grouped checkbox and radio button control systems

Implementation Guidelines

Higher Order Components are recommended for the following use cases:

  1. Standard Interface Patterns: Implementation of established UI paradigms such as navigation systems
  2. Complex State Management: Multi-step user interactions requiring sophisticated state handling
  3. Design System Consistency: Maintaining uniform design patterns across application modules
  4. Rapid Development: Accelerated development cycles for standard interface components

Integration Workflow

  1. Identify appropriate HoC components within the component palette
  2. Deploy components to the design canvas using drag-and-drop operations
  3. Configure component parameters through the properties inspector
  4. Apply custom styling to align with application design requirements

Each HoC includes comprehensive technical documentation covering implementation examples, parameter specifications, and customization procedures.

Implementation Best Practices

  • Component Selection: Choose HoCs that precisely match functional requirements and use cases
  • Configuration Strategy: Utilize customization parameters while preserving usability and accessibility
  • Integration Testing: Validate HoC behavior within the target application context and user workflows
  • Performance Optimization: Monitor resource utilization and rendering performance for complex HoC implementations
