# @polkadot/ui-reactive
WARNING: This is an internal package to [polkadot-js/apps](https://github.com/polkadot-js/apps) so is not inteded (yet) for broad use. Since these are generic components, they will move to the [polkadot-js/ui](https://github.com/polkadot-js/ui) repo once deemed stable and usable.
For the existing sharable components usable in external React-based projects, take a look at the [polkadot-js/ui documentation](https://polkadot.js.org/ui/)
## Overview
A collection of RxJS enabled React components that operate with the [@polkadot/api-rx](https://github.com/polkadot-js/api) library. It automatically manages subscriptions on behalf of the developer, providing a number of unstyled components that can be used to construct UIs.
## Usage
Basic usage entails creating a `ContextProvider` and just using the components. For instance, to display the current node time,
```js
import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import { Api, NodeTime } from '@polkadot/ui-reactive';
...
ReactDOM.render(
<Api>
<NodeTime />
</Api>,
document.querySelector('#container')
);
...
```
All components are provided unstyled making no assumptions on the actual use, however they all support (optionally) the `label`, `className` and `style` attributes, that can be used to style to component.
```js
...
ReactDOM.render(
<Api>
<NodeTime className='rx-time' label='current node time:' />
</Api>,
document.querySelector('#container')
);
...
```
