#predraw.loader
Load and resolve a predraw project from JSON files.
#load_scene
def load_scene(path: str) -> SceneLoad a scene from a file or directory.
If path is a directory, looks for main.json. If path is a file, loads it directly.
The document is validated against the strictspec scene schema before parsing (version gate + full structural validation); an invalid document raises SchemaValidationError.
#_load_json
def _load_json(path: Path) -> dictLoad and parse a JSON file.
#_canonicalize_aliases
def _canonicalize_aliases(node)Recursively rewrite alias spellings to their canonical camelCase form.
Runs after strictspec validation, which guarantees no alias pair has both spellings present, so each rename is unambiguous. After this pass the parser reads canonical keys only.
#_parse_scene
def _parse_scene(data: dict, base_dir: str) -> SceneParse raw JSON dict into a Scene, resolving imports.
#_parse_element
def _parse_element(data: dict) -> ElementParse a raw JSON dict into an Element.
#_parse_gradient
def _parse_gradient(data: dict) -> GradientParse a gradient dict into a Gradient object.
#_resolve_imports
def _resolve_imports(scene: Scene, base_dir: str) -> NoneLoad imported component files and store in scene.defs.
#resolve_styles
def resolve_styles(scene: Scene, mode: str='dark') -> SceneResolve all $ref style tokens in the scene for the given mode.
Walks all elements, replaces any fill value starting with "$" with the resolved color from scene.styles for the given mode.
#_resolve_element_styles
def _resolve_element_styles(element: Element, styles: dict[str, Style], mode: str) -> NoneRecursively resolve style references in an element.
#load_config
def load_config(path: str) -> dictLoad config.json from a directory or return defaults.
When a config.json is present it is validated against the strictspec config schema (version gate + full validation) before being returned; an invalid config raises SchemaValidationError. When absent, the in-memory default is returned as-is.
