Creating new packages
We use use Plop to create scripts that help you to scaffold new packages. In the root of the repo, you can run yarn generate. Then follow the steps in the CLI. Plop will generate the relevant files and add the relevant imports and exports to the main src/index.ts file required to make the component available when publishing the library. Read more about contribution to Forma 36.
Development
For local development, in the root of the repo run yarn to install all dependencies and then yarn build to build all packages. Now follow the instructions of the specific package you’re working on.
You will find each package’s instructions in their README files, check the Packages section for a list of all packages.
In case you are having problems to install the dependencies, try using NVM to get the same node version we use by running
nvm usein the root of the repo
Storybook for f36-components
We use storybook with our react component library to develop components. You can start it from the root of the repo, just run yarn storybook
Commits & releases
Use yarn commit. This uses the Commitzen CLI to create a conventional commit message based on your changes. CI is setup to release all new commits on the main branch that contains a new changeset.
