findable-ui

General info

• src contains TypeScript source files; lib will contain compiled JavaScript, which is what should be imported by the external application.
• Import paths used by the external application need to specify the full path starting from the package name, in the form @databiosphere/findable-ui/lib/<path>, where <path> is the path of the file within the lib folder.

Developing Findable UI alongside Data Biosphere Data Browser

1. Clone this repository into the same parent folder as the Data Biosphere Data Browser.
2. Set node version to 20.10.0 (this is also the version used by the Data Browser).
3. In the findable-ui repository directory:
   • Run npm ci.
   • Bump the version number in package.json e.g. npm version <update_type>.
   • Run npx tsc (this should be run when this repository is first downloaded and when any changes are made to the source files; one way this can be done more efficiently is by setting the default build task in VS Code so that it can be done with a keyboard shortcut).
4. In the Data Browser explorer directory (e.g. data-browser/explorer):
   • Run npm ci.
   • Update the @databiosphere/findable-ui dependency in the package.json file to use the new version of Findable UI.
   • Run npm link ../../findable-ui, which will create a symlink in node_modules pointing to findable-ui.
   • If any packages are later installed or uninstalled, the symlink will need to be created again, which can be done with the same command or by running npm link @databiosphere/findable-ui.
   • To successfully link to findable-ui, you may need to comment out the following packages from the next.config.mjs webpack configuration:
     • @tanstack/react-table
     • axios
