g-components

Reusable React components for building IG pages.

Adding to a project

There are two ways you can consume g-components:

  1. The full bundle
import { Accordion } from "@financial-times/g-components";
import from "@financial-times/g-components/styles.css";

This is the new way. It's easier and about as performant as the old way.

  1. Individual components
import Accordion from "@financial-times/g-components/accordion";
import from "@financial-times/g-components/styles.css";

If you're having performance issues, please try the old way of importing individual components.

Migrating to g-components v9

g-components v9 is lighter than previous versions and has a few significant API differences:

  1. You only need to import one CSS file regardless of whether you import individual components or the whole bundle:
import from "@financial-times/g-components/styles.css";
  1. The following components have been removed:
  • data-sonification
  • feature
  • html-head
  • progress
  • sticky-header
  • sticky

Please stay on v8 if you use any of these components.

Running the Storybook

You can see what components are available in Storybook:

$ npm run storybook

Development

To test components during development:

$ npm link ../g-components

Releasing

First make sure your local is up to date with the origin and that you're on the main branch:

$ git pull
$ git checkout main

Next, run npm version [major|minor|patch] to increment the version based on the type of changes in this release. We use Semantic Versioning to increment versions:

  • Breaking (non-backwards-compatible) changes should be a major release
  • New features (that are backwards-compatible) should be minor
  • Bug fixes should be a patch
  • Alternatively, you can use npm version vX.X.X to set the version yourself.

Finally, run git push --follow-tags to push the new version to GitHub, which will trigger the CircleCI pipeline that publishes the new version on NPM.

Pre-release ("canary") versions

If you'd like to release a pre-release version (e.g. to test or gradually roll out a new feature), you can create a new version like npm version v1.0.0-canary.0. The version number should represent the ultimate release this change will land in, while the final 0 can be incremented to make subsequent prerelease builds.

NPM can also generate this automatically for you, with npm version pre[major|minor|patch] --preid canary.
