Building of component library.
I left notes throughout the files about certain attributes and things that are more specific to building a component instead of using the library or applications as a whole.
<encova-button> Green rounded button. Attributes: text - Text to go on the button
<encova-form> Basic form with label, text field and submit button. On submit, text will clear and print to console.
<encova-slat> Basic vehicle coverage card
Run npm sign in commands: npm adduser then add your account. Once you are logged in, you can run npm init or make changes directly in the package.json file. Once these are completed a run of npm publish can be used to publish to your NPM org
When storybook is initialized, it may be on a newer version and have a slightly different file structure. Make sure to check the ./.storybook/main.js file and the demo story files to make sure you are naming files correctly and are placing them in the correct location in the file structure. They can be changed easily if it's decided they make sense somwhere else
Addons can be used very easily as well. Make sure to read the adddons documentation before getting started. They need to be installed using NPM then imported into the main.js file for them to be allowed in your story files.
Stencil component libraries have a few extra files that you may or may not need. There are a bunch of config files that are determining how the Typescript files work, how Stencil gets bundled and some utils that were used in an example component.
Stencil Components generate their own readme files that can be edited. I would reccommend putting information about the component in the readme just so there is something about it. It auto-generates information about all the publically accessible properties of the component.
I never got around to working on tests, but the component comes with 2 different test files that can be used along with the component. But, the components can be tested using Jest or Mocha
0.0.1 - 7/7/20 - Built basic encova styled button, pushed to github repo, builds correctly in stencil
0.0.2 - 7/7/20 - Forgot to run npm run build, commit and push then published to NPM
0.0.3 - Minor update - 7/7/20 - Working correctly! Imported well into the React Application - needed the customElements polyfills added to index.js in order to run. Polyfill imported from loader folder in index.js, component imported from component name in any file it is used in.
0.0.4 - Minor Update - 7/7/20 - Minor readme updates to make sure they appear on NPM
0.0.5 - Storybook Addition - 7/8/20 - Storybook added to project. Added preview.js file and build.watch script. To run correctly, run npm run build.watch, then run npm run storybook. Storybook requires a prod build of the component.
0.0.6 - Second Component Addition - 7/8/20 - Form component added to project. Story files added for storybook as well. Ran npm run build before testing and publishing. Once published, will be tested in React App. build.watch might not actually be necessary for running storybook.
0.0.7 - 7/8/20 - Updated description for package
0.0.8 - 7/8/20 - Adding Storybooks Knobs Addon to project. Working correctly, added one story to <encova-button> that makes use of knobs addition.
0.0.9 - 7/8/20 - Added chromatic for static storybook generation hosting. Attempted deploying on multiple services, but all failed except chromatic. Link is located in links section.
0.0.10 - 7/9/20 - unpkg.com link works, script tag is below. Adding functionality to the encova-button for onClick. On click, alert window will display with given text. Wrote story with and without knobs for the alert.
0.0.11 - 8/19/20 - Most recent versioning of all components built over the course of the summer. README also updated
Runs through stencil npm run start
To install Storybook: npx -p @storybook/cli sb init --type html
Run npm run build before storybook can be loaded
Run npm run storybook
<script src="https://unpkg.com/encova-button-stencil-component@0.0.11/dist/encova-button-stencil-component/encova-button-stencil-component.js"></script> - This script tag can be place in any HTML file to load the component library for use without node/NPM. Version number can be changed to the most recent version, but rest of link stays the same.
Keep all stories in the ./stories folder. Main.js knows to look there for all Storybook files
Vercel did not work when deploying. Tried changing run scripts but none worked.
Netlify was not working, tried adding --quiet command to the build-storybook script but still failed
npx chromatic --project-token=m29qepgw008 - publishes to chromatic, checks for new versions. Runs build and creates "version control" system for storybook stories. Generates static site for Storybook.
