📚 Documentation
We use Catalog from documentation. Read the documentation for Catalog.
Docs are auto generated from the components markdown file. The filename will generate the menu name and URL. It is recommended to save the documentation files together with your components.
In development, the docs will live reload. It is recommended to always develop the components within the documentation.
The documentation is auto-deployed to Heroku https://hedwig-docs.herokuapp.com when pushed to master.
Guidelines
- All components should do one thing, and do that thing well.
- All CSS should be written to adhere to the BEM methology.
- All JS should be classless and use
data-attributes
to attach functionality. - New functionality should be reviewed by at least one other person before going into Hedwig.
Contributing
All right, you need to change or add something. What do you do?
1: If the thing you're changing or adding is specific to your project, and not all sites using Hedwig, use a separate css file to add or override functionality using your own classes and components.
2: If you're adding new functionality to Hedwig, follow the below development guide below.
3: If you've found a bug, follow the below "Found a bug?" guide below.
Development
To develop on the project, please first read our guidelines and the contributing section above.
To add a new feature:
- Create a new feature branch (
git checkout -b branchname
) - Develop the new feature (Template css and js files can be found in the
/templates
folder) - Document and test the new feature
- Create a pull request and ask for a review
To modify an existing feature follow the same process, but also remember the versioning system. If there is a breaking change, or if this might impact existing sites using hedwig, update the version number. See below for details.
Tip: In order to test changes on a locally running application which uses hedwig, replace the dependencies with the following dev server URLs (after running hedwig locally):
http://localhost:3001/posten.css
http://localhost:3001/main.js
Versioning
Hedwig uses semantic versioning to make sure once a site starts using it, the CSS file won't suddenly change and break the site. The version number is located in package.json
, and will be appended to the .css
and .js
files. Example - bring-1.0.3.css
.
When a breaking change is added, a new major version is required.
🔨 Hosting
Production CSS, JavaScript and assets are hosted on a CDN using Amazon S3 and Amazon Cloudfront.
To upload the build folder to S3:
npm run s3:upload
To download the build folder from S3:
npm run s3:download
Remember to fill en the keys in .env
.
⭐ Icons
We use inline SVG's for icons.
For the future it will probably be a good idea to have a own repository for icons, (i.e. hedwig-icons
), where both source "master" files (AI, Sketch) and the SVG's can be stored.
It works like this:
- Place icons in the
build/assets/icons/
folder (for now) - Run
npm run svg
to generate SVG sprite - Use icons like described in the docs
To update icons in production:
- Run
npm run s3:upload
- Include
https://bring-hedwig.s3.amazonaws.com/hedwig/icons.js
in the footer of the document
🅰️ Fonts
We host our fonts on S3 (http://bring-hedwig.s3.amazonaws.com/assets/fonts/fonts.css). To update the fonts, update font files in assets/fonts
on S3. We do it this way both to keep Hedwig clean and to avoid legal issues with publishing the fonts on our open-sourced repo.
🔧 Linting
Linting our project is import to keep a holistic code base. It is recommended to use a linting plugin for your editor while developing.
JavaScript uses ESLint with the Airbnb config.
CSS uses Stylelint with the standard config.
🌐 Browser support
We support every browser 2 last version, pluss IE10. For IE9 we have partial support. We want it to work, but it won't look perfect.
Note:
Most components are tested in IE10, but IE9 is still yet to be tested.
