react-wood-duck

The react-wood-duck is a shared pattern library hosting re-usable components and styles to be used across all CWS-NS digital services. This library provides a common ‘language’ for CWS-NS designers and developers for front-end assets. It is aimed at improving communication, collaboration, productivity, and reducing coding efforts.

Installation

To Install:

npm install react-wood-duck --save --dev

For specific version:

npm install react-wood-duck@version

Usage

Now, you can import the components from the library into the application:

@import {component-name} from 'react-wood-duck'

Development

(src, dist)

The most important files in this library are index.js and package.json. As you know, package.json is a standard Npm configuration file. In the index.js file, we have the main export for the components to be exported. It points to the dist folder which will be created after the publish task has been run. It will basically transpile the code in src to ES5 and place all transpiled code in the dist folder.

You will work mostly in the src folder where you can write your React component code. If you look in the repo, you’ll find some basic re-usable react components, styles folder where all the CSS and images are located that supports styles. Also in the src folder we have the tests folder were you can right your test cases for the components.

NOTE: The library is using a babel plugin "transform-es2015-modules-umd" to transpile the code into ES5.

Contributing

Contribution and Integration of this pattern library by digital services results in reducing coding efforts for all developers. You can contribute by adding new components and by modifying existing components and styles.

Add and Modify the Components

Clone the repository from git:

git clone https://github.com/ca-cwds/react-wood-duck.git

To get all npm dependencies in react-wood-duck, run command:

npm install 

For Specific dependency:

npm install "dependency-name" 

Create or Modify the react components by following the Style Guidelines.

Every time when you create the new react components, make sure to export them in the index.js file. For Example:

var Alert = require('./dist/Alert.js').default;
var Button = require('./dist/Button.js').default;
module.exports = {
	Alert,
	Button,
};

After creating or modifying the react components in react-wood-duck/src, run command:

npm run prepublish

NOTE: when you run this, it compiles the "src" code and generates the transpiled CommonJS in “dist” folder within your local machine

Push to git

Commit the changes and push to GitHub:

git status 
git add . 
git commit -m “Your Message and specify the updated version number” 
git push origin master  

Versioning

Use SemVer for versioning:

npm version patch/minor/major

Publish to NPM

npm publish -m “your message/version number”

Documentation

When you add the new components, update the List of Components in ReadMe file. Any necessary documentation can be added.
