## 🧑🎨 Usage
[(Back to top)](#content-workflow-ui-component-library-)
The library is available on npm.
`npm install gather-content-ui`
Using the components is just like any other npm module. For e.g.:
```js
// Import the button component
import { Button } from 'gather-content-ui';
// Require once all the CSS directly from the node_modules folder
require('gather-ui/dist/styles.css');
```
## 💻 Local Development
[(Back to top)](#content-workflow-ui-component-library-)
1. Download the repository and run `npm ci`
2. Make changes to the components living on the `/lib` folder
3. Preview changes by running the live style guide, using `npm run storybook` and pointing your browser to `http://localhost:6006/`
4. Watch for file changes and rebuild with `npm run build:watch` (useful when you link your local version of `gather-ui` in the app)
## 🎨 Code Styling and Linting
[(Back to top)](#content-workflow-ui-component-library-)
We use both eslint and prettier to lint and format our code. You can run these commands to check your code;
```shell
npm run lint
```
If you would like to prettier to automatically fix the issues you can run:
```shell
npm run format:js
```
Furthermore, as we use TypeScript we also have the TypeScript compiler to check our code. You can run this command to check your code;
```shell
npm run type-check
```
### Stylelint
We also use stylelint to be able to lint and format our CSS. You can run these commands to check your code;
```shell
npm run lint:style
npm run format:style
```
## 🧑🔬 How to run tests
[(Back to top)](#content-workflow-ui-component-library-)
Tests live alongside the code within a `.specs` folder and should be ran using `npm run test`.
## 🏗 Setting up dependencies
[(Back to top)](#content-workflow-ui-component-library-)
All the project dependencies are listed in the `package.json` file. You can install them using `npm ci`.
NPM should have been installed when you ran through the local development in `docker-base`. However, if you don't have
it installed run `brew install node@18` to install it.
## ⌨ Useful commands

### Linking the library
You can use `npm link` to link your local version of this library to the `node_modules` in your app.
For this to work, you also need to run `npm link react` in this repository.

## 🚀 How to deploy
[(Back to top)](#content-workflow-ui-component-library-)
### 🧱 Building for production
To build the components to be consumed by any application, both JavaScript and CSS files need to be generated.
Running `npm run build` will:
1. Generate ES5 compliant versions of each component in `/dist`
2. Generate a `.css` files containing all the concatenated component styles.
3. Copy over Sass configuration files to the `/dist` folder in order to be consumed externally.
### 📰 Publishing
The best and easiest way to publish this library to npm is to use our GitHub action.

3. Click the "Run workflow" dropdown
4. Select a branch (this will just be main 99.99% of the time) and a version
5. Click "Run workflow"
6. Sit back and relax as the robots publish it for you! 🤖
