Development

Looking to contribute here is a guide on how to setup your environment and guides for adding a new feature.


Prerequisites

You will need to have ruby v3.1.2, node v21+ and pnpm 8+ installed.

Once you download the repo and get into the base of the folder you will need to run the below command to setup your local environment.

./bin/setup

New Controller

Adding a new Controller should follow the similarity of existing controllers.

All should be added in the src folder.

Be sure to add an import to the src/index.js file like other imports.

Once added be sure to run the bellow commands to compile.

pnpm build

Adding To Existing

Similily find the file you would like to add to and do so. Once added to then run the below commands to re compile.

pnpm build

Documentation

Documentation should include any classes, targets, values and actions available. Then detail example usages. You can also include implementation of a feature in another language like Ruby on Rails and such. See existing docs for examples.

A doc should be added to the documentation/docs/features/<feature-name>.md file

To Test the doc be sure to run the below commands

cd documentation
pnpm install
pnpm dev

Then navigate to your new doc, if you do not see your feature listed then be sure to enable or add it to the navigation and feature data files found in src/pages/index.md and/or src/data/navigations.js.

Playground

The playground is a place to create examples and test to ensure the feature addition or change is working as expected.

To add be sure to create a new file to build in, in a folder as follows playground/playground/<feature-name>/index.html also if adding a new controller be sure to registar in the docs/_layouts/default.html file for the playground site. Next you will need to enable the feature in the features file in _data/features.yml. See other examples in the playground folder for features and how to build.

To view and play in the playground from the below in all seperate terminal windows.

cd playground
pnpm install
bundle install
pnpm tailwind:watch
pnpm docs:dev
pnpm docs:open
