alice-ui-common (alice/ui-common)

This library should be used to abstract common user interface code to.

If you find yourself writing large code specs across the /ui codebase to accomplish similar tasks, it is highly likely that code should exist here instead.

How to develop locally

To avoid issues with needing to eject create-react-app and improve readability of the common code abstraction we have opted to keep the common modules package separate of the /ui repository and to write the code contained in this library in TypeScript

Follow the below directions to develop this codebase locally against a local running alicenet/ui application.

Setup

1. Clone the repository git clone git@github.com:alicenet/ui.git
2. Enter the directory and install all dependencies with yarn
3. To avoid issues with create-react-app create an npm link to the node_modules/react within /ui

~/alice-ui-common/
    ...
~/ui/
    ...

• You would run npm link ../ui/node_modules/react to link the ui-common react package to the one in /ui
  • Please note yarn link will not play nicely with this to the best of my knowledge

4. You do however use yarn link to link the module itself
   1. Within /ui-common run yarn link
   2. Then under /ui run yarn link alice-ui-common
5. After everything is linked run yarn develop to watch the local files and build as necessary
6. Within /ui run your application as per usual and alice-ui-common should both be available as normal but also support React Fast-Refresh after changes are made and compiled from the yarn develop watcher.

Submitting changes

Submit changes as per usual, however please be sure to include a latest dist build.
