Nivo is structured into multiple packages handled by lerna. In order to install all the required dependencies and to establish links between the various packages, please execute the following:
make init
please note that it will take a while as this project uses a lot of dependencies…
The easiest way to work on Nivo, is to use our storybook. The storybook development mode can be started via:
make storybook
The storybook uses the src code of each package, thus you don't have to build to see your changes.
You can also use the demo website while working on components, it might be useful to see how it behaves with various controls, and might be required to update the documentation if you change the public API of components.
The packages are automatically linked to the website, so it doesn't use the version from npm, however if you make some change to the source of a package, you'll have to rebuild it to see the changes.
To automate this process, you can start a watcher on the package you're working
on, for example if you want to make some change on the @nivo/bar package,
you should run make package-dev-bar and then start the website make website,
this way each change you make will trigger a build and will be (almost :))
immedialty visible on the website.
You can also build the packages without running a watcher, you have two options:
- Rebuild all the packages via
make packages-buildor… - Rebuild only a specific package, for example
make package-build-barfor@nivo/barpackage
To run unit tests on all packages, run the following command:
make packages-test
If you only made modifications on a specific package, you can use the scoped form to speed up the process:
make package-test-bar
where bar is the name of the targeted nivo package.
Nivo uses prettier in order to provide a consistent code style. If you made some modification to the existing code base, please run the formatting command before submitting your modifications:
make fmt
Nivo code base also uses eslint to enforce consistent code style. eslint is only enabled on packages for now, if you want to run eslint against all packages, please run:
make packages-lint
If you only made modifications on a specific package, you can use the scoped form to speed up the process:
make package-lint-bar
where bar is the name of the targeted nivo package.
Each package comes with its own README, we use screenshots from the website in order to illustrate available package components.
The script takes screenshots from the website using config defined in
conf/base.yaml, if you added a new package, please update this config accordingly.
To refresh the screenshots, please make sure the website is running on port 3000,
otherwise run:
make website
Then run the corresponding script:
make packages-screenshots
The website is a CRA based application.
The website is hosted on GitHub pages. In order to deploy the website (plus storybook), you need to have access to the nivo github repository. There's a convenient command to deploy both the website & storybook:
make deploy-all
