Homeday Blocks

A library of Vue components and tokens used across Homeday projects - here

Local setup

Fork the main repository, clone your fork to your local machine and add the main repo as upstream.

$ git clone git@github.com:YOUR_USERNAME/homeday-blocks.git
$ cd homeday-blocks
$ git remote add upstream git@github.com:homeday-de/homeday-blocks.git

Prerequisites

Homeday Blocks requires Node.js version 14.17.0 (.nvmrc). It's recommended to manage multiple versions of Node on the same machine with nvm or nvm-windows.

Don't forget to setup the deeper shell integration in your console to take full advantage of nvm. You can achieve this by adding the following alias into your ~/.bashrc, or ~/.zshrc file:

alias cd="cdnvm(){ cd $1; if [[ -f .nvmrc && -s .nvmrc && -r .nvmrc ]]; then <.nvmrc nvm install; elif [[ $(nvm current) != $(nvm version default) ]]; then nvm use default; fi; };cdnvm"

Contribution guide

This project follows Git Feature Branch Workflow. See project setup to get started locally. That means that all code changes enter the project by PR to master branch. Once you open the PR with suggested changes, the checks for build and coverage will run. If those fail, your PR needs some more work. 😃

Each PR should be reviewed by at least two team members. Once reviewed and approved, it can be merged. Please follow the following convention when merging the PR:

1. Use "Squash and merge" to merge the PR.
2. Use a meaningful title when merging your PR.
3. Give title a semantic meaning through emojis. Please use emoji first, then the text.
4. 💥 - marks breaking changes (MAJOR version change)
5. ✨ - marks new feature (MINOR version change)
6. The other gitmojis are either a patch or have no effect at all.

It is important to follow this convention, because our automated releases are based on it.

Examples

Major change

💥 Removed HdNotNeeded component

Minor change

✨ Added HdAwesomeComponent

Patch

🐛 Fixed that annoying bug

Version release

Releasing a new version is as easy as pushing your changes to master 😎

• Github Actions will automatically deploy the storybook to our showcase env.
• And this Github workflow will automatically create a release on Github and publish a new version to NPM.

Consuming in other projects

import { HdDynamicForm } from 'homeday-blocks';

Customize configuration

See Configuration Reference.

Services

Together with the components, Homeday Blocks also provides useful services that can be reused across projects. You can read more about them in the services documentation.

Infrastructure

Homeday Blocks has its own infrastructure repository: blocks-infra. Whenever changes need to be made, you can do it in the repository and "deploy". If it is an emergency, you can also use AWS Console but your next step is to update it in the repository to avoid future inconsistencies.
