Usage

Want to use Nautilus in your next web app? Well: don't! It's much too early and it's nowhere near ready for production usage. Check back later. 😅

You can technically install it from NPM, but you can't say we didn't warn you!

npm install @octopusthink/nautilus

Development

Want to contribute to Nautilus, or test it locally? Here's how!

Prerequisites

node (LTS)
npm

Installing

Clone the repo:

git clone https://github.com/octopusthink/nautilus.git

Navigate into the directory:

cd nautilus

Install the dependencies:

npm install

And use npm to compile files, watch for changes, and build the styleguide:

npm start

This will start a server for the styleguide at http://localhost:6060/ and watch for any changes.

You'll need to restart npm if you make changes to styleguide.config.js, but otherwise you should be good to go!

Running the tests

We use jest to run our unit tests. If you've made changes, jest will only run tests on files related to your changes:

npm test

Linting

We lint our code using eslint and prettier. You can check your changes for linting violations with:

npm run lint
