Usage

Here is a quick example to get you started:

./App.js

import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import MyAwesomeReactComponent from './MyAwesomeReactComponent';

const App = () => (
    <MyAwesomeReactComponent />
);

ReactDOM.render(
  <App />,
  document.getElementById('app')
);

./MyAwesomeReactComponent.js

import React from 'react';
import {Button} from 'apparena-patterns-react';

const MyAwesomeReactComponent = () => (
  <Button type="primary">Label</Button>
);

export default MyAwesomeReactComponent;

Please refer to each component's documentation page to see how they should be imported.

Pattern documentation

This repository also contains the code for the pattern documentation. You can view the documentation at https://brand.app-arena.com/.

Contributing

If you would like to contribute to the documentation or write documentation for a new component please have a look at our guide to writing documentation! If you want to start hacking away at the frontend, which can be found at https://brand.app-arena.com/, please read our guide to working on the frontend.

Creating a new pattern

We provide a yeoman generator that requires 2 clicks to create a new pattern.

Install the generator: npm install -g generator-apparena-pattern
cd into the App-Arena patterns root directory (it contains a .yo-rc.json file)
Run the generator: yo apparena-pattern
Follow the onscreen prompts
Overwrite the file source/patterns/index.js if prompted (make a backup of your changes!)

Done! Now edit your newly created pattern under source/patterns/...

Preparing for the pull request

Your commits leading up to the pull request should be named properly. Each commit should begin with the name of the component that you have worked on in square brackets followed by a quick summary of what was done.
Example: [Component] Added documentation

If you want to have your changes published to NPM as well then you should prefix the message when mergin the pull request into master branch with the semver release level in square brackets, these are: major, minor, or patch. If you add the component name into the message it has to come after the semver release level (e.g. "patch Added documentation").
Omitting the semver release level, or using an invalid one, skips the NPM deployment and only updates the documentation.

Always run the tests and the linter prior to opening a pull request and fix any issues, errors and warnings that occur.
