Getting Started

Cloning the Repository

To get started with the project, clone the repository from GitHub:

git clone https://github.com/cluster-data-experience/lib-enstall.git

Installing Dependencies

cd lib-enstall
npm install

Running the Project

After installing the dependencies, you can run the project:

npm run dev 

This will start the development server. Open your browser and navigate to http://localhost:5173.

Using the CLI Tool (enstall-lib-cli)

Setting Up the CLI

To use the CLI tool globally, you need to create an npm link:

1. Navigate to the CLI directory:

   cd cli

2. Install the CLI dependencies:

   npm install

3. Create a global link:

   ```
   npm link
   ```

   This will make enstall-lib-cli available globally on your system.

For detailed information about the CLI, refer to the CLI README.

Adding Components to Your Project

With the CLI, you can add entire component directories to your project:

enstall-lib-cli add <component-directory-path>

• Replace <component-directory-path> with the path to the component directory you want to add.

• For example:

enstall-lib-cli add Buttons/Button1

• This command will copy the entire Button1 directory, including all its files and subdirectories, into your project's src/lib/Buttons/Button1 directory.

• Overwrite Prompt:

  • If the destination directory already exists, the CLI will prompt you:

  Destination component path "your_project_path/src/lib/Buttons/Button1" already exists. Do you want to overwrite it? (y/n):

• Respond with y, yes, s, or sim to overwrite, or n, no, or nao to cancel the operation.

Creating and Managing Components

Component Structure

• Components are organized within the src/components directory.

• Each component should reside in its own directory and include all related files (e.g., styles, subcomponents).

• Example structure:

src/
└── components/
    ├── Buttons/
    │   └── Button1/
    │       ├── Button1.tsx
    │       ├── Button1.module.css
    │       └── index.ts
    └── Cards/
        └── Card1/
            ├── Card1.tsx
            ├── Card1.module.css
            └── index.ts

Adding Components to the Example Application

To add components to the example application:

1. Navigate to the example directory:

   cd example

2. Install dependencies:

   npm install

3. Use the CLI to add components:

   enstall-lib-cli add <component-directory-path>

• For example:

  	```
  	enstall-lib-cli add Buttons/Button1
  	```
  	- This will copy the `Button1` component into the `src/lib/Buttons/Button1` directory of the example application.

4. Import and use the component in your application pages as needed.

Example Application

The project includes an example application located in the example directory, which demonstrates how to use the components and the CLI tool.

Running the Example Application

1. Navigate to the example directory:

   cd example

2. Install dependencies:

   npm install

3. Start the development server:

   npm run dev

4. Open your browser and navigate to http://localhost:5173 to view the example application.
