Getting started

This project uses:

• Lerna to manage multiple packages/libraries.
• Storybook for a development environment.
• Gatsby v2 for a fast website.

Run these commands before doing anything else.

git clone https://github.com/mlibrary/umich-lib-ui.git
cd umich-lib-ui
npm install

⌨️ Development

Starts the Storybook development environment at http://localhost:9001 and opens the documentation site at http://localhost:8000.

npm run bootstrap
npm run build:watch
npm run storybook

What's going on with these commands?

• npm run bootstrap tells Lerna to optimize package dependencies and hoists common packages to the root. It will also symlink local packages that depend on each other.
• npm run build:watch builds the packages with babel so that they can be consumed by the documentation website and published to NPM.
• npm run storybook Starts the Storybook development environment.

Documentation site

Start the doc site locally. Built with Gatsby v2 for a fast website.

cd packages/docs
npm run develop

Be sure to run commands from the docs package directory.
