# Welcome to Reach UI Development ♿️
Thanks for getting involved with Reach UI development!
## Looking for the documentation?
https://reach.tech/
## Getting Started
Reach UI is built and tested with [Yarn](https://yarnpkg.com). Please follow their [install instructions](https://yarnpkg.com/getting-started/install) to get Yarn installed on your system.
Then, run these commands:
```
git clone [email protected]:reach/reach-ui.git
cd reach-ui
pnpm install
pnpm build
```
## Root Repo Scripts:
```sh
pnpm build # builds all packages
pnpm dev # starts storybook server
pnpm test # runs tests in all packages
```
## Running / Writing Examples
First do the steps in "Getting started", then start the Storybook server:
```
pnpm dev
```
Next, put a file in `packages//examples/.example.js` and make it look like this:
```jsx
import * as React from "react";
// The name of the example (always name the variable `name`)
let name = "Basic";
// The example to render (always name the function `Example`)
function Example() {
return
;
}
// Assign the name to the example and then export it as a named constant
Example.storyName = name;
export const Basic = Example;
// Default export an object with the title matching the name of the Reach package
export default { title: "Dialog" };
```
Now you can edit the files in `packages/*` and storybook will automatically reload your changes.
**Note**: If you change an internal dependency you will need to run `yarn build` again. For example, if working on `MenuButton` requires a change to `Rect` (an internal dependency of `MenuButton`), you will need to run `yarn build` for the changes to `Rect` to show up in your `MenuButton` example.
## Running / Writing Tests
First do the steps in "Getting Started", then:
```
pnpm test
```
Or if you want to run the tests as you edit files:
```
pnpm test --watch
```
Often you'll want to just test the component you're working on:
```
cd packages/
pnpm test --watch
```
## Development Plans
The components to be built come from the the [Aria Practices Design Patterns and Widgets](https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-practices-1.2), with a few exceptions. Here is a table of the components and their status.
✅ - Released
- Building
| Status | Name |
| ------ | -------------- |
| ✅ | Accordion |
| ✅ | Alert |
| ✅ | Alert Dialog |
| ✅ | Checkbox |
| ✅ | Combo Box |
| ✅ | Dialog (Modal) |
| ✅ | Disclosure |
| | Hover Card |
| ✅ | Listbox |
| ✅ | Menu Button |
| | Radio Group |
| ✅ | Slider |
| ✅ | Tabs |
| | Toggletip |
| ✅ | Tooltip |
## Releases [DEPRECATED]
This is (was?) our current release process. It's not perfect, but it has almost the right balance of manual + automation for me. We might be able to put some of this in a script...
```
…
```
You need to be careful when publishing a new package because the `lerna publish` on CI will fail for new packages. To get around this, you should publish a `0.0.0` version of the package manually ahead of time. Then the release from CI will be ok. This is really janky but AFAICT the only workaround.
Stuff I'd like to improve:
- Automate changelog generation and GitHub release from CI
- Document how we're using GitHub PRs to generate the changelog somewhere
## Website
The website is a Gatsby app in the `website` directory. It automatically deploys to https://reach.tech/ when the `website` branch is updated.
