Polaris Lighthouse

Project brief | Vault

TL;DR. Polaris Lighthouse will prevent mainline failures and guide developers shipping +2516k lines of SCSS lines of code every 30 days to the green path.

Polaris Lighthouse is a combination of existing tools and new ideas that enables builders in the Admin to write SCSS and TSX code using Polaris components and tokens, rather than custom values. Bringing these tools together into a cohesive platform and shipping them to shopify/web, 1st party and 3rd party applications will result in:

• A decrease of new code being shipped that is not mainline
• Reduce time and effort to ship breaking changes at scale
• Improved admin user experience by using Polaris as intended
• Give admin builders agency by knowing what may be wrong and to do the right thing in their own timeline and pace
• Increase to mainline coverage -> Faster iteration of design

Today these gaps exist and need to be addressed in this project:

• Spin and Shopify CLI include polaris-vscode autocomplete and stylelint-polaris
• Linting rules that support warnings (in addition to failures) and in-context links to relevant documentation
• Align with Admin FED working group on strategy to roll this out
• Turn on Polaris Lighthouse in shopify/web
• Update polaris-coverage to support the above changes
