Baklava

[muratcorlu]

This is an epic issue for tracking the roadmap to the first stable version of Baklava (previously named as Grace).

Motivation

After using Grace as one of the UI libraries inside Trendyol, now we decided having some major changes in next version because of some new requirements:

Design System

Project evolved from a UI library to a Design System to cover more generic use-cases then some specific areas inside Trendyol.

Multi-platform

Grace V2 will be a "web component" library written with Lit. The main motivation behind this decision is that we (in Trendyol) want to use the same UI library and design guidelines in both Vue and React projects.

More open

We want to maintain Grace project with regular open-source principles, fully managed in GitHub. So contribution guidelines, documentation, release pipelines will be more transparent and clear.

Accessibility in mind

One of the main purposes of Baklava Design System is to provide fully accessible UI elements. This will help to improve A11y all of our projects in Trendyol without repeating work.

Heavily automated

We'll focus on automating releases, tests, documentation generation, PR workflows, and so on, so we'll allow getting more contributions without blocking anyone because of a lack of human resources.

Plan

We are using next branch for the development of version 2. We'll fully re-write components with a refreshed design in this branch, then we'll release the first stable release of V2. On the road, we'll be able to start using alpha/beta releases.

After creating core parts of the new version, we'll expect contributions to finish implementing all of the needed components in the new version.

We'll publish the library to CDN(s) as well as the NPM registry. We plan to promote consuming Grace V2 via CDN since this will give so much benefit for our users to cache the library on the browser.

Tasks

Here is the list of tasks that needs to be done for having the first stable release of V2.

You are very welcome to be part of this initiative. You can pick some tasks from the list and create a PR request by starting and targeting next branch. Please don't miss to check our new Contribution Guideline.
