Release

In this repository we follow the Conventional Commits Specification and we use standard-version to update the CHANGELOG.md when publishing a new version of the package to NPM.

Standard-version automatically detects the type of the update (patch, minor or major) following the Semantic Versioning specification.

Publish a new version on NPM registry

• Make sure you are logged in NPM
• Make sure you built the components with yarn build
• Run standard-version:

yarn release

Specify a version

If you want to select a version or the update type, you can use the --release-as flag:

yarn release --release-as minor
yarn release --release-as 1.1.0

In general, you can pass any flag supported by standard-version, please refer to their CLI usage documentation.

Publish the new release on GitHub

You need to manually create the GitHub release in order to update the Storybook documentation.

Usage

CSS Custom Properties

The library provides a global css variables export. You can import the styles by ES6 import:

import "@zanichelli/albe-web-components/www/build/web-components-library.css";

or via link tag:

// using jsDelivr
<link
  type="text/css"
  rel="stylesheet"
  href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@zanichelli/albe-web-components/www/build/web-components-library.css"
/>

// using unpkg
<link
  type="text/css"
  rel="stylesheet"
  href="https://unpkg.com/@zanichelli/albe-web-components/www/build/web-components-library.css"
/>

Custom Elements

You can use the library by importing the custom elements from npm package:

import {defineCustomElements} from "@zanichelli/albe-web-components/loader";

defineCustomElements(window);

or via a script tag:

// using jsDelivr
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@zanichelli/albe-web-components/dist/web-components-library/web-components-library.esm.js"></script>

// using unpkg
<script src="https://unpkg.com/@zanichelli/albe-web-components/dist/web-components-library/web-components-library.esm.js"></script>

Then use the relative tag as a usual component in your markup.

<section>
  <z-button variant="primary">Click me!</z-button>
</section>

Using React bindings

Albe's Web Components come with automatically generated React bindings. This means that you can use Web Components in a React application without the need to wrap component references, with full intellisense support thanks to TypeScript definition files for bindings.

Import components reference from the React submodule:

import React from "react";
import ReactDOM from "react-dom";
import "@zanichelli/albe-web-components/www/build/web-components-library.css";
import {defineCustomElements} from "@zanichelli/albe-web-components/loader";
import {ZButton} from "@zanichelli/albe-web-components/react";

defineCustomElements(window);

ReactDOM.render(<ZButton>Click me</ZButton>, document.getElementById("root"));

Component definition

Each component is structured as follows:

File name	Description
index.tsx	Markup and UI logics
styles.css	Styles
index.spec.ts	Tests
index.mdx	Storybook's markdown
index.stories.ts	Storybook's CSF stories
readme.md	Auto-generated documentation
