## What is the current behavior?

Documentation files with information on how to contribute, component
implementations, testing, etc. are scattered throughout various folders
in this repository.

## What is the new behavior?

Consolidates the documentation files into a root `docs/` directory for
easier discovery and organization.

`/docs` tree:

**Migrates the following:**

**Adds the following:**

| ----------------------------- |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| `docs/sass-guidelines.md` | Sass Variable guidelines taken from
`ionic-framework-design-documents` |
| `docs/README.md` | Entry file that should link to all other files |
| `docs/_config.yml` | Config file for use with GitHub pages |
| `docs/core/README.md` | Description of core, links to contributing and
testing |
| `docs/angular/README.md` | Description of angular, links to

| `docs/react/README.md` | Description of react, links to contributing

| `docs/react-router/README.md` | Description of react-router, links to
contributing and testing |
| `docs/vue/README.md` | Description of vue, links to contributing and
testing |
| `docs/vue-router/README.md` | Description of vue-router, links to
contributing and testing |
| `docs/vue-router/testing.md` | Testing file for vue-router, populated
from vue-router's main README |

**Does not** add any files for `angular-server`. This is because the
README is essentially empty and there is no testing in that directory. I
can add blank files if we want to have something to add to later.

**Does not** migrate the content of the packages' root `README.md`
files. These files are used for their npm package descriptions so we
should not edit them.

## Hosting Documentation

We can (and should) host these files using GitHub Pages. I have
duplicated them in a personal repository to see how this would look:
[docs-consolidation](https://brandyscarney.github.io/docs-consolidation/).

Doing so will require some formatting fixes (see [Sass
Guidelines](https://brandyscarney.github.io/docs-consolidation/sass-guidelines.html#-reusable-values))
so I did not publish them now but we can easily enable GitHub pages by
toggling a setting in this repository.

## Other information

- Verify that no documentation files were missed in the migration
- You can use these commands to search for `*.md` files in a directory:
    - `find core/src -type f -name "*.md" -print`
- `find packages/angular -type f -name "*.md" -not -path
"**/node_modules/*" -print`
- I did add some redirect links in some of the existing markdown files
so they might still exist for that reason
- We should probably break up the contributing + component guide
documentation into smaller files, such as including best practices, but
I wanted to get everything in the same place first
- The contributing has sections on each of the packages that we could
move to that package's docs folder:
https://github.com/ionic-team/ionic-framework/blob/main/.github/CONTRIBUTING.md#core

## Build
# Core Scripts

### 1. Clone ionic

git@github.com:ionic-team/ionic.git
cd ionic

### 2. Run `npm install`

cd core
npm install


Notice that `@ionic/core` lives in `core`.

### 3. Run `npm start`

Make sure you are inside the `core` directory.

npm start

With the `dev` command, Ionic components will be built with [Stencil](https://stenciljs.com/), changes to source files are watched, a local http server will startup, and http://localhost:3333/ will open in a browser.

### 4. Preview

Navigate to http://localhost:3333/src/components/. Each component has small e2e apps found in the `test` directory, for example: http://localhost:3333/src/components/button/test/basic

As changes are made in an editor to source files, the e2e app will live-reload.

## How to contribute

1. `npm start` allows you to modify the components and have live reloading, just like another ionic app.

2. When everything looks good, run `npm run validate` to verify the tests linter and production build passes.


# Deploy

1. `npm run prepare.deploy`
2. Review/update changelog
3. Commit updates using the package name and version number as the commit message.
4. `npm run deploy`

## What is Ionic Framework?

Ionic Framework is an open source app development toolkit for building modern, fast, top-quality cross-platform native and Progressive Web Apps from a single codebase with JavaScript and the Web.

It is based on <a href="https://www.webcomponents.org/introduction">Web Components</a>, which enables significant performance, usability, and feature improvements alongside support for popular web frameworks like <a href="https://angular.io/">Angular</a>, <a href="https://reactjs.com/">React</a>, and <a href="https://vuejs.org/">Vue</a>.

# Angular Testing

Ionic Framework supports multiple versions of Angular. As a result, we need to verify that Ionic works correctly with each of these Angular versions.

## Syncing Local Changes

The Angular test app supports syncing your locally built changes for validation.

1. Build the `core` and `packages/angular` directories using `npm run build`.
2. [Build the Angular test app](#test-app-build-structure).
3. Navigate to the built test app directory (e.g. `packages/angular/test/build/ng14`).
4. Install dependencies using `npm install`.
5. Sync your local changes using `npm run sync`.

From here you can either build the application or start a local dev server. When re-syncing changes, you will need to [wipe or disable the application cache](#application-cache).

## Application Cache

Angular CLI creates a cache of several files on disk by default in the `.angular` directory. This decreases the time taken to build the test application. However, the cache makes it difficult to quickly sync and check local changes of Ionic. As a result, the `.angular` cache is disabled by default in the test app projects.

See https://angular.io/cli/cache for more information.

### Disable Cache

```shell
ng cache disable
```

> [!NOTE]
> You may need to manually remove the `.angular` directory once after running this command.
### Enable Cache

```shell
ng cache enable
```

> [!NOTE]
> You will need to delete the `.angular` cache and restart the dev server every time you want to sync local changes of Ionic.
## Test App Build Structure

> [!NOTE]
> Please confirm your current directory as `packages/angular/test` before proceeding with any of the following commands.
Unlike other test applications, these test apps are broken up into multiple directories. These directories are then combined to create a single application. This allows us to share common application code, tests, etc so that each app is being tested the same way. Below details the different pieces that help create a single test application.

**apps** - This directory contains partial applications for each version of Angular we want to test. Typically these directories contain new `package.json` files, `angular.json` files, and more. If you have code that is specific to a particular version of Angular, put it in this directory.

**base** - This directory contains the base application that each test app will use. This is where tests, application logic, and more live. If you have code that needs to be run on every test app, put it in this directory.

**build** - When the `apps` and `base` directories are merged, the final result is put in this directory. The `build` directory should never be committed to git.

**build.sh** - This is the script that merges the `apps` and `base` directories and places the built application in the `build` directory.

Usage:

```shell
# Build a test app using apps/ng14 as a reference
./build.sh ng14
```

## How to modify test apps

To add new tests, components, or pages, modify the `base` project. This ensures that tests are run for every tested version.

If you want to add a version-specific change, add the change inside of the appropriate projects in `apps`. Be sure to replicate the directory structure. For example, if you are adding a new E2E test file called `test.spec.ts` in `apps/ng14`, make sure you place the file in `apps/ng14/e2e/src/test.spec.ts`.

### Version-specific tests

If you need to add E2E tests that are only run on a specific version of the JS Framework, replicate the `VersionTest` component on each partial application. This ensures that tests for framework version X do not get run for framework version Y.

### Testing Lazy Loaded Ionic Components

Tests for lazy loaded Ionic UI components should only be added under the `/lazy` route. This ensures the `IonicModule` is added.

### Testing Standalone Ionic Components

Tests for standalone Ionic UI components should only be added under the `/standalone` route. This allows for an isolated environment where the lazy loaded `IonicModule` is not initialized. The standalone components use Stencil's custom element bundle instead of the lazy loaded bundle. If `IonicModule` is initialized then the Stencil components will fall back to using the lazy loaded implementation instead of the custom elements bundle implementation.

## Adding New Test Apps

As we add support for new versions of Angular, we will also need to update this directory to test against new applications. The following steps can serve as a guide for adding new apps:

1. Navigate to the built app for the most recent version of Angular that Ionic tests.
2. Update the application by following the steps on https://update.angular.io/.
3. Make note of any files that changed during the upgrade (`package.json`, `package-lock.json`, `angular.json`, etc).
4. Copy the changed files to a new directory in `apps`.
5. Add a new entry to the matrix for `test-core-angular` in `./github/workflows/build.yml`. This will allow the new test app to run against all PRs.
6. Commit these changes and push.

Example:

In this example, we are going to add the Angular 14 test app.

1. Build the Angular 13 test app using `./build.sh ng13`.
2. Navigate to `build/ng13`.
3. Perform the upgrade steps on https://update.angular.io/. The "From" field should say "13.0" and the "To" field should say "14.0".

Note: You may encounter some other peer dependency issues not covered by the Angular Upgrade Guide. These peer dependency issues can be resolved manually by updating the installed version of each dependency.

4. Observe that the output of the Angular upgrade indicates that the following files were modified:

`angular.json`
`package-lock.json`
`package.json`
`tsconfig.json`
`src/app/form/form.component.ts`
`src/app/modal-example/modal-example.component.ts`

5. Create a directory in `apps` named `ng14`.
6. Copy the modified files to the `apps/ng14` directory.
7. Open `./github/workflows/build.yml` and find the `test-angular-e2e` job.
8. Find the `apps` field under `matrix`.
9. Add "ng14" to the `apps` field.
10. Open `./github/workflows/stencil-nightly.yml` and find the `test-angular-e2e` job.
11. Repeat steps 8 and 9.
12. Commit these changes and push.
