Takeoff 🚀

Headless Component Library

Takeoff is a set of reusable, portable components.

Installing

To install Takeoff and all of its components, simply run

$ yarn add @onesneakymofo/test-system @emotion/react@^11 @emotion/styled@^11 twin.macro

Or if you want to install just a single component, run

$ yarn add @onesneakymofo/test-button @emotion/react@^11 @emotion/styled@^11 twin.macro

About

Takeoff is a multi-package (monorepo) library. Its infrastructure is primarily composed from preconstruct and yarn workspaces for packaging, changesets for changelog creation, and tailwind, emotion and twin.macro for component design.

Packaging

Using preconstruct and yarn worksapces, we are able to write a top-level package.json that holds two pieces of configuration which converts the library to a multi-package library:

// package.json
{
  ...
  "workspaces": {
    "packages": [
      "packages/*"
    ]
  },
  ...
  "preconstruct": {
    "packages": [
      "packages/*"
    ]
  },
  ...
}

This gives us the ability to write individual packages underneath our /packages folder. Running a few simple commands keeps everything nice and tidy for publishing. To learn more, please visit https://preconstruct.tools/

Changelogs and versioning

Changesets gives us the ability to maintain versioning through all of the packages that we create and update. It even knows to update the test-system package.json once you change an individual package. To learn more, please visit https://github.com/changesets/changesets

Component Design

Tailwind, emotion, and twin.macro are at the heart of our components. To learn more, please visit https://tailwindcss.com/, https://emotion.sh/docs/styled, and https://github.com/ben-rogerson/twin.macro

Writing a new component

To write a new component, create a folder under /packages. Let's use ProgressBar as an example. You're going to need to create a new folder called ProgressBar and run yarn init. Make sure the name is @onesneakymofo/test-progress-bar, index.js is your entry point, and version is 0.0.0:

$ cd packages
$ mkdir ProgressBar
$ cd ProgressBar
$ yarn init
> question name (ProgressBar): @onesneakymofo/test-progress-bar
> question version (1.0.0): 0.0.0
> question description: Progress Bar
> question entry point (index.js):
> question repository url:
> question author: Chris Autwell
> question license (MIT):
> question private:

At this point, walk through the steps that are provided - make sure to set your version to 0.0.0. Next, you will need to do some setup to get ready for package building

touch index.js
mkdir src
cd src
touch index.js

You should now have enough in place to run preconstruct:

preconstruct fix && preconstruct dev

Lastly, under src/index.js, you will need to export / import for bubbling:

import { ProgressBar } from './ProgressBar';

export { ProgressBar };

Once done, you can add the code necessary to create a ProgressBar component under src/ProgressBar.js

The last piece of the puzzle is to add your new package to the test-system package. Open ./packages/System/src/index.js and add your new package:

export * from "@onesneakymofo/test-progress-bar";

Creating a Changeset

After you have created or updated a component, you will need need to add a changelog.

$ yarn changeset
🦋  Which packages would you like to include? …
✔ changed packages
  ✔ @onesneakymofo/test-badge
  ✔ @onesneakymofo/test-button
  ✔ @onesneakymofo/test-load-spinner
  ✔ @onesneakymofo/test-system
✔ unchanged packages
  ✔ @onesneakymofo/test-progress-bar

Following our ProgressBar example in creating a component, select both @onesneakymofo/test-system and @onesneakymofo/test-progress-bar using your arrow keys and hitting spacebar. The checkmark will turn green meaning you selected it. Hit enter to continue

At this point, changeset will ask you if this was a major, minor, or patch release. Skip both major and minor by hitting enter.

🦋  Which packages should have a major bump? · No items were selected
🦋  Which packages should have a minor bump? · No items were selected
🦋  The following packages will be patch bumped:
🦋  @onesneakymofo/test-system@0.0.2, @onesneakymofo/test-progress-bar@0.0.0

This will automatically select a patch release for you where you will be prompted to type a Summary. Type Created ProgressBar component. :

🦋  Please enter a summary for this change (this will be in the changelogs). Submit empty line to open external editor
🦋  Summary › Created ProgressBar component

changeset will then finally give you a "Are you sure prompt?"

🦋  === Releasing the following packages ===
🦋  [Patch]
🦋    @onesneakymofo/test-system
🦋    @onesneakymofo/test-progress-bar
🦋  ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
🦋  ║                                                      ========= NOTE ========                                                       ║
🦋  ║All dependents of these packages that will be incompatible with the new version will be patch bumped when this changeset is applied.║
🦋  ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
🦋  Is this your desired changeset? (Y/n) › true

Hit enter to continue. Now we have all of the steps necessary to publishing our package to npm.

You can individually write changesets instead of lumping if you prefer as well. See https://github.com/changesets/changesets for more information.

Publishing a package

Once a package has been created or updated and it has a changeset, a Github action will detect the changeset and update the version accordingly.

Once the changeset has been updated, a new pull request will be created called Version Packages. Once this pull request is merged, it will automatically publish your new created or recently updated component to https://www.npmjs.com/package/@onesneakymofo

Once your package has been published, you can freely use it wherever you want.
