Adding Lux to an application or website

Instructions for adding lux

Project setup

npm install

Serve the styleguide documentation locally

npm run styleguide

Running tests

• Run all tests with npm run test
• Run a single test file with npx jest tests/unit/specs/components/luxGridItem.spec.js
• Run a single test with the name of the test from the it() call: npx jest -t "should have the appropriate class to define the columns"

Release a new version

This requires you to have an account on npm with 2fa enabled. You will also need to be part of the PULibrary organization on npm.

npm login
npm install --global np@9.2.0 # don't add this as a devDependency, otherwise you won't be able to push to npm
npm run release

Tips

• If you have a passphrase on your ssh key, run ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_ed25519 (or wherever your key is located).
• If you use a security key, rather than an authenticator app, for two-factor authentication in npmjs.com, make sure that "Require two-factor authentication for write actions" is not checked in your account 2FA settings.
  • Go to:Account -> Manage Two-Factor Authentication -> Uncheck 'Additional Options' -> Update Preferences. If it is checked, np will ask you for an OTP from your phone, and won't allow you to push without it.

Deploy the styleguide to GitHub Pages

npm run deploy

This will update the docs at https://pulibrary.github.io/lux-design-system/. Please note: For informational purposes only. Don't do this outside of a release!

Linting

We are using the eslint_plugin-prettier to lint our files. To adjust the lint format settings, please use the .prettierrc file. Code linting rules should be set in eslintrc.js.

Customize configuration

See Configuration Reference.

Using a local copy of lux-design-system in your project

1. yarn global add yalc (yalc has to be installed globally, it doesn't work as part of the package.json)
2. In lux-design-system run: npm run build && yarn exec yalc publish
   You should see a note that it's published in store
3. In the application where lux-design-system is installed,
   run: yarn exec yalc add lux-design-system
4. Sometimes, your application's vite will have cached the old version. If you are not seeing your changes, in your application directory run:

• bundle exec vite clobber for ruby projects
• yarn dev --force for Vue projects
