Submitting a pull request

Fork and clone the repository.
Configure and install the dependencies: npm install.
npm run prod
Run development: npm run dev. This step will install a temporary local vue-data-ui
Create a new branch: git checkout -b my-branch-name.
Make your change, add tests, and make sure the tests still pass by running npm run prod.
Push to your fork and submit a pull request.

Here are a few things you can do that will increase the likelihood of your pull request being accepted:

Write and update tests.
Keep your changes as focused as possible. If there are multiple changes you would like to make that are not dependent upon each other, consider submitting them as separate pull requests.
Write a good commit message

Commit messages examples

"Fix - {component name} - {description of the fix}"
"New feature - {component name} - {description of the feature}"

Work in Progress pull requests are also welcome to get feedback early on, or if there is something blocked you.

Adding new features

Configuration

All components of the library use a configuration object holding default values, allowing the user to provide the config prop with only the attributes they need to tweak.

If a feature requires additional default configuration:

update the useConfig.js file
update the types in vue-data-ui.d.ts file
update the testing arena with the new config items

Adding slots, emits, exposed methods

When adding features involving slots, emits or exposed methods, please update the README file under the components section.

Updating the vue-data-ui universal component

The VueDataUi universal component can be the sole component imported by users. It will async import the selected component, making a lighter use of the library.

If a feature added in a component requires the addition of a new emit or a new exposed method, they need to be referenced in the vue-data-ui.vue component.

Updating the testing arena

The testing arena provides a quick way to visually test changes made on components, and toggle inputs to test configs. npm run dev starts the dev server and serves a page where components are listed (App.vue).

The page shows either 4 or 5 versions of the tested component:

responsive version (if applicable) in a resizable container
local component
local VueDataUi component
build component
build VueDataUi component

All versions 2 to 5 must be identical after running npm run prod then npm run dev

The testing arena is pretty raw in terms of layout. Feel free to make it better ;)

Tests

Unit tests (Vitest)
- npm run test to run, add -w flag to watch
Component tests (Cypress, Component testing)
- npm run test:e2e to open Cypress
