vue-dummy-published-component

This is a sample boilerplate repo for a Vue component that you intend to publish to the NPM registry. It is based on the Packaging Vue Components for npm entry in the Vue Cookbook, and the associated vue-sfc-rollup GitHub repo.

What's Different About this Boilerplate?

This adds a few new features that you mind useful when creating a robust open-source Vue component (all of which you are welcome to change once you fork for your own purposes):

• Code linting via eslint
  • Leverages the AirBnb ESLint Config via the eslint-config-airbnb-base plugin
  • Adds eslint-plugin-vue plugin with the "recommended" settings
  • Configured via .eslintrc.js
• Unit testing via jest and @vue/test-utils
  • Configured via jest.config.js
  • Tests located in the test/unit directory
• Storybook Generation
  • Configured via .storybook
  • Stories located in the stories directory
• End-to-End tests with cypress that run on top of your generated Storybook
  • This is a pattern I haven't seen before that makes a lot of sense to me. Storybook is intended to show off the various usages of your components - so why not write integration tests to ensure those usages are working as expected?
  • Configured in cypress.json
  • Tests located in the tests/e2e directory
• Precommit hook using husky to lint and test the component

Getting Started

To get started with your own publishable component, I would start by copying it to your own new repo and then there's a few changes to make as well as some things to add that have been intentionally left out.

Things to Change

• Update all relevant package.json fields (name, author, repository, etc.)
• Modify the exported component name in rollup.config.js
• Write your component, Unit tests, Stories, and E2E Tests!
• Update the LICENSE.md file with the proper license and attribution

Things to Add

• Add some docs for how users can file issues and contribute back to your open-source components. Check out the Mozilla Science Lab Post for ideas and examples
• Don't forget to host your Storybook somewhere so users can access it. GitHub Pages is one potential solution.

Usage

# Build the component into dist/
npm run build

# Run unit tests
npm run test:unit

# Run Storybook
npm run storybook

# Build storybook into storybook-static/
npm run storybook:build

# Run E2E Tests against built Storybook
npm run test:e2e
