How to contribute

If you want to contribute to this project, please read the contributing guidelines first.

Development

This project is built using Vue.js. The components are written in Vue and the bundling is done using Rollup. The rollup configuration is in the rollup.config.js file and the main entry point is the src/index.js file, all the components are exported from this file. The components are written in the src/components folder. Each component should be in a separate folder and should contain the .vue file and, optionally, a .scss file. In order to be used in other applications, the package should be built, which creates a dist folder with the compiled files.

The documentation is built using Material for MkDocs. The content of the documentation is written in markdown and should be added to the docs folder. The configuration of the documentation is in the mkdocs.yml file. This file contains the structure of the documentation, including navigation, the theme used, etc. More information about how to configure the documentation can be found in the documentation.

How to add a new visualization.

If you want to add a new visualization, you should create a new component for it. Follow the steps below:

• Create the new component in the src/components folder. A component can be written in only one file or, if it is complex, it can be divided into smaller components in a folder.

• Add the new component to the index.js, as following:

  import newComponent from './components/newComponent.vue'
  
  export {
      newComponent,
      ...
  }

If the new component is a complex component, it should be divided into smaller components. In this case, the index.js file should export the smaller components and the main component.

The documentation should be updated to include the new component.

How to document a new component.

To document a new component, add the new component to the documentation as a single file in the docs/components folder. Documentation is written in markdown and should contain at least the following sections:

• Description of how the data being represented.
• How to use it.
• Example of usage.
• Props and events.

How to build the package locally.

To build the package locally, run:

npm run build

This will create a dist folder with the compiled files. The component will be available for other applications running locally to use. To use the component in another application, you should link the package locally. To do so, run:

npm link

Then, in the application where you want to use the component, run:

npm link @inb/oeb_visualizations

This will link the local package to the application.

How to serve the documentation locally.

The documentation is built using mkdocs. To serve the documentation locally, run:

mkdocs serve

This will start a local server and the documentation will be available at http://localhost:8000/.
