Live Demo & Docs: https://preact-nebula-ui.netlify.app/

For detailed component documentation with usage examples, see the 📚 Component Documentation section below.

🎨 Customization & Theming

Nebula UI uses Tailwind CSS for consistent styling and easy customization:

🎯 Theme Configuration

// tailwind.config.js
module.exports = {
  theme: {
    extend: {
      colors: {
        primary: {
          50: '#eff6ff',
          500: '#3b82f6',
          900: '#1e3a8a'
        }
      }
    }
  },
  plugins: []
}

🌗 Dark Mode Support

// Automatic dark mode detection
<div className="bg-white dark:bg-gray-900">
  <Button variant="primary">
    Works in light and dark mode
  </Button>
</div>

🎨 Custom Styling

// Extend with custom classes
<Button 
  className="custom-shadow hover:scale-105 transition-transform"
  variant="primary"
>
  Custom Styled Button
</Button>

🧪 Development

Setup

git clone https://github.com/PRachwal/preact-nebula-ui.git
cd preact-nebula-ui
npm install

🔧 Development Scripts

# Start development server with component showcase
npm run dev

# Build the library for distribution
npm run build:lib

# Run comprehensive test suite
npm run test

# Generate test coverage with dashboard integration
npm run test:coverage

# Update test coverage data for dashboard
npm run update-coverage

# Type check all files
npm run type-check

# Lint code with ESLint
npm run lint

# Build and publish (dry run)
npm run publish:dry

# Smart NPM publishing with version checking
npm run publish:npm

# Simple NPM publish (legacy)
npm run publish:simple

🚀 Smart Publishing System

Nebula UI includes an intelligent publishing system that:

• ✅ Auto-checks NPM registry for version conflicts
• ✅ Suggests version bumps (patch/minor/major) when needed
• ✅ Prevents duplicate publishing of same version
• ✅ Handles 2FA authentication seamlessly 🔐
• ✅ Runs comprehensive pre-publish checks (tests, build, validation)
• ✅ Handles git tagging and commits automatically
• ✅ Interactive confirmations for safe publishing

# Use the smart publishing script (recommended)
npm run publish:npm

Example workflow:

1. Script detects local version equals NPM version
2. Suggests version bump options (patch: 1.2.1 → 1.2.2)
3. Updates package.json automatically
4. Runs tests and builds library
5. Handles NPM 2FA authentication if required 🔐
6. Publishes to NPM with confirmations
7. Creates git commit and tag

2FA Support:

• Automatically detects when NPM requires 2FA
• Prompts for authenticator code when needed
• Retries on invalid/expired codes
• Clear troubleshooting guidance

For detailed publishing guide, see Smart Publishing Guide.

🚀 Deployment Scripts

# Interactive deployment (Linux/macOS)
npm run deploy

# Dry run deployment test
npm run deploy:dry

# Windows deployment
npm run deploy:win

# Windows dry run
npm run deploy:win:dry

Windows PowerShell Scripts

For Windows users, use the PowerShell scripts in the scripts/ folder:

# Build the library
.\scripts\build.ps1

# Publish (dry run)
.\scripts\publish.ps1 -DryRun

# Publish to NPM
.\scripts\publish.ps1

Component Development Guide

When creating a new component, follow this standardized structure based on our Checkbox component example:

📁 Component Library Structure (nebula/components/ComponentName/)

ComponentName/
├── ComponentName.tsx      # Main component implementation
├── ComponentName.types.ts # TypeScript interfaces and types
├── ComponentName.test.tsx # Unit tests with comprehensive coverage
└── index.ts              # Export barrel file

Example component files:

1. ComponentName.tsx - Main component with:

   • forwardRef implementation for ref forwarding
   • Comprehensive styling system with variants, sizes, states
   • Full accessibility support (ARIA attributes, keyboard navigation)
   • Dark mode support
   • Error handling and validation states

2. ComponentName.types.ts - Type definitions:

   export interface ComponentNameProps extends HTMLAttributes<HTMLElement> {
     variant?: 'default' | 'outlined'
     size?: 'sm' | 'md' | 'lg'
     disabled?: boolean
     error?: boolean
     // ... other component-specific props
   }

3. ComponentName.test.tsx - Comprehensive tests covering:

   • Basic rendering and props
   • All variants and sizes
   • Accessibility features
   • User interactions
   • Error states
   • Edge cases

4. index.ts - Clean exports:

   export { ComponentName } from './ComponentName'
   export type { ComponentNameProps } from './ComponentName.types'

📁 Documentation Pages Structure (src/pages/componentname/)

componentname/
├── ComponentNamePage.tsx  # Main page component
├── index.ts              # Page exports
└── sections/             # Interactive examples and docs
    ├── BasicUsageSection.tsx    # Basic usage examples
    ├── VariantsSection.tsx      # All variants showcase
    ├── InteractiveSection.tsx   # Interactive playground
    ├── AccessibilitySection.tsx # Accessibility features demo
    └── index.ts                # Section exports

Page structure guidelines:

1. ComponentNamePage.tsx - Main documentation page with:

   • Component overview and description
   • Navigation tabs for different sections
   • Imports from ./sections

2. sections/ - Individual documentation sections:

   • BasicUsageSection - Simple usage examples with code
   • VariantsSection - All visual variants and sizes
   • InteractiveSection - Live playground with controls
   • AccessibilitySection - Accessibility features demonstration

🔗 Integration Steps

1. Add to main exports in nebula/components/index.ts:

   export { ComponentName } from './ComponentName'
   export type { ComponentNameProps } from './ComponentName/ComponentName.types'

2. Add page route in src/app.tsx:

   // Import
   import { ComponentNamePage } from './pages/componentname'
      
   // Add route
   <ComponentNamePage path="/componentname" />

3. Add to documentation by updating component lists and examples

4. Update test data in src/data/testResults.ts:

   // Add component to componentTestData array
   { componentName: 'ComponentName', testCount: XX, coverage: 100, status: 'passing', lastUpdated: '2025-08-04' }
      
   // Update mockTestResults.totalTests with new count
   totalTests: XXX, // Add your component's test count to total

5. Update component status in src/data/components.ts:

   // Change component status from 'planned' to 'completed' and update coverage
   { 
     name: 'ComponentName',
     status: 'completed',
     testCoverage: 100
   }

6. Update component count in README.md and component documentation

This structure ensures consistency, maintainability, and comprehensive documentation across all components.
