Vue 3

• Vue 2 support will end on Dec 31, 2023. Learn more.
• Upgrading from Vue 2? Check out the Migration Guide.
• Vue 2 components can be found on the vue2 branch

Vue 3 components for Carbon 10 have reached parity with the Vue 2 components. More work is needed especially around accessibility. If you want to improve Vue 3 components follow these guidelines.

• Fork this repo and checkout the main branch
• Look to see which components are currently being improved. You can do this by looking in the issues list.
• If you want to improve a component, look in the open issue list to see if someone else might already be working on it. Look for issues with a "V3 - Vue3" label and the name of the component. For example "CvDatePicker - improving accessibility".
• If no one else is already working on it, create an issue using the "🍪 Vue 3 - improve component" and label it as above.
  • Work on the component and create a PR when you are ready.
  • Components are expected to be implemented as single file components using the Vue composition api. See CvCheckbox as an example. The Vue 2 components use the options API.
  • You should reference the DOM in the React components storybook and be sure to include any accessibility improvements that might be there.
  • You should update the story and test cases for the component if applicable. Sometimes the story might need updating almost always the test cases for the component will need updates.
  • If you have question tag @davidnixon in your issue and let me know how I can help.

Building and publishing

The following steps will build and publish the packages:

• clone or download the repo;
• run yarn to install dependencies and bootstrap the packages;
• run yarn build to build all the packages including the storybook;

If you just want to build an individual package you can limit the scope: yarn build --scope @carbon/vue yarn build --scope storybook

To start the storybook in a local server use yarn start.

Test publish

To test publishing to a npm registry:

cd local-dev
docker-compose up
# open a new terminal
yarn build
npm add-user --registry http://0.0.0.0:4873/
# any username, password, & email will work
# try: carbon, vue, & [e-mail]
yarn test:publish
# maybe change some things and try again
yarn build
yarn test:unpublish
yarn test:publish

How to run the storybook

Just follow the steps listed below and you will be able to run the storybook.

• After the checkout to the vNext branch, in order to install the dependencies run the command yarn install on the root;
• Now, run the command cd storybook to enter the storybook folder, then again run the command yarn install to install the dependencies inside the storybook folder;
• Finally, run the command yarn serve inside the storybook folder.

In other words, these are the commands you're going to use in order of execution:

yarn install
cd storybook
yarn serve

or

yarn install
yarn serve:storybook
