PatternFly Elements is a work-in-progress collection of flexible and lightweight Web Components based on the Unified Design Kit. The repo also includes a generator to build new components. PatternFly Elements are:
- Lightweight: small file size, minimal boilerplate, no "framework-like" features.
- Universal: write once, use everywhere. PatternFly Elements work in React, Vue, Angular, vanilla JS, anywhere HTML elements are used.
- Themable: Make overrides as needed via attributes or CSS variables
The result of these principles is that you can plug one set of components into a wide variety of applications; bringing UX consistency and developer familiarity to any web project.
A Yeoman generator is included for creating web components that meet these goals.
git clone git@github.com:patternfly/patternfly-elements.git
cd patternfly-elements
npm install # this will take a while due to lerna bootstrap
npm run dev -- --storybook --docs # This will build and spin up a local server with storybook preview and documentation
If you will be doing any release work, it is recommended that you install Hub.
To install on a MacOS: brew install hub.
For other systems, please see documentation: - Hub
Note: You will need to use Node v12 or higher.
Many commands have an optional argument of space-separated component name(s), if left off it will assume it should run on all components. These should run from the project root.
# Build all components
npm run build
# Build one or more components
npm run build [component-name(s)]The build command can accept a few flags; for more details, use npm run build -- --help.
# Runs server process to preview files (does not build)
npm start
# Builds, sets up the watch, and runs server process to preview files
npm run dev [component-name(s)]✨ New tests (Web Test Runner)
# Run all tests in watch mode.
npm run test:watch
# Run a single test in watch mode.
npm run test:watch --element="pfe-select"
# Or multiple:
npm run test:watch --element="{pfe-select,pfe-card}"
# Run all tests using a React wrapper in watch mode.
npm run test:watch --group="with-react"
# Run all tests using a Vue wrapper in watch mode.
npm run test:watch --group="with-vue"
# Build all elements then run all tests in "watch" mode.
npm run test:build:watch
# Build specific elements then run those tests in "watch" mode.
npm run test:build:watch --element="pfe-select"
# Or multiple:
npm run test:build:watch --element="{pfe-select,pfe-card}"
# Run all tests with and without React and Vue wrappers.
# This is run on pull request within CI.
npm run test:ciGenerate a new test file for an existing element by using:
npm run new:test -- [name-of-element]
# Example:
npm run new:test -- pfe-tabs🕸 Legacy tests (Web Component Tester)
# Build and run tests on all components
npm run test
# Build and run tests on one component
npm run test [component-name(s)]
# Run tests on one component without rebuilding
npm run test [component-name(s)] -- --nobuildThe test command can accept a flags; for more details, use npm run test -- --help.
# Open a new pull request
npm run prView the documentation locally
npm run start:docsBuild the documentation site
npm run build:docsThough we have tested and verified general usability within these frameworks, PatternFly Elements makes no guarantees about compatibility within specific sites and applications. Please test accordingly.
