Installation

To install the project, open a terminal at the root of the workspace and execute the following command:

pnpm

You must then run the following command to run the following command to build the tokens:

pnpm build:tokens

You can then run storybook to see the components in action:

pnpm storybook

Adding a new icon

  1. Add SVGs to Size-Specific Folders
  • Get the three versions (16px, 24px, 32px) of the SVG icon you want to add. Having 3 versions of the icon is mandatory.
  • Place each version in the following folders:
    • packages/svg-icons/src/icons/16px
    • packages/svg-icons/src/icons/24px
    • packages/svg-icons/src/icons/32px
  1. Test the source SVGs
  • Run the following command to test the source SVGs:
pnpm test
  • If one or more of the source SVGs fail the test, you will need to fix the SVGs before proceeding to the next step.
  1. Optimization and Generation of icons
  • To generate optimized SVGs and React components, run the following command:
pnpm generate-icons
  • This command will optimize the SVGs and create React components in the respective folders.
  • Commit the changes to the repository.
  1. Run Changeset Command
  • After manually generating the icons, run the following command to create release notes for @hopper-ui/svg-icons and @hopper-ui/icons:
pnpm changeset
  • Follow the prompts to describe the changes made and choose the appropriate version bump.
  • A template for the release notes of svg-icons and icons is available in the .changeset folder here.

5- Go update the react16 icons from this github repo

Updating or removing an icon

  • Updating or removing an icon is similar to adding a new icon. The only difference is that you will need to delete or replace the SVGs from the following folders:

    • packages/svg-icons/src/icons/16px
    • packages/svg-icons/src/icons/24px
    • packages/svg-icons/src/icons/32px

  • Steps 2-5 are the same as adding a new icon.

Developing a new component

Checklist:

  • Every component should have a GlobalCssSelector that is unique to the component. This allows the targetting of the component in the global CSS file.
export const GlobalIconCssSelector = "hop-Icon";
  • Every component should make sure to merge their props and ref with the context props and ref.
// with a default slot:
[props, ref] = useContextProps({ ...props, slot: props.slot || DefaultIconListSlot }, ref, IconListContext);

// without a default slot
[props, ref] = useContextProps(props, ref, IconListContext);
  • Every component should then remove the styling props from the props object and then add the other ones to the ownProps obj.
const { stylingProps, ...ownProps } = useStyledSystem(props);
  • You can now deconstruct the ownProps object to get the props you need.
const { children, style, className, slot, ...otherProps } = ownProps;
  • make sure to merge the classnames and styles from the props with the classnames and styles from the style system. Make sure that the style from the props have higher priority than the style from the style system.
    const classNames = clsx(
        className,
        GlobalIconCssSelector,
        cssModule(
            styles,
            "hop-icon"
        ),
        stylingProps.className
    );

    const mergedStyles: CSSProperties = {
        ...stylingProps.style,
        ...style
    };

CSS Conventions

CSS Selector naming conventions

Namespace (hop-): Acts as a unique prefix to avoid conflicts with other libraries or stylesheets and to make it clear that this class belongs to the Hopper design system. Component Name (Button): Directly reflects the React component name, making it straightforward to associate styles with their respective components. BEM-like Structure: Adopting BEM’s methodology for elements and modifiers but with your specific prefixing and naming strategy.

.namespace-ComponentName--modifier-name
.namespace-ComponentName__descendent-name
.namespace-ComponentName__descendent-name--modifier-name

CSS Variables

Namespace (hop-): Acts as a unique prefix to avoid conflicts with other libraries or stylesheets and to make it clear that this class belongs to the Hopper design system. Component Name (Button): Directly reflects the React component name, making it straightforward to associate styles with their respective components. Property Name (color): Reflects the property being defined, making it clear what the variable is for.

namespace-ComponentName--modifier-name
namespace-ComponentName__descendent-name
namespace-ComponentName__descendent-name--modifier-name

Testing accessibility with axe via Storybook

The test runner is only available locally, and it is not available in the CI/CD pipeline.

1- Open a first terminal, and run pnpm storybook-nolazy 2- Open a second terminal, and run pnpm test-storybook

Note: We need to run storybook-nolazy because the axe test runner is not compatible with the lazy loading of the stories.

Localization and Internationalization

Translation files for English (en-US.json) and Canadian French (fr-CA.json) are available in the packages/i18n/src/intl folder. These files follow the ICU Message Format standard.

To implement formatting in your components, use the useLocalizedString hook to access the formatter. Then, call the .format method to apply formatting to your strings.

const stringFormatter = useLocalizedString();

stringFormatter.format("key") // Use for simple string translations
stringFormatter.format("key", { value }) // Use when additional formatting is needed

This setup allows for seamless integration of localized content and formatting within your components.

We store all the string in a single file for now, which is not great for tree-shaking, but at the moment we expect only a few strings to be used in the library. If we see that the bundle size is too big, we can split the strings into a file per component.
