Thank you for your interest in helping to improve plate
! As a community-led project, we wholeheartedly welcome all kinds of contributions. This includes everything from participating in discussions and improving documentation, to fixing bugs and enhancing features.
This document will provide guidance to help streamline the process and make efficient use of everyone's valuable time.
This repository is a monorepo.
- We use yarn and
workspaces
for development. - We use tsup as our build system.
- We use changesets for managing releases.
This repository is structured as follows:
apps
└── www
├── content
└── src
└── app
├── components
└── registry
└── default
├── example
└── plate-ui
packages
└── core
Path | Description |
---|---|
apps/www/content |
The content for the website. |
apps/www/src/app |
The Next.js application for the website. |
apps/www/src/components |
The React components for the website. |
apps/www/src/registry |
The registry for the components. |
packages/core |
The @udecode/plate-core package. |
git clone git@github.com:udecode/plate.git
yarn install
yarn build
You can use the turbo --filter=[WORKSPACE]
command to start the development process for a workspace.
- To run the
platejs.org
website:
turbo --filter=www dev
- To build the
@udecode/plate-core
package:
turbo --filter=@udecode/plate-core build
The documentation for this project is located in the www
workspace. After running yarn build
, you can run the documentation locally by running the following command:
yarn dev
Documentation is written using MDX. You can find the documentation files in the apps/www/content/docs
directory.
Re-run the following commands on each package update:
turbo --filter=[PACKAGE] build
yarn dev
We use a registry system for developing components. You can find the source code for the components under apps/www/src/registry
. The components are organized by styles.
apps
└── www
└── registry
├── default
│ ├── example
│ └── plate-ui
When adding or modifying components, please ensure that you update the documentation.
The shadcx
package is a CLI for adding components to your project. You can find the documentation for the CLI here.
Any changes to the CLI should be made in the packages/plate-ui
directory. If you can, it would be great if you could add tests for your changes.
We use ESLint as our code linter. To run the linter, use the following command:
yarn lint
# autofix with:
yarn lint:fix
Tests are written using Jest. You can run all the tests from the root of the repository.
yarn test
There are various modes available for running tests, including --watch
, --coverage
, and --runInBand
. These can be selected from the command line interface or passed to yarn test
as specific parameters.
Please ensure that the tests are passing when submitting a pull request. If you're adding new features, please include tests.
We use Playwright for our end-to-end (e2e) tests in headless browsers.
To install Playwright's browsers and dependencies, use:
yarn playwright install # first time
To run all tests:
yarn e2e
For those wanting a release, follow this sequence:
- Commit your changes:
- Run
yarn brl
to synchronize the exports and automatically update the index files. - Make sure lint, test, and build pass.
- Run
- Open a PR against
main
and add a changeset. - Merge the PR, which will trigger the bot to create a PR release.
- Review the final changesets.
- Merge the PR release, and the bot will release the updated packages on npm.
If you have a request for a new feature, please open a discussion on GitHub. We'll be happy to help you out.
No software is without bugs. If you encounter a problem, please follow these steps:
- Look through our issue list to see if the issue already exists.
- If you find an existing issue that matches yours, please give it a "thumbs-up reaction". This helps us prioritize which issues to address first!
- If you can't find a match, feel free to create a new issue.
The best way to help us understand and fix your issue is to provide a minimal reproduction of the problem. You can do this using our CodeSandbox.
The Q&A is a great place to help. If you can answer a question, it will benefit the asker and others who have a similar question. If an issue needs reproduction, you may be able to guide the reporter toward one, or even reproduce it yourself using this technique.
Once you've helped out on a few issues, you can help label issues and respond to reporters. We use a label scheme to categorize issues:
- type -
bug
,feature
,dependencies
,maintenance
. - area -
plugin:x
,plugin:list
,plugin:common
,ui
, etc. - status -
needs reproduction
, etc.
All issues should have a type
label. dependencies
is for keeping package dependencies up to date and maintenance
is a catch-all for any kind of cleanup or refactoring. They should also have one or more area
/status
labels. We use these labels to filter issues down so we can see all of the issues for a particular area and keep the total number of open issues under control. For more info see searching issues in the GitHub docs.
If an issue is a bug
, and it doesn't have a clear reproduction that you have personally confirmed, label it needs reproduction
and ask the author to try and create a reproduction, or have a go yourself.
- Duplicate issues should be closed with a link to the original.
- Unreproducible issues should be closed if it's not possible to reproduce them. If the reporter drops offline, it is reasonable to wait 2 weeks before closing.
- **
bug
**s should be closed when the issue is fixed and released. - **
feature
**s, **maintenance
**s, should be closed when released or if the feature is deemed not appropriate.
We welcome all contributions and there are many ways you can help. Before you submit a new PR, please run build, lint and test. Do not submit a PR if tests are failing. If you need help, the best way is to join Plate's Discord and ask in the #contributing channel.
You miss time/knowledge but still want to contribute? Just open a PR or a gist on Discord and we'll try to help.
As a PR submitter, you should reference the issue if there is one, include a short description of what you contributed, and provide instructions for manual testing if it is a code change. If your PR is reviewed as only needing trivial changes and you have commit access, then you can merge the PR after making those changes.
As a PR reviewer, read through the changes and comment on any potential problems. Also, follow the testing instructions and manually test the changes. If the instructions are missing, unclear, or overly complex, request better instructions from the submitter. Unless the PR is a draft, if you approve the review and there are no other required discussions or changes, you should also go ahead and merge the PR.
- Create your component in
apps/www/src/registry/default/plate-ui
- Add your component to
apps/www/src/registry/registry.ts
- Run
yarn build:registry
To try installing your component locally:
cd templates/plate-playground
yarn g:plate-ui add <component-name>
Adding a new value? Here's the process:
- Create the value in
/apps/www/src/lib/plate/demo/values
- Add your value to
/apps/www/src/config/setting-values.ts
- Add your value to
/apps/www/src/lib/plate/demo/values/usePlaygroundValue.ts
Creating a new plugin?
- Add your plugin to
/apps/www/src/config/setting-plugins.ts
- Add your plugin to
/apps/www/src/registry/default/example/playground-demo.tsx
Creating a new document?
- Create a new mdx file in
/apps/www/content/docs
- Add the new document to
/apps/www/src/config/docs.ts
Use the command below and follow the prompts to create a new package:
yarn gen:package
After creating your package, install and build it:
yarn install
yarn build
The main bundle is client-side and is not tested in server environments. In general, a server bundle is necessary when the package has usages depending on slate-react
or React. In that case, here is how to create a server bundle:
- Move all files with server support to
/src/shared
- Move all files without server support to
/src/client
- Create a new entry file in
/src/server.ts
, export with the following:
export * from './shared/index';
export * from './server/index'; // If needed
- (Optional) If needed, create server-side versions in
/src/server/
. For example,withReact
in/src/server/withReact
is a server-side version of/src/client/withReact
- Run
yarn brl
to synchronize the exports - Update
