We use Plop to create scripts that help you to scaffold new packages. In the root of the repo, you can run npm run-script generate. Then follow the steps in the CLI. Plop will generate the relevant files and add the relevant imports and exports to the main src/index.ts file required to make the component available when publishing the library. Read more about contribution to Forma 36.

For local development, in the root of the repo run npm i to install all dependencies and then npm run-script build to build all packages. Now follow the instructions of the specific package you’re working on. You will find each package’s instructions in their README files, check the Packages section for a list of all packages.

In case you are having problems to install the dependencies, try using NVM to get the same node version we use by running nvm use in the root of the repo

We use storybook with our react component library to develop components. You can start it from the root of the repo, just run npm run-script storybook after building.

Use npm run-script commit. This uses the Commitzen CLI to create a conventional commit message based on your changes. CI is setup to release all new commits on the main branch that contains a new changeset.

You can test changes to a package of this monorepo in your own project locally by taking the following steps:

1. Run npm run-script build in the desired package's directory to ensure your latest changes have been built
2. Run npm link in the desired package's directory
3. Change to your local project's directory and run npm link NAME_OF_PACKAGE to link to the local version of the package (e.g. npm link @contentful/f36-components)

We appreciate any help on our repositories. For more details about how to contribute to a package, see the README of the corresponding package.

You can reach out to us using the Contentful Community Discord.
