## Shoemakers 🥾
|
|
|
|
Shoemakers, or "Shoelace developers," can use this documentation to learn how to build Shoelace from source. You will need Node >= 14.17 to build and run the project locally.
|
|
|
|
**You don't need to do any of this to use Shoelace!** This page is for people who want to contribute to the project, tinker with the source, or create a custom build of Shoelace.
|
|
|
|
If that's not what you're trying to do, the [documentation website](https://shoelace.style) is where you want to be.
|
|
|
|
### What are you using to build Shoelace?
|
|
|
|
Components are built with [LitElement](https://lit-element.polymer-project.org/), a custom elements base class that provides an intuitive API and reactive data binding. The build is a custom script with bundling powered by [esbuild](https://esbuild.github.io/).
|
|
|
|
### Forking the Repo
|
|
|
|
Start by [forking the repo](https://github.com/shoelace-style/shoelace/fork) on GitHub, then clone it locally and install dependencies.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone https://github.com/YOUR_GITHUB_USERNAME/shoelace
|
|
cd shoelace
|
|
npm install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Developing
|
|
|
|
Once you've cloned the repo, run the following command.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm start
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will spin up the dev server. After the initial build, a browser will open automatically. There is currently no hot module reloading (HMR), as browser's don't provide a way to reregister custom elements, but most changes to the source will reload the browser automatically.
|
|
|
|
### Building
|
|
|
|
To generate a production build, run the following command.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm run build
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Creating New Components
|
|
|
|
To scaffold a new component, run the following command, replacing `sl-tag-name` with the desired tag name.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm run create sl-tag-name
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will generate a source file, a stylesheet, and a docs page for you. When you start the dev server, you'll find the new component in the "Components" section of the sidebar.
|
|
|
|
