Turborepo Design System Starter

This Design System is powered by:

  • 🏎 Turborepo — High-performance build system for Monorepos
  • 🚀 React — JavaScript library for user interfaces
  • 🌈 TailwindCSS - A utility-first CSS framework
  • 🧑‍🚀 Astro - All-in-one web framework for building fast, content-focused websites

As well as a few others tools:

  • ESLint for code linting
  • Prettier for code formatting
  • Changesets for managing versioning and changelogs
  • PNPm for managing dependency packages

Installation Guide

Make sure you've got a nodejs version from .tool-versions file

git clone [email protected]:Selleo/design-system.git
cd design-system
pnpm install

Useful Commands

  • pnpm build - Build all packages
  • pnpm dev - Run all packages locally and docs
  • pnpm lint - Lint all packages
  • pnpm changeset - Generate a changeset
  • pnpm clean - Clean up all node_modules and dist folders (runs each package's clean script)

Useful extensions

Apps & Packages

This Turborepo includes the following packages and applications:

  • apps/docs: Component documentation site with Astro
  • packages/selleo-design-core: Core Preact components
  • packages/selleo-tailwind: Selleo TailwindCSS config based on Design System on Figma
  • packages/selleo-tsconfig: Shared tsconfig.jsons used throughout the Turborepo
  • packages/eslint-config-selleo: ESLint preset

Yarn Workspaces enables us to "hoist" dependencies that are shared between packages to the root package.json. This means smaller node_modules folders and a better local dev experience. To install a dependency for the entire monorepo, use the -W workspaces flag with yarn add.

This example sets up your .gitignore to exclude all generated files, other folders like node_modules used to store your dependencies.

Goals

For the v1 the goal is to create ready to copy components based on the Selleo Design System. Later on we will focus on creating a package out of it and adding necessary logic / framework integrations.

Contributions

To contribute pick any of the Issues and create a Pull Request and assign k1eu for a code review and michalgren for a design check.

Compilation

To make the core library code work across all browsers, we need to compile the raw TypeScript and React code to plain JavaScript. We can accomplish this with tsup, which uses esbuild to greatly improve performance.

Running yarn build from the root of the Turborepo will run the build command defined in each package's package.json file. Turborepo runs each build in parallel and caches & hashes the output to speed up future builds.

For selleo-core, the build command is the following:

tsup src/index.tsx --format esm,cjs --dts --external react

tsup compiles src/index.tsx, which exports all of the components in the design system, into both ES Modules and CommonJS formats as well as their TypeScript types. The package.json for selleo-core then instructs the consumer to select the correct format:

{
  "name": "@selleo/core",
  "version": "0.0.0",
  "main": "./dist/index.js",
  "module": "./dist/index.mjs",
  "types": "./dist/index.d.ts",
  "sideEffects": false,
}

Run yarn build to confirm compilation is working correctly. You should see a folder selleo-core/dist which contains the compiled output.

selleo-core
└── dist
    ├── index.d.ts  <-- Types
    ├── index.js    <-- CommonJS version
    └── index.mjs   <-- ES Modules version

Components

Each file inside of selleo-design-core/src contains a list of few variants of given type of the component inside our design system. For example:

export function ButtonSmall() {
  return <button class="flex flex-col justify-center text-sm font-extrabold text-neutral-500 min-w-[124px] min-h-[32px]">Text</button>;
}

export function Button() {
  return <button class="flex flex-col justify-center text-base font-extrabold text-neutral-500 min-w-[160px] min-h-[48px]">Text</button>;
}

To add component to the preview page it has to be imported and provided to Preview.astro component as property named component.

---
title: Button
description: Sample Button documentation
layout: ../layouts/MainLayout.astro
---

import { PrimaryButton, PrimaryButtonSmall, PrimaryOutlinedButtonSmall, PrimaryOutlinedButton, ButtonSmall, Button } from "@selleo/core/src/Button";
... import new component here ex. import { NewComponent } from "@selleo/core/src/NewComponent"
import Preview from "../components/Preview.astro";
import Description from "../components/Description.astro";

<Description>
  Below you can find a button component styled with tailwindcss.
</Description>

<Preview component={ButtonSmall} />
<Preview component={Button} />
... enter new component as Preview property ex.
<Preview component={NewComponent} />

Versioning & Publishing Packages

This example uses Changesets to manage versions, create changelogs, and publish to npm. It's preconfigured so you can start publishing packages immediately.

You'll need to create an NPM_TOKEN and GITHUB_TOKEN and add it to your GitHub repository settings to enable access to npm. It's also worth installing the Changesets bot on your repository.

Generating the Changelog

To generate your changelog, run yarn changeset locally:

  1. Which packages would you like to include? – This shows which packages and changed and which have remained the same. By default, no packages are included. Press space to select the packages you want to include in the changeset.
  2. Which packages should have a major bump? – Press space to select the packages you want to bump versions for.
  3. If doing the first major version, confirm you want to release.
  4. Write a summary for the changes.
  5. Confirm the changeset looks as expected.
  6. A new Markdown file will be created in the changeset folder with the summary and a list of the packages included.

Releasing

When you push your code to GitHub, the GitHub Action will run the release script defined in the root package.json:

turbo run build --filter=docs^... && changeset publish

Turborepo runs the build script for all publishable packages (excluding docs) and publishes the packages to npm. By default, this example includes selleo as the npm organization. To change this, do the following:

  • Rename folders in packages/* to replace selleo with your desired scope
  • Search and replace selleo with your desired scope
  • Re-run yarn install

To publish packages to a private npm organization scope, remove the following from each of the package.json's

- "publishConfig": {
-  "access": "public"
- },
