What is Palette?

Palette is a collection of primitive, product-agnostic elements that help encapsulate Artsy's look and feel at base level. This project is intended to be used across our digital product portfolio.

Does my component belong in Palette?

If the component applies to Artsy as a brand and can/will be used across multiple digital products, then Palette is a great place for it. If it's highly product specific then it's best to leave the component where it's used. We can always move things later!

How to contribute

If you'd like to add a new component to Palette please raise the need in our #design-system Slack channel.

Local development

In the project root run the following:

$ lerna bootstrap
$ yarn storybook

This will compile Palette and boot Storybooks, our default development environment. New components require stories.

Other relevant commands are:

$ yarn test
$ yarn type-check

Developing Features using Local Versions of Palette

When developing new components in Palette, it's often useful to test those components in consuming apps (such as Force). However, due to the poor support for symlinks, this can be difficult. Enter yalc. Yalc is a mini package manager that one can publish to and install from, which makes it easy to test code in realtime from outside of your app.

Note: @artsy/palette uses Storybooks for developing features; work there first! Then, when ready (and if necessary), test your code locally using the flow described below. You can also publish npm canary releases from the palette repo by attaching a canary label to your PR.

Setup

  • Install yalc globally:
yarn global add yalc
  • Navigate to palette in the terminal and start the watcher:
cd palette/packages/palette
yarn local-palette-dev
  • Navigate back to Force and link:
cd force
yarn local-palette-dev
yarn start

This will update package.json to point at the yalc-published version of palette.

  • When done developing your local palette feature, be sure to unlink:
yarn local-palette-dev:stop

For more info, check out our development guide in the docs.

Deployment process

Commits and Deployments

Palette uses auto-release to automatically release on every PR. Every PR should have a label that matches one of the following

  • Version: Trivial
  • Version: Patch
  • Version: Minor
  • Version: Major
  • Canary

Major, minor, and patch will cause a new release to be generated. Use major for breaking changes, minor for new non-breaking features, and patch for bug fixes. Trivial will not cause a release and should be used when updating documentation or non-project code.

If you don't want to release on a particular PR but the changes aren't trivial then use the Skip Release tag along side the appropriate version tag.

Canary tags will publish a canary version to NPM which can be used to test work in progress. See the CircleCI job for the exact version published and update your consuming app accordingly.
