How do I add a library/framework to the project?

Step 1. Copy an existing example

Tests for each library/framework live in the libraries/ directory. The easiest
way to start is by copying the test directory from a project that is similar to
your own. For example, if the library you use is similar to React/Preact, you
might start by copying and renaming the libraries/preact directory.

Your library structure should look like this:

├── .babelrc
├── karma.conf.js
├── meta
│   ├── issues.json
│   └── summary.md
├── package-lock.json
├── package.json
├── src
│   ├── advanced-tests.js
|   ├── basic-tests.js
│   └── components.js
└── tests.webpack.js

package.json

Your package.json should contain build and test npm scripts.
The test script is in charge of actually running karma.
The test script should set a variable, LIBRARY_NAME, that corresponds to
your library’s npm package name. This is used during the build process to
grab the library’s semver and publish it on the site.

Example:

"scripts": {
  "test": "cross-env LIBRARY_NAME=@angular/core karma start",
  "build": "npm run test"
},

karma.conf.js

Your Karma configuration.
Ideally you shouldn’t need to change much in here. The config file uses
karma-webpack, so there is
a webpack property where you can essentially write your webpack.config.js.
You’ll need to change this property to tell it how to bundle your library.

meta/

This directory contains issues.json where you list any open GitHub issues
related to custom element support in your library. There is also a summary.md
where you write a short description of how the library interacts with custom
elements and any known quirks or gotchas.

src/

This directory contains components.js where you create library/framework
components which try to communicate with custom elements. You then test these
components in basic-tests.js and advanced-tests.js. You’ll want to use all
of the assertions in the test files but update the actual test implementations
to use your library’s components.

Note that all frameworks use the custom elements in the
/libraries/__shared__/webcomponents/ directory for tests.

tests.webpack.js

This file is consumed by the test runner and tells it to import any files ending
in -test. You probably won’t need to change this file.

Step 2. Add npm scripts

In the root of the project you’ll need to add a couple of npm scripts to make
sure your library builds with the rest of the site. You should be able to copy
an example from one of the other libraries.

  • In the root of the project, Add an install-* script to package.json and run it during the install script.
  • In the libraries/[your library]/ director, update the build script in
    package.json to include your library’s name.

There’s a test runner called index.js that lives in the root of the project.
It will detect when you’ve added a new folder to libraries/ and attempt to
run that folder’s build command.

Step 3. Run update-goldens

In the root of the project, run npm run update-goldens. This will generate
an expectedResults.json file for your library’s tests.

This way any change that results in a different summary score for any library
shows up in code review, and any change that would accidentally change the
summary score will make the tests fail.

What kind of behavior do the tests assume?

  • The library/framework should be able to display elements that use shadow DOM,
    insert children in them, and handle hiding and showing them.
  • The library/framework should be able to pass primitive data (strings,
    numbers, booleans) to a custom element as either attributes or properties.
  • The library/framework should be able to pass rich data (objects, arrays)
    to a custom element using properties.
  • The library/framework should be able to listen to DOM events from a custom
    element. These DOM events could use any casing style.

How does the site get deployed/maintained?

Any PR landed to the main branch will trigger an automatic publish to GitHub
pages.
