Vue project template for authoring component and their use case

vue-authoring-template

This template is to help authoring Vue component with it's use case in story-scenario (storybook) format.

vue init DrSensor/vue-authoring-template

In case you need to convince your Lead Dev to give you permission open-sourcing your work :

"Authoring component and publish it to npm for later use can help reduce complexity ^{by delegating the work of finding bug and adding feature} of big/long-running project _{to the community}"

Motivation

1. There is a time when developer involved in a project then build component to solve specific problem ?
2. One day this developer happen to do the same thing again in different project with slight alteration ?
3. Then doing it again, and again, and again ?
4. Now this developer have build many component with the same topic ?
5. So, why not publish it as a single component with that one topic in mind to npm? ?
6. However, the component must be showcased in mvce style to make it easy to understand and maintainable ?
7. As the time passed, he/she is to lazy to do that because no template/config/cli/whatever for authoring the component in that way :poop:

Features

• Write your storybook story-scenario (a.k.a use case) in .vue single-file-component format, not .js or .jsx
• Option to generate circleci config to:
  • publish vue component to npm and unpkg _{(need to git push --tags)}
  • deploy storybook page to surge.sh
  • evaluate pull-requests and temporarily deploy storybook page to <name><#PR_number>.surge.sh _{(auto teardown when PR is merged)}
• Choose pre-installed and configured storybook addon:
  • knobs
  • actions
  • docs related addon:
    • readme
    • notes
• Order the story and scenario alphabetically or manually re-order using Array|Object in src/stories/config.js
• Auto generate README.md

Usage

vue init DrSensor/vue-authoring-template

After that, you can:

• start in development mode

npm run dev # or
yarn dev

• deploy storybook page directly to http://surge.sh

npm run deploy # or

• publish component directly to http://npmjs.com

# see https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/semantic-versioning#semver-for-publishers
