Lookbook is implemented as an isolated Rails Engine and uses ViewComponent, Tailwind and Alpine for its UI.
This repository contains:
- The Lookbook source code (
/app,/lib,/config, etc) - A 'workbench' app used for Lookbook component development (
/workbench). - The Lookbook documentation site source code and content (
/docs). - A test suite with a 'runable' dummy app (
/spec).
To preview the Lookbook components within a Lookbook instance you can run the included workbench app:
- Clone this repo
- Install dependencies:
bundle install & npm install - Start the app:
bin/workbench - Visit http://localhost:4545/lookbook to view the Lookbook instance
The workbench app will be started in development mode and any changes to Lookbook's views or assets will immediately be reflected in the UI.
The Lookbook docs site is built using Bridgetown and the source files can be found in the ./docs directory.
To preview changes locally you can run a development version of the docs site:
- Clone this repo
- Install dependencies:
bundle install - Start the app:
bin/docs - Visit http://localhost:4000
Lookbook uses RSpec for testing.
Tests can be run using the rake spec or bundle exec rspec commands.
The dummy app that the tests are being run against can be viewed by running the bin/dummy command and then browsing to http://localhost:9292/lookbook
