@neos/neos-ui

The next generation Neos CMS interface written in ReactJS with Immutable data structures.

Browser support

The new interface supports all evergreen (i.e. self-updating) browsers, including: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, Opera and other webkit-based browsers. If you discover bugs in any of the supported browsers, please report them!

Features

Better editing experience for responsive websites.
Faster load times for the backend.
No reload constraint for the correct stylesheets on multi-site systems.
Updated Font-Awesome to v4.5.0 (old icon names are migrated on the fly).

Installation and usage

The new UI is already included in the base Neos distribution. If you don't have it installed yet, follow these steps:

You need to have Neos CMS 3.3 or newer up & running.

Run the following command:

composer require neos/neos-ui neos/neos-ui-compiled

Now you are all set up and you can login to the new interface as usual via /neos route.

Updating

composer update neos/neos-ui neos/neos-ui-compiled

Installing dev-master

For trying out the new UI, we recommend you to run the regularily released beta releases. However, if you want to stay on bleeding-edge, or want to help out developing, you'll need the dev-master release. You can install the master release using:

composer require neos/neos-ui:dev-master neos/neos-ui-compiled:dev-master

Contributing

In order to start contributing, follow the following steps:

Ensure you have the dev-master version installed (see above).
We require Chrome as well as the yarn(https://yarnpkg.com/en/) command and GNU Make(https://www.gnu.org/software/make/) to be installed on your system.
Inside Configuration/Settings.yaml, set the following property for disabling the pre-compiled files:
```
Neos:
  Neos:
    Ui:
      frontendDevelopmentMode: true
```
Run the initialization script:
```
make setup
```
Get an overview about the codebase. We've recorded an introduction on YouTube which gets you acquainted with the basics. Additionally, please get in touch with us on Slack in the channel #project-ui-rewrite. We're eager to help you get started!

Development commands

Command	Description
`make clean`	delete all node_modules in every subdirectory.
`make build`	Runs the development build.
`make build-watch`	Watches the source files for changes and runs a build in case.
`make build-watch-poll`	Watches (and polls) the source files on a file share. Should preferably be used when working an a VM for example.
`make storybook`	Starts the storybook server on port 9001.
`make lint`	Executes `make lint-js` and `make lint-editorconfig`.
`make lint-js`	Runs test in all subpackages via lerna.
`make lint-editorconfig`	Tests if all files respect the `.editorconfig`.
`make test`	Executes the test on all source files.
`make test-e2e`	Executes integration tests.

Custom webpack live reload options

If you are developing inside a virtual machine and you are running the watch command on your local system it is may be needed for you to adjust the live reload optons.

This can be done by putting an .webpack.livereload.local.js inside the repository root.

An example file would look like this:

module.exports = {
       protocol: 'http',
       port: '123',
       hostname: 'localhost'
};

Code style

Our code style is based upon xo, with one big difference - We use 4 spaces instead of tabs, to align our code style a bit with the PSR-2 standard for our PHP codebase. To lint the code, execute make lint in your shell.

Writing unit tests

The unit tests are executed with jest. To run the unit tests, execute make test in your shell.

Adding unit tests is fairly simple, just create a file on the same tree level as your changed/new feature, named [filename].spec.js and karma will execute all tests found within the spec file, other than that, just orient yourself on the existing tests.

Use it.only(() => {}) and describe.only(() => {}) if you want to run a specific test and not the whole test suite.

Integration tests

For end to end testing we use the headless chrome. So it is mandatory to install the chrome browser for integration tests. Since Chrome 59 the headless mode is integrated. So please install a Chome 59 or higher to execute the end to end tests.

Releasing

Run VERSION=<VERSION_YOU_WANT_TO_RELEASE> make release e.g VERSION=1.0.2 make release. This checks if you set the environment variable, reinstall all node_modules, builds a production release runs make lint, make test and make test-e2e, bumps the version locally via lerna and publish the version as a new npm tag. After that you should carefully revisit your local changes, commit then and open a pull request on Github. When travis runs through merge it an tag a new release on Github.

After that trigger jenkins with the new version.
