Branches

NOTE: You should use master branch of this repository if you want to run samples on your computer. Use the vnext branch only when you want to contribute new samples to this repository.

Preview

You can preview and browse all samples in this repository by opening our React Samples Browser. Alternatively, you you can view these samples with detailed information in our React Help Documentation.

In addition, you can run each sample project individually from the ./samples folder or you can run from the ./browser folder to browse all samples in one website (see instructions below). You can run each sample on Code Sandbox website by clicking on the Edit Sandbox button in a readme file of sample project, e.g.

./samples/charts/category-chart/overview/README.md

Setup

To set up this project locally, clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/IgniteUI/igniteui-react-examples.git

Running Individual Sample

• check out the master branch

• in VS Code, open a folder with existing sample, e.g.

  ./samples/charts/category-chart/axis-options/

• type npm install --legacy-peer-deps command in terminal window

• type npm run start command in terminal window

• Wait until the build is completed and then open http://localhost:4200 in your browser.

At this point, you should see a website hosted example of Ignite UI for React component

Running All Samples

• check out the master branch

• open VS Code as Administrator

• open the browser folder in this repository, e.g. C:\GitHub\igniteui-react-examples\browser

• select View - Terminal menu item

• type npm install --legacy-peer-deps command in terminal window

This will install required packages and Ignite UI for React packages

• type npm run start command in terminal window to start this application locally

Note this application copies all individually sample projects from ./samples to ./browser/src folder when it is about to start running. Therefore, any changes to ./browser/src will be overridden on consecutive run of the application.

Wait until the build is completed and then open http://localhost:4200 in your browser. You should see a website with navigation menu for browning all samples in this repository.

Adding New Sample

• create a new branch from the vnext branch

• open a folder with existing sample, e.g.

  ./samples/charts/category-chart/axis-options/

• copy the sample and rename the new folder, e.g.

  ./samples/charts/category-chart/axis-types/

• open the newly created folder in VS Code

• rename the .tsx file in src folder, using this naming convention:

ControlNameSampleName.tsx

./samples/charts/category-chart/axis-types/src/CategoryChartAxisTypes.tsx

• open the .tsx file

• rename class to the name of .tsx file

• type npm install --legacy-peer-deps command in terminal window

• type npm run start command in terminal window

• implement the new sample in the .tsx file

• close the new sample project in VS Code

• delete node_modules folder in the new sample project

• follow instructions in the next section

Verify New Sample

• open the root folder of this repository in VS Code

• type gulp updateSamples command in terminal window

NOTE this will re-generate the Readme.md file in the new sample

• type npm run start command in terminal window

• open http://localhost:4200 in your browser

• verify that the new sample is listed in the navigation menu

• verify that the new sample loads by clicking navigation link

• verify that there are no errors in DEV console

• take a screenshot of the new sample with navigation menu

• commit your changes

• create a pull request and target the vnext branch

• paste the screenshot in you pull request

• submit your pull request
