OOUI
=================
OOUI is a component-based JavaScript UI library. Key features:
* Common widgets, layouts, and dialogs
* Classes, elements, and mixins to create custom interfaces
* Internationalization and localization, like right-to-left (RTL) languages support
* Theme-ability
* Built-in icons
* Accessibility features
It is the standard library for Web products at the Wikimedia Foundation, having been originally created for use by [VisualEditor](https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor).
Quick start
----------
The library is available on [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/package/oojs-ui). To install:
<pre lang="bash">
$ npm install oojs-ui
</pre>
Once installed, include the following scripts and styles to get started:
<pre lang="html">
<script src="node_modules/jquery/dist/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="node_modules/oojs/dist/oojs.min.js"></script>
<script src="node_modules/oojs-ui/dist/oojs-ui.min.js"></script>
<script src="node_modules/oojs-ui/dist/oojs-ui-wikimediaui.min.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="node_modules/oojs-ui/dist/oojs-ui-wikimediaui.min.css">
</pre>
Loading the library
-------------------
While the distribution directory is chock-full of files, you will normally load only the following three:
* `oojs-ui.js`, containing the full library;
* One of `oojs-ui-wikimediaui.css` or `oojs-ui-apex.css`, containing theme-specific styles; and
* One of `oojs-ui-wikimediaui.js` or `oojs-ui-apex.js`, containing theme-specific code
You can load additional icon packs from files named `oojs-ui-wikimediaui-icons-*.css` or `oojs-ui-apex-icons-*.css`.
The remaining files make it possible to load only parts of the whole library.
Furthermore, every CSS file has a right-to-left (RTL) version available, to be used on pages using right-to-left languages if your environment doesn't automatically flip them as needed.

Contributing
------------
We are always delighted when people contribute patches. To setup your development environment:
1. Clone the repo: `$ git clone https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/diffusion/GOJU/oojs-ui.git oojs-ui`
2. Move into the library directory:<br>`$ cd oojs-ui`
3. Install [composer](https://getcomposer.org/download/) and make sure running `composer` will execute it (*e.g.* add it to `$PATH` in POSIX environments).
4. Install dev dependencies:<br>`$ npm install`
5. Build the library (you can alternatively use `grunt quick-build` if you don't need to rebuild the PNGs):<br>`$ grunt build`
6. You can see a suite of demos in `/demos` by executing:<br>`$ npm run-script demos`
7. You can also copy the distribution files from the dist directory into your project.
We use [Gerrit](https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/) for code review, and [Phabricator](https://phabricator.wikimedia.org) to track issues. To contribute patches or join discussions all you need is a [developer account](https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:CreateAccount&returnto=Help%3AGetting+Started).
* If you've found a bug, or wish to request a feature [raise a ticket on Phabricator](https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/task/edit/form/1/?projects=PHID-PROJ-dgmoevjqeqlerleqzzx5).
* To submit your patch, follow [the "getting started" quick-guide](https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Gerrit/Getting_started). We try to review patches within a week.
* We automatically lint and style-check changes to JavaScript, PHP, LESS/CSS, Ruby and JSON files. You can test these yourself with `npm test` and `composer test` locally before pushing changes. SVG files should be squashed in advance of committing with [SVGO](https://github.com/svg/svgo) using `svgo --pretty --disable=removeXMLProcInst --disable=cleanupIDs <filename>`.
A new version of the library is released most weeks on Tuesdays.

Versioning
----------
We use the [Semantic Versioning guidelines](http://semver.org/).
Releases will be numbered in the following format:
`<major>.<minor>.<patch>`
Release
----------
Release process:
<pre lang="bash">
$ cd path/to/oojs-ui/
$ git remote update
$ git checkout -B release -t origin/master
# Ensure tests pass
$ npm install && composer update && npm test && composer test
# Avoid using "npm version patch" because that creates
# both a commit and a tag, and we shouldn't tag until after
# the commit is merged.
# Update release notes
# Copy the resulting list into a new section at the top of History.md and edit
# into five sub-sections, in order:
# * Breaking changes
# * Deprecations
# * Features
# * Styles
# * Code
$ git log --format='* %s (%aN)' --no-merges --reverse v$(node -e 'console.log(require("./package.json").version);')...HEAD | grep -v "Localisation updates from" | sort
$ edit History.md
# Update the version number
$ edit package.json
$ git add -p
$ git commit -m "Tag vX.X.X"
$ git review
# After merging:
$ git remote update
$ git checkout origin/master
$ git tag "vX.X.X"
$ npm run publish-build && git push --tags && npm publish
