Getting Started

Before diving in, make sure your local environment is set up correctly. Webui uses Node.js 18+, PNPM, and TypeScript.

⚡ Prerequisites

Install Node.js ≥ 18.0, PNPM, and Git. Familiarity with React, TypeScript, and modern CSS will help you contribute more effectively.

Terminal
# Clone the repository git clone https://github.com/webui/webui.git cd webui # Install dependencies pnpm install # Start development server pnpm dev

Once the server is running, visit http://localhost:3000 to see the local playground. Run pnpm lint and pnpm test to ensure everything passes before pushing.

Ways to Contribute

Contributions aren't just about code. Here are the most impactful ways you can help:

1 Bug Fixes

Find a bug? Search existing issues first. If it's new, open a detailed report with reproduction steps.

2 Feature Requests

Propose new components or improvements. Include use cases, mockups, and technical considerations.

3 Documentation

Improve guides, fix typos, add examples, or translate docs into new languages.

4 Design & UI

Submit component variations, theme suggestions, or accessibility improvements.

Code Style & Commits

We maintain high consistency across the codebase. Follow these conventions:

  • TypeScript: Strict mode enabled. Avoid any. Use interfaces over types when defining object shapes.
  • Formatting: Prettier is enforced automatically via pre-commit hooks.
  • Naming: Components use PascalCase. Hooks use use prefix. Constants use UPPER_SNAKE_CASE.
  • Commit Messages: Follow Conventional Commits: feat:, fix:, docs:, refactor:, etc.
Example Commit
feat(card): add hover elevation animation - Implement smooth transform on hover - Add transition timing function - Update stories with variant examples Closes #42

Pull Request Process

Keep your PRs focused and well-documented. Here's how to get your work merged:

  1. Branch: Create a feature branch from develop: git checkout -b feature/my-improvement
  2. Test: Ensure all tests pass: pnpm test --coverage
  3. Lint: Fix any linting errors: pnpm lint --fix
  4. PR: Open a draft PR early for feedback. Request review when ready.
  5. Review: Address comments promptly. Squash commits before merging.
