The IT4C Boilerplate for frontends

Requirements & Technology

To be able to build this project you need nodejs, npm and optional docker and jq.

The project uses vite as builder, vike to do the SSR. The design framework is vuetify which requires the frontend framework vue3. For localization vue-i18n is used; Session storage is handled with pinia.

Testing is done with vitest and code style is enforced with eslint, remark-cli and stylelint.

This projects utilizes storybook and chromatic to develop, document & test frontend components and vuepress for static documentation generation.

How to use as part of a project

If you want to use this as part of a larger project, e.g. in conjunction with a backend also utilizing a boilerplate you cannot use the template mechanic provided by github for this repository.

You can use the following commands to include the whole git history of the boilerplate and be able to update according to changes to this repo using another remote.

git remote add xxx_boilerplate_frontend [email protected]:IT4Change/boilerplate-frontend.git
git fetch xxx_boilerplate_frontend
git merge -s ours --no-commit --allow-unrelated-histories xxx_boilerplate_frontend/master
git read-tree --prefix=xxx/ -u xxx_boilerplate_frontend/master
git commit -m "Imported boilerplate_frontend as a subtree under xxx/."

To update the subtree you can use

git subtree pull -P xxx/ xxx_boilerplate_frontend master
git commit -m "Updated boilerplate_frontend in subtree under xxx/."

Where xxx refers to the folder and product part you want to use the boilerplate in. This assumes that you might need several copies of the frontend boilerplate for you product.
