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:

$ npm install oojs-ui

Once installed, include the following scripts and styles to get started:

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://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/oojs/ui oojs-ui`

2. Move into the library directory:
`$ 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:
`$ npm install`

5. Build the library (you can alternatively use `grunt quick-build` if you don't need to rebuild the PNGs):
`$ grunt build`

6. You can see a suite of demos in `/demos` by executing:
`$ 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.
