Owncast is going through a complete rewrite of the web app frontend.
|
|
|
|
Visit the [UIv2 milestone](https://github.com/owncast/owncast/milestone/18) on GitHub to see the individual tasks for this project.

|
## Why?
|
|
|
|
- Moving to a full React Component workflow allows the project to be more productive and build features faster.
|
|
- Share code between the web frontend UI and the existing admin.
|
|
- Address feedback from users.
|
|
- Better accessibility.
|
|
- Better mobile experience.
|
|
- Updated [design](https://www.figma.com/proto/B6ICOn1J3dyYeoZM5kPM2A/Owncast---Review?node-id=643%3A646&scaling=min-zoom&page-id=643%3A17&starting-point-node-id=643%3A44).
|
|
- Standardize styling across the project by using a single design language and style guide.
|
|
- Allows more people to contribute to the project if we use popular frameworks.

## Contributing
|
|
|
|
1. Find a component that hasn't yet been worked on by looking through the [UIv2 milestone](https://github.com/owncast/owncast/milestone/18)
|
|
and the sidebar of components to the left.
|
|
1. See if you can have an example of this functionality in action via the [Owncast Demo Server](https://watch.owncast.online) or [Owncast Nightly Build](https://nightly.owncast.online) so you know how it's supposed to work if it's interactive.
|
|
1. Visit the `Docs` tab to read any specific documentation that may have been written about how this component works.
|
|
1. Go to the `Canvas` tab of the component you selected and see if there's a Design attached to it.
|
|
1. If there is a design, then that's a starting point you can use to start building out the component.
|
|
1. If there isn't, then visit the [Owncast Demo Server](https://watch.owncast.online), the [Owncast Nightly Build](https://nightly.owncast.online), or the proposed [v2 design](https://www.figma.com/proto/B6ICOn1J3dyYeoZM5kPM2A/Owncast---Review?node-id=643%3A646&scaling=min-zoom&page-id=643%3A17&starting-point-node-id=643%3A44) for some ways to start.
|
|
1. If no design exists, then you can ask around the Owncast chat for help, for come up with your own ideas!
|
|
1. No designs are stuck in stone, and we're using this as an opportunity to level up the UI of Owncast, so all ideas are welcome.

## How?
|
|
|
|
This rewrite is a large project, but like anything else, breaking it into pieces and working on one thing at a time will eventually get us to the finish line.
|
|
And that's what this interface lets us do. On this page we see all the different components still needing to be worked on, and have a place to document the functionality of these pieces.
|
|
|
|
## What about the Admin?
|
|
|
|
The admin has always been a Next+React+Ant project, so the goal is to touch that as little as possible except where needed to share code and styles.
|
|
|
|
## What is this page?
|
|
|
|
This is called [_Storybook_](https://storybook.js.org/docs/react/get-started/introduction).
|
|
Storybook is a tool for UI development. It makes development faster and easier by isolating components.
|
|
This allows you to work on one component at a time. You can develop entire UIs without needing to start
|
|
up a complex dev stack, force certain data into your database, or navigate around your application.
|
|
|
|
For example a button may have a disabled state that requires a specific scenario to take place in real-world use,
|
|
but here we you can just toggle the state to verify things are working as expected.
|
|
|
|
This means [new components should have a corresponding story added](https://storybook.js.org/docs/react/get-started/whats-a-story) to make it easier to maintain the project.
