How to contribute to Trizwit/FastnUI Repository?

1. Fork the repository to your Github. 📄

2. Open the forked repo in your code editor ( I am using VS Code ).

3. Create a new folder to store your components in UI-Components folder. And in it also create a component_name.ftd file.

here my component_name is content-1 and i will be referring to it in the rest of the post.

4. Copy the 1st three import statements present in index.ftd to content-1.ftd.

-- import: sarvom.github.io/component-library-tailblocks/assets
-- import: sarvom.github.io/component-library-tailblocks/lib
-- import: fastn-community.github.io/code-block as cb

5. Copy the below format, make your changes and paste it in content-1.ftd.

-- lib.page:

-- lib.container-wrapper:
if: { !lib.code-open }

-- content-1:
## Define your component here !!

-- end: lib.container-wrapper

-- lib.container-wrapper:
if: { lib.code-open }

-- cb.code:
lang: ftd

## Write your component code as \ (backward slash) comments in this section.

-- end: cb.code

-- end: lib.container-wrapper

-- end: lib.page

## Leave a 10 line space here : )

-- component content-1:

## write your component code here !!

-- end: content-1

( ps: dont forget to remove the # comments after your done editing …! )

Your component_name.ftd file shall look somewhat like this !

6. Now open the lib.ftd file and add a new button at the end in the selector section with the url to your component_name.ftd file.

-- selector:

## There will be a lot of other buttons here from other contributors  

-- button: Content-1
url: UI-Components/Content/content-1

-- end: selector

7. Now save all changes and run a pre-trial on your local machine 😍

8. Finally commit your changes to your forked repo and sent a pull request to Trizwit/FastnUI Repository ⭐

This will notify the repository maintainers of your contribution. They will review your changes, and if everything is in order, your changes will be merged into the main repository.

Happy contributing ..!
