Issue number: Internal --------- <!-- Please do not submit updates to dependencies unless it fixes an issue. --> <!-- Please try to limit your pull request to one type (bugfix, feature, etc). Submit multiple pull requests if needed. --> ## What is the current behavior? <!-- Please describe the current behavior that you are modifying. --> The team currently faces two challenges: 1. Verifying visual changes locally is difficult because we cannot use the existing ground truths as they were generated in Linux environments and most of our team uses either macOS or Windows. While team members can generate ground truths in the correct environment, they need to remember to do that first before making changes. 2. Updating visual diffs is time consuming and can only be done by team members. Our GitHub Action runs the entire test suite which can take ~10 even if only a handful of screenshots are generated. Additionally, this job can only be run by team members meaning community contributors cannot update/add screenshots. This limits them to non-visual tasks when contributing. In the event that they do want to make visual changes, the team needs to copy all their code into a branch and manually run screenshot diffs for them. ## What is the new behavior? <!-- Please describe the behavior or changes that are being added by this PR. --> - This PR introduces the ability to run all Playwright tests inside of a Docker container using an image with Playwright dependencies. The container will have access to the local project, so developers can make changes and then run tests in the container after the changes are compiled. This enables anyone to propose new screenshot changes. However, the "update screenshot" job will still be available for folks who do not want/are unable to use docker. - There are some typeface differences between GH Actions and the Docker image which is why there are a handful of screenshots that needed to be updated. One risk here is that the Playwright npm and Docker image versions must be kept in sync. As a result, I also updatRenovate to allow us to auto update the npm and Docker image versions at the same time. ## Does this introduce a breaking change? - [ ] Yes - [x] No <!-- If this introduces a breaking change: 1. Describe the impact and migration path for existing applications below. 3. Update the BREAKING.md file with the breaking change. 4. Add "BREAKING CHANGE: [...]" to the commit description when merging. See https://github.com/ionic-team/ionic-framework/blob/main/.github/CONTRIBUTING.md#footer for more information. --> ## Other information <!-- Any other information that is important to this PR such as screenshots of how the component looks before and after the change. --> ⚠️ There are still some issues I need to sort out with mounting the local project on Windows. However, using Ubuntu with the linux subsystem for windows can be used as a workaround. I'd like to merge this so we can start testing it in our day-to-day workflow and ironing out any bugs. --------- Co-authored-by: ionitron <hi@ionicframework.com>
@ionic/core
Ionic is an open source App Development Framework that makes it easy to build top quality Native and Progressive Web Apps with web technologies.
The Ionic Core package contains the Web Components that make up the reusable UI building blocks of Ionic Framework. These components are designed to be used in traditional frontend view libraries/frameworks (such as Stencil, React, Angular, or Vue), or on their own through traditional JavaScript in the browser.
Features
- Tiny, highly optimized components built with Stencil
- Styling for both iOS and Material Design
- No build or compiling required
- Simply add the static files to any project
- Lazy-loaded components without configuration
- Asynchronous rendering
- Theming through CSS Variables
How to use
Vanilla HTML
Easiest way to start using Ionic Core is by adding a script tag to the CDN:
<script type="module" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@ionic/core/dist/ionic/ionic.esm.js"></script>
<script nomodule src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@ionic/core/dist/ionic/ionic.js"></script>
<link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@ionic/core/css/ionic.bundle.css" rel="stylesheet">
Any Ionic component added to the webpage will automatically load. This includes writing the component tag directly in HTML, or using JavaScript such as document.createElement('ion-toggle')
.
Additionally, within this package is a dist/ionic.js
file and accompanying dist/ionic/
directory. These are the same files which are used by the CDN, and they're available in this package so they can be apart of an app's local development.
Framework Bindings
The @ionic/core
package can be used in simple HTML, or by vanilla JavaScript without any framework at all. Ionic also has packages that make it easier to integrate Ionic into a framework's traditional ecosystem and patterns. (However, at the lowest-level framework bindings are still just using Ionic Core and Web Components).
Custom Elements Build
In addition to the default, self lazy-loading components built by Stencil, this package also comes with each component exported as a stand-alone custom element within @ionic/core/components
. Each component extends HTMLElement
, and does not lazy-load itself. Instead, this package is useful for projects already using a bundler such as Webpack or Rollup. While all components are available to be imported, the custom elements build also ensures bundlers only import what's used, and tree-shakes any unused components.
Below is an example of importing ion-badge
, and initializing Ionic so it is able to correctly load the "mode", such as Material Design or iOS. Additionally, the initialize({...})
function can receive the Ionic config.
import { defineCustomElement } from "@ionic/core/components/ion-badge.js";
import { initialize } from "@ionic/core/components";
// Initializes the Ionic config and `mode` behavior
initialize();
// Defines the `ion-badge` web component
defineCustomElement();
Notice how we import from @ionic/core/components
as opposed to @ionic/core
. This helps bundlers pull in only the code that is needed.
The defineCustomElement
function will automatically define the component as well as any child components that may be required.
For example, if you wanted to use ion-modal
, you would do the following:
import { defineCustomElement } from "@ionic/core/components/ion-modal.js";
import { initialize } from "@ionic/core/components";
// Initializes the Ionic config and `mode` behavior
initialize();
// Defines the `ion-modal` and child `ion-backdrop` web components.
defineCustomElement();
The defineCustomElement
function will define ion-modal
, but it will also define ion-backdrop
, which is a component that ion-modal
uses internally.
Using Overlay Controllers
When using an overlay controller, developers will need to define the overlay component before it can be used. Below is an example of using modalController
:
import { defineCustomElement } from '@ionic/core/components/ion-modal.js';
import { initialize, modalController } from '@ionic/core/components';
initialize();
defineCustomElement();
const showModal = async () => {
const modal = await modalController.create({ ... });
...
}
