For now there is a conflict with the new Prettier version, so for now
we just keep the previous version to check it later during the next
renovate pull request.
Working on the date picker, we looked for an headless
UI components library. React-aria was chosen to support
the new form's component development. They developped a suite of
headless UI components that seemed quite easy to style.
Previously we were using standard Roboto Font but we were struggling to
get the same boldness as the ones from the Figma sketches. It appears
that Figma uses Roboto Flex, so by installing it we can now nearly
perfectly align our visuals with the ones form the sketches. I had to
do some custom tweaks with the weights of the font because if we
use exactly the same font-weight as in Figma the render is still different.
Since last dependencies storybook, it appears there are missing babel
dependencies to be able to run storybook properly. So we install
missings deps in order to fix that.
The DataGrid component can be considered as the core one, which provides
a full controlled component, but more complicated than SimpleDataGrid
which is based on DataGrid. SimpleDataGrid is intended to give a simple
ready-to-use data grid for client side data for example.
We need to ensure that our components are accessible. In order to ease
this task, we decide to install this package to display an a11y report
for each component into the storybook interface. In this way, developer
can check if the component it is developing violates or miss so a11y
rules.
Updated various parts of existing documentations to make a clean path
to learn how to install the library. I let the most complicated part in
the tokens's README.md file, which is referenced from the Storybook.
We needed a tool to automate the handling of monorepo's changelogs and
packages publishing. We want to make the CI responsible to automatically
publish bumped packages and create associated tags.
In order to make the storybook visible to everyone. Some changes
had to be made to make index.scss compiled with the rest of the
codebase, it had to be imported from preview.js, not directly from
preview.html.
Relatives import are quite ugly and reduces readability, but
hard to say that Typescript handles it very well for compilation
time, but nothing for runtime. That's why I had to add tsc-alias
to the build script. Please see this issue for more details.

Furthermore, some configuration was needed for Jest to work well.
