Scaffold Component

Scaffold Component

Scaffold a new React component in catalog-ui/src/components/ with a co-located test file.

Arguments

$ARGUMENTS should be a PascalCase component name (e.g., CapabilityHeatmap, DomainSummaryCard).

If no argument is provided, ask the user for a component name.

Workflow

1. Parse component name from $ARGUMENTS. Ensure PascalCase.

2. Determine target directory based on component purpose:

   • Graph/visualization component → catalog-ui/src/components/graphs/
   • Diagram viewer → catalog-ui/src/components/
   • Layout/navigation → catalog-ui/src/components/ (or subdirectory if pattern exists)
   • General → catalog-ui/src/components/
   • Ask the user if unclear.

3. Read existing context:

   • Read models/registry-mapping.yaml if the component will render registry data.
   • Read an existing similar component in the target directory for pattern reference.
   • Read catalog-ui/src/lib/types.ts for TypeScript interfaces.

4. Create component file (ComponentName.tsx):

   • Export Props interface: export interface ComponentNameProps { ... }
   • Named export (not default): export const ComponentName: React.FC<ComponentNameProps> = ...
   • CSS via --ec-* variables (never inline styles)
   • Semantic HTML (nav, main, section, article — not div for everything)
   • Accessible: aria labels on interactive elements
   • If rendering registry data: drive all behavior from schema properties (graph_rank, layer, icon), never from type name strings

5. Create test file (ComponentName.test.tsx in same directory or __tests__/):

   • At minimum: one render/smoke test + one behavioral test
   • Use Vitest (import { describe, it, expect } from 'vitest')
   • Mock external dependencies (ReactFlow, data loaders) if needed

6. Verify types: cd catalog-ui && npx tsc --noEmit

Template Pattern

// ComponentName.tsx
import type React from 'react';

export interface ComponentNameProps {
  // Define props here
}

export const ComponentName: React.FC<ComponentNameProps> = (props) => {
  return (
    <section aria-label="Component description">
      {/* Component content */}
    </section>
  );
};

// ComponentName.test.tsx
import { describe, it, expect } from 'vitest';

describe('ComponentName', () => {
  it('should render without crashing', () => {
    // Render test
  });

  it('should handle user interaction', () => {
    // Behavioral test
  });
});

Rules

• Follow the vocab-agnostic principle for core registry rendering (no type-name conditionals).
• Map views (event, heatmap) are intentionally type-aware — that's fine.
• No hardcoded display data — all data from props, config files, or data imports.
• No !important in CSS unless overriding third-party styles.
