Shoemakers, or "Shoelace developers," can use this documentation to learn how to build Shoelace from source. You will need Node >= 12.10.0 to build and run the project locally.
You don't need to do any of this to use Shoelace! This page is for people who want to contribute to the project, tinker with the source, or create a custom build of Shoelace.
If that's not what you're trying to do, the documentation website is where you want to be.
Components are built with Stencil, a compiler that generates standards-based web components. The source code is a combination of TypeScript + JSX (TSX). Stylesheets are written in SCSS.
The build is done through a combination of Stencil's CLI and a handful of custom scripts.
Start by forking the repo on GitHub, then clone it locally and install dependencies.
git clone https://github.com/YOUR_GITHUB_USERNAME/shoelace
cd shoelace
npm install
Once you've cloned the repo, run the following command.
npm run start
This will spin up the Shoelace dev server. Note that the dev server requires ports 4000, 4001, and 4002 to be available.
After the initial build, a browser will open at http://localhost:4000
.
Hot module reloading (HMR) is enabled for components, so changes will instantly reflect in the browser as you work. The documentation is powered by Docsify, which uses raw markdown files to generate pages. As such, no static files are built for the docs. Unfortunately, changes to documentation pages will trigger a page refresh (no HMR).
To generate a production build, run the following command.
npm run build

Shoelace is designed in New Hampshire by Cory LaViska. It’s available under the terms of the MIT license.
Designing, developing, and supporting this library requires a lot of time, effort, and skill. I’d like to keep it open source so everyone can use it, but that doesn’t provide me with any income.
Therefore, if you’re using my software to make a profit, I respectfully ask that you help fund its development by becoming a sponsor. There are multiple tiers to choose from with benefits at every level, including prioritized support, bug fixes, feature requests, and advertising.
👇 Your support is very much appreciated! 👇
Whether you're building Shoelace or building something with Shoelace — have fun creating! 🥾
