factory

The Funkhaus component Factory. Build as many components as you want and get paid fast.

Together with James Lee, Funkhaus has set out to make a marketplace for talented developers to build single components for our agency projects.

Quick start

Find an available component to build here
Get approval to build it by commenting on the issue
Pull down the branch for that component's project
Build the component, and commit a PR to that project branch.

Slack

We have a Slack channel here. This invite link might work for you too. Otherwise email [email protected] for an invite.

How it works

This repo is setup with Project Boards for each website we are working on at Funkhaus. Each Project has a branch of this repo that goes with it. There are also several Issues tagged with component request for each Project.

Any developer can request to build any component on any Project by making a PR to the project's branch (which is just a Storybook). Each component has a time estimate and a budget that goes with it. You get paid once you finish the component.

How to accept a Component Request

Each Project has a bunch of Component Requests or CR for short, which are just GitHub issues. These "issues" explain the component we need built. See this for example.

Any unassigned CR is up for grabs to the first developer that wants it. Review the request, ask questions and when ready, reply to the issue with a proposal to build the component. If accepted, the CR Issue will be tagged "accepted", and progressed to the Accepted column in the Project's board. You'll have 72 hours to complete the component before it is released and up for grabs by another developer.

How to develop once a Component Request has been accepted

Every issue is assigned to a Github Project and every Github Project has an associated branch. For example, we currently have a MakeMake project and in return also have a branch named makemake.

For Project Branch

Fork the factory repo into your account (button is in top right corner of GitHub)
Code your component in a new local branch
When you're finished, create a new PR from your local branch, into the project branch of factory/project-name.
1. Be sure to include a list of issues (Component Requests) your PR relates to in the PR description.
2. Only commit the files that relate to your component. The most common source of PR rejections are because of files like package.lock getting included in a PR.

TIP If you use git CLI, then syncing your fork to the upstream repo is a good idea.

Storybook Development

We use storybook to develop and show off the components that have been created. If you are not familiar with storybook, checkout storybook.

To get started:

npm install
npm run storybook
Develop your new component in the src/components directory

Be sure to create a new directory with the component name, like /src/components/WorkBlock. Place the component file in this directory. See an example component here.
At a minimum the ${component}.vue file and ${component}.stories.js file should be here.
Name your storybook story like WorkBlock. Include an author credit comment in the top of your Vue file.

For example:

- src/components
- - WorkBlock
- - - WorkBlock.vue
- - - WorkBlock.stories.js

Please look at the above example for a better understanding of coding standards and how to pass in mock data.

How to submit a finished Component for review

Once a component request (CR) has been accepted, and developed, you can open a Pull Request for review. When creating the Pull Request, please make the PR against the Project's Branch. IE: factory:makemake.

In the GitHub Project Board, we will move your CR to the "In Review" column and tag your issue as such. If we have notes for you, we will reply in the PR, you'll make the changes and commit to open PR.

How to get paid

Once your component PR has been approved and merged, you can send a Venmo request to @funkhaus or a PayPal invoice to [email protected]. Be sure to include your issue number and component name in the payment request. We will pay you within 24 hours.

Timeline

Most components should take between 2-4 hours to complete. So please don't accept a component unless you plan on finishing it within the next 72 hours. If more than 72 hours pass since starting on a component, you will be removed from the component and it's free for someone else to claim.

We will only pay for complete and approved components.

Code style guide and expectations

Each project branch includes a Project Specification and an Agency Specification markdown file in the Storybook.

The Agency specification is essentially the Funkhaus style guide, and it doesn't change often.

The Project Specification is unique to each project and covers things like fonts and colors used on the project, be sure to read both.

Dependent components

It's common that a Project will include some dependent or global components (often mentioned in the Component Request). You can put these in the /global folder, they will be ignored by Storybook.

A common example of this is <router-link> or <nuxt-link>, or some of the related WordPress fuxt components we often use.

Funkhaus best practices

Here is a general overview of best practices at Funkhaus, please consider these when building a component.

Mock data

All our data generally comes our of WordPress using the WP-GQL. The file db.json found in src/static of this repo can used in your Storybook components to mock these data structures.

But we've setup some ways to access the data easily. Please see this sample Storybook component. to see how it's used.

SVGs

For all icons or logos, it's recommended that you use a SVG file. These should be placed in /src/assets/svgs and then imported and used as a component, but please prepend the component name with SVG.

For example, in a Vue Component you'd end up with:

import SvgLogoFunkhaus from "@/assets/svgs/logo-funkhaus.svg"

components: {
    SvgLogoFunkhaus
},

<svg-logo-funkhaus class="svg" />

Most XD design files allow you to select the SVG and in the lower right of the screen you will see a download button. Sometimes the designers will forget to enable the SVG for export, so please reply to the component request issue asking for the SVG and it will be supplied.

CSS & SCSS variables

Each project includes a global stylesheet, and a SCSS variables stylesheet injected into each component automatically. These style sheets are used to share basic fonts and colors etc, often times as CSS or SCSS variables.

Often times you'll need to use a project color or project font, you'd just do this:

.title {
    font-family: var(--font-primary);
    color: var(--color-yellow);
}
.sub-title {
    font-family: var(--font-secondary);
    color: var(--color-red);
}

Everything you need is generally explained in each Project Specification included in the Storybook. But for advanced users, this explains where things are defined in code:

You can see what fonts weights are available by looking in the /src/styles/fonts.css file.
You can see what CSS vars are available by looking in the /src/styles/global.scss file.

Breakpoints & Hover States

Similar to the way fonts and color variables are defined, we use SCSS variables to unify media queries for responsive breakpoints and hover states. This will be defined in each Project Specification.

These variables are injected into each component automatically, so you'd simply be able to do this:

// Hover states
@media #{$has-hover} {
    &:hover .image {
        border: 4px solid #0000ff;
    }
}

// Breakpoints
@media #{$lt-tablet} {
    .image {
        border: 4px solid #ff0000;
    }
}

Fonts

Each project includes the required fonts and weights. If one is missing, please comment on the component request issue.

Font's should be used by CSS var, like so:

.title {
    font-family: var(--font-primary);
}
.sub-title {
    font-family: var(--font-secondary);
    weight: 600;
}

Available fonts and weights are explained in each Project Specification, but can also be found in /src/styles/fonts.css and /src/styles/global.scss.
