Patternfly extension seed

To create an extension:

1. create an empty repo for your new extension
2. clone that repo to your local machine
3. cd into the directory created by cloning
4. run npx tmplr patternfly/patternfly-extension-seed
5. enter your information when prompted
   • npm scope should start with an @ symbol, i.e. @patternfly
   • extension name should be in sentence case but without any punctuation, i.e. Patternfly extension seed
   • repo URL should be the plain URL of the repo not URL used to clone, i.e. https://github.com/patternfly/patternfly-extension-seed
6. run yarn to install dependencies

From there you can:

• run yarn start to build and start the development server
• run yarn test to run the tests for the demo component
• run yarn lint to run the linter
• run yarn build:docs followed by yarn serve:docs, then run yarn test:a11y in a new terminal window to run our accessibility tests for the demo component. Once the accessibility tests have finished running you can run yarn serve:a11y to locally view the generated report.

Upon pushing to your remote repo GitHub Actions should run which ensure that the extension can properly build, pass all tests, pass the linter check, and pass all accessibility tests.

If you add a token to the repo with the name NPM_TOKEN and automation permissions on NPM it should also automatically deploy the package to NPM once it has passed the above checks.
