Component Library Installation Skill

Purpose

Add and configure the component library dependency in package.json when user requests it.

Execution Context: This skill runs as a separate step (Phase 1, Step 4) after package.json is generated.

⚠️ CONDITIONAL SKILL - READ CAREFULLY

Execute this skill ONLY if:

include_component_library: yes

If

include_component_library: no

:

• SKIP this skill entirely
• Move to next skill

Input Parameters

From configuration:

• include_component_library

  - Boolean flag (

  yes

  or

  no

  )

• component_library

  - Name of the component library package (default:

  @RoyalAholdDelhaize/pdl-spectrum-component-library-web

  )

• component_library_version

  - Always fetch latest version from npm registry

Package.json Format

Important: The component library uses an npm alias format in package.json:

{
  "dependencies": {
    "@royalaholddelhaize/pdl-spectrum-component-library-web": "npm:@RoyalAholdDelhaize/pdl-spectrum-component-library-web@^{version}"
  }
}

Why the alias?

• Key (lowercase):

  @royalaholddelhaize/pdl-spectrum-component-library-web

  - npm convention for lowercase scopes
• Value (original case):

  npm:@RoyalAholdDelhaize/pdl-spectrum-component-library-web@^{version}

  - actual package name

Manual installation command:

npm install @RoyalAholdDelhaize/pdl-spectrum-component-library-web

npm automatically creates the alias format in package.json.

Key Rule

Component library dependency is added to package.json when:

include_component_library: yes

If fetching latest version fails:

• Skip installation
• Inform user that GitHub token is missing
• Provide setup instructions
• Continue with project generation

Implementation Steps

⚠️ CRITICAL: Component library packages use

npm show

, NOT

npm view

• Reason: GitHub Packages authentication works best with

  npm show

• All other packages use

  npm view

  (see package-json skill)

Step 1: Conditional Check

// ONLY execute if user requested component library
if (userConfig.include_component_library !== 'yes') {
  console.log('⏭️  Skipping component library - not requested');
  return; // Exit this skill
}

Step 2: Read Existing package.json

const fs = require('fs');
const path = require('path');

// Read the generated package.json
const packageJsonPath = path.join(process.cwd(), 'package.json');
const packageJson = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(packageJsonPath, 'utf-8'));

Step 3: Fetch Latest Version and Add to Dependencies

if (userConfig.include_component_library === 'yes') {
  const { execSync } = require('child_process');
  
  try {
    // Fetch latest version from npm registry
    // IMPORTANT: Component library packages MUST use 'npm show', not 'npm view'
    // This is the standard for GitHub Packages authentication
    // Note: Uses npm show without --registry flag to respect ~/.npmrc authentication
    const latestVersion = execSync(
      'npm show @RoyalAholdDelhaize/pdl-spectrum-component-library-web version',
      { encoding: 'utf-8' }
    ).trim();
    
    userConfig.component_library_version = `^${latestVersion}`;
    
    // Add to dependencies using npm alias format
    // Key: lowercase scope (npm convention)
    // Value: npm:{original case package}@{version}
    const aliasKey = '@royalaholddelhaize/pdl-spectrum-component-library-web';
    const aliasValue = `npm:@RoyalAholdDelhaize/pdl-spectrum-component-library-web@${userConfig.component_library_version}`;
    
    // Add to package.json dependencies
    packageJson.dependencies[aliasKey] = aliasValue;
    
    // Write updated package.json
    fs.writeFileSync(packageJsonPath, JSON.stringify(packageJson, null, 2) + '\n');
    
    console.log(`✓ Component library configured: ${aliasKey} → ${aliasValue}`);
    
  } catch (error) {
    // If fetching version fails, inform user and skip installation
    console.log('\n⚠️  GitHub token is missing. Skipping component library installation.');
    console.log('📖 To install the component library later, configure a GitHub token:');
    console.log('   https://docs.github.com/en/packages/working-with-a-github-packages-registry/working-with-the-npm-registry#authenticating-with-a-personal-access-token\n');
    
    // Skip installation - do not add to dependencies
    userConfig.include_component_library = 'no';
    return;
  }
}

Validation Checklist

• Verify

  include_component_library

  flag checked before execution
• Verify latest version fetched successfully before adding to package.json
• Verify user informed with setup instructions if fetch fails
• Verify component library added to package.json only when fetch succeeds
