NuxtLabs UI

For the past two weeks, we've been working on open-sourcing our components library at NuxtLabs that powers Volta and Nuxt Studio.

It took a lot of refactor to achieve this, so there is no real update on Volta itself.

We're happy to announce NuxtLabs UI, a Nuxt module that provides everything related to UI when building a Nuxt app (components, icons, colors, dark mode and keyboard shortcuts) is now open-source!

Feel free to use it in your Nuxt projects and contribute to it!

Public repositories access

You no longer need to be logged in to Volta to view public repositories. When navigating to a public repository while not authenticated, you will be able to see its issues and pull requests as a board, list or timeline.

You'll also be able to navigate through public repositories using our command menu K. A Login with GitHub button will be displayed in the aside instead of the usual links like Inbox, Favorites...

Issues bulk edit

You can now bulk edit issues and pull requests when in the board or list from the K menu with Change labels and Change milestones actions. This will open a modal where you can select / unselect respective labels or milestones from filtered issues.

Inbox auto clean

You can now automatically clean specific notifications to save you time on inbox triage by clicking on the Clean all action from the menu or by pressing ⇧ D.

This will delete filtered notifications already read from:

• issues / pull requests closed or merged
• repositories imported or failed
• releases published

Fixes & Improvements

• Tracked issues are now sorted in the same order they were written
• Fixed a bug where milestones would not display in the board view if there were no other data in the block
• Fixed a bug where clicking on a link in the changelog notification inside electron would not open the browser
• Fixed a bug where issue subscribe dropdown, New milestone and Open archive actions would be displayed to non-maintainers on public repositories
• Fixed a bug where referencing a repository in markdown as @nuxt/devtools would create a broken link
• Fixed a bug where syncing organization members could reset seats

Tracked Issues

When creating task lists in issues body, referenced issues and pull requests will now be tracked and displayed in the issue right panel.

Issues tracked will be displayed under Tracking with the completion of closed issues and issues tracking will be displayed under Tracked by. You can navigate directly to these issues from this section.

When an issue is tracking other issues, a 2 / 3 badge will be displayed in the board or list.

Archived Issues

You can now display archived issues of your repository or project by clicking on Open archive in the menu or through the Open archive command menu action. This will fetch all the issues and pull requests that have been archived in the past.

Archived issues and pull requests will be marked with a badge on the board and list views.

You can close the archive by clicking on the Close archive button in the header or through the command menu action.

Issue Commands

You can now directly interact with issues from the command menu to update their status, labels, milestones, assignees and reviewers.

The shortcuts for status, labels, milestones, assignees and reviewers respectively S, L, M, A and R now open the command menu instead of the dropdown.
