Johan Persson bfc5acd0c6 feat(docs-ui): show sub-component changelogs on parent pages
Add all exported sub-components to the Component type union so
changelog entries referencing them are resolved correctly. Update
ChangelogComponent to accept an array of components, showing scoped
badges when filtering by multiple components. Update 13 component
pages to include their sub-components in the changelog section.

Backstage UI Docs

Backstage UI is our internal UI library built for Backstage. We built this website to document the library and its components. You can view this website here.

How to run locally

This website is built with Next.js and it is hosted on Github pages. To run it locally, you can run the following command:

yarn start

Deployment

Deployments are done automatically when a PR is merged into the master branch. We host the website using Github pages.

Maintaining Component Changelogs

After a @backstage/ui release, sync the component changelogs to keep documentation up-to-date:

yarn sync:changelog

This script:

  • Parses packages/ui/CHANGELOG.md for new versions
  • Extracts entries tagged with "Affected components: ..."
  • Updates src/utils/changelog.ts with new entries
  • Handles both component-specific and general package changes

After running, review the changes in src/utils/changelog.ts and commit them.

Preview changes before writing:

yarn sync:changelog:dry-run

Running this gives you a summary of what would be written, without actually adding or changing any files.
