Saxon Fletcher cb35e1f98e chore(library): update routes, redirects, and naming (#48668)
Our UI Library registry is expanding to include blocks that go beyond UI
and in some cases focus purely on back-end. This PR is a precursor to
adding more back-end related blocks. This PR includes the `ui-library ->
library` rename plus redirects and small UI copy updates. Since this is
a rename we'll need to update Vercel configuration.

## Vercel rollout

Keep the Library project Root Directory as `apps/ui-library`

1. In the **Library** Vercel project, set:

   `NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_PATH=/library`

Apply it to Preview and Production, then redeploy the Library project.

2. In the **www** Vercel project, add:

`NEXT_PUBLIC_LIBRARY_URL=<current value of NEXT_PUBLIC_UI_LIBRARY_URL>`

Apply it to Preview and Production. Keep `NEXT_PUBLIC_UI_LIBRARY_URL`
during the migration, then redeploy the www project.

3. Deploy in this order:

   1. Library project
   2. www project

4. Validate:

   - `/library`
   - `/library/docs/nextjs/password-based-auth`
   - `/ui` redirects to `/library`
- `/ui/docs/nextjs/password-based-auth` redirects to
`/library/docs/nextjs/password-based-auth`
- `/ui/docs/ai-editors-rules/*` still uses its existing Docs redirects

No Vercel dashboard redirect rules are needed. Environment-variable
changes require a new deployment.

Supabase Design System

Design resources for building consistent user experiences at Supabase.

Getting started

First, make a copy of .env.local.example and name it env.local. Then install any required packages and start the development server:

cd apps/design-system
pnpm i
pnpm dev

The dev command runs both the Next.js development server and Contentlayer concurrently, which is recommended for most development workflows.

Alternative commands

You can also run the development server and content watcher separately:

# Run only the Next.js development server
pnpm dev:next

# Run only the content watcher (in a separate terminal shell)
pnpm dev:content

Or run the development server from the root directory:

pnpm dev:design-system

To run both the development server and content watcher from the root directory, you can use:

# Run the development server
pnpm dev:design-system

# Run the content watcher (in a separate terminal shell)
pnpm --filter=design-system dev:content

Open http://localhost:3003 in your browser to see the result.

Watching for MDX changes

The dev command automatically watches for changes to MDX files with hot reload. If you're running the pnpm dev:next separately, you'll need to run pnpm dev:content in a separate terminal shell to watch for content changes.

Adding components

The design system references components rather than housing them. That’s an important distinction to make, as everything that follows here is about the documentation of components. You can add or edit components in one of these two places:

There are several parts of this design system that need to be manually updated after components have been added or removed (from documentation). These include:

  • config/docs.ts: list of components in the sidebar
  • content/docs: the actual component documentation
  • registry/examples.ts: list of example components
  • registry/fragments.ts: list of fragment components
  • registry/charts.ts: list of chart components
  • registry/default/example/*: the actual example components

You will need to rebuild the design system’s registry after making new additions:

cd apps/design-system
pnpm build:registry
