Welcome to Chapter 7: Contributing and Quality Workflow. In this part of Onlook Tutorial: Visual-First AI Coding for Next.js and Tailwind, you will build an intuitive mental model first, then move into concrete implementation details and practical production tradeoffs.
This chapter covers the contribution model and quality gates for contributing to Onlook itself.
- follow Onlook's contribution process
- run local quality checks before PRs
- structure changes for maintainable review
- reduce integration risk when modifying editor/runtime subsystems
- pick issue or propose scoped enhancement
- implement in feature branch/fork
- run tests/lint/format/type checks locally
- open PR with architecture notes and reproduction steps
- iterate with maintainer feedback
Onlook developer docs reference quality tooling including testing, linting/formatting, and TypeScript checks via Bun workflows.
You now have the operational contribution baseline for working on Onlook core.

The docker-compose module in docker-compose.yml handles a key part of this chapter's functionality:
name: onlook
services:
web-client:
build:
context: .
dockerfile: Dockerfile
env_file:
- apps/web/client/.env
ports:
- "3000:3000"
restart: unless-stopped
network_mode: host
networks:
supabase_network_onlook-web:
external: true
This module is important because it defines how Onlook Tutorial: Visual-First AI Coding for Next.js and Tailwind implements the patterns covered in this chapter.
The next.config module in docs/next.config.ts handles a key part of this chapter's functionality:
/**
* Run `build` or `dev` with `SKIP_ENV_VALIDATION` to skip env validation. This is especially useful
* for Docker builds.
*/
import { createMDX } from 'fumadocs-mdx/next';
import { NextConfig } from 'next';
import path from 'node:path';
const withMDX = createMDX();
const nextConfig: NextConfig = {
reactStrictMode: true,
};
if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development') {
nextConfig.outputFileTracingRoot = path.join(__dirname, '../../..');
}
export default withMDX(nextConfig);This module is important because it defines how Onlook Tutorial: Visual-First AI Coding for Next.js and Tailwind implements the patterns covered in this chapter.
The eslint.config module in eslint.config.js handles a key part of this chapter's functionality:
import baseConfig from "@onlook/eslint/base";
/** @type {import('typescript-eslint').Config} */
export default [
...baseConfig,
{
files: ["tooling/**/*.js"],
},
];This module is important because it defines how Onlook Tutorial: Visual-First AI Coding for Next.js and Tailwind implements the patterns covered in this chapter.
