Advanced tools
This module contains styles and assets for the VA design system.
Quick start
npm install @department-of-veterans-affairs/formation
Our components are styled with sass, which is exported in the sass directory in the module. There's a core.scss file that includes uswds styles and our changes on top of it. Many of the components also have individual scss files in sass/modules, which you should make sure to import when using a particular component.
Also included is a full build of all the styles, including component styles, at dist/formation.min.css. This file is quite large and should not be used in sites were performance is a high priority.
Assets
Image and font assets used by Formation are included in the dist folder.
