To work on the code of the documentation site portion of this repo, you'll need | ||
recent versions of the following things installed on your local machine. | ||
| Library | Version | Purpose | | ||
| ------------- | ------------- | ------------- | | ||
| [Bundler](http://bundler.io/) | 1.10 | Used to install [jekyll](http://jekyllrb.com) and its dependencies | | ||
| [Node.js](http://nodejs.org/) | 0.12.x or 4.0.x | Third-party dependency package management | ||
| [GulpJS](https://github.com/gulpjs/gulp) + other gulp-based packages | 3.9.0 | Task runner for build process | | ||
- - - | ||
### Step 1: Install Jekyll | ||
The Pattern Library is managed through Jekyll, a static website generator, so you'll need to install that. | ||
**Mac Users** | ||
We use a Ruby gem called Bundler to install Jekyll, as that allows us to track the version of Jekyll running on github pages easily. | ||
We assume you have ruby 2.0.0 or later installed. If you don't, an easy way to do that is to use [RVM](http://rvm.io). | ||
With that out of the way, next step is to install bundler, and then to use that to install Jekyll: | ||
``` | ||
$ gem install bundler | ||
$ bundle install | ||
``` | ||
**Windows users** | ||
Windows users have a bit more work to do, but luckily | ||
[@juthilo](https://github.com/juthilo) has provided some instructions with his | ||
[Run Jekyll on Windows guide](https://github.com/juthilo/run-jekyll-on-windows). | ||
You may also need to install Pygments, the Python syntax highlighter for code | ||
snippets that plays nicely with Jekyll (which we use to highlight Front End | ||
source code). Read more about this in [the Jekyll | ||
docs](http://jekyllrb.com/docs/templates/#code_snippet_highlighting). | ||
- - - | ||
### Step 2: Install Node.js and Node Package Manager (npm) | ||
The npm command-line tool is bundled with [Node.js](https://nodejs.org). If you have it installed, then you already have npm too. If not, go [download Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/download/). | ||
- - - | ||
### Step 3: Install Project Dependencies & Gulp Task Flow | ||
From the directory you've checked out this repo into locally, run: | ||
``` | ||
npm install | ||
``` | ||
This runs through all dependencies listed in package.json and downloads them to | ||
a `node_modules` folder in your project directory. | ||
**NOTE:** You may need to run this more than just once (if encountering errors | ||
when running the gulp command) as new dependencies may have been added. | ||
To run the version of gulp installed local to the project, in the root of your | ||
this project, run: | ||
``` | ||
./node_modules/.bin/gulp | ||
``` | ||
- - - | ||
### Step 4: Run Locally (w/ Gulp Workflow) | ||
To view the Pattern Library locally (and to watch for any local changes to | ||
content/assets), run the `default` gulp task with: | ||
``` | ||
gulp | ||
``` | ||
This will run the `default` gulp task defined in `gulpfile.js`, which includes the general local development set-up task (``build-development``) and file/asset watching (``watch``). | ||
After running the default task, your local instance of the Pattern Library can | ||
be viewable at http://localhost:3000. There are additional views: | ||
* ``http://localhost:3000/examples/**/*`` - where full page examples and demos are kept | ||
* ``http://localhost:3000/patterns/**/*`` - permalinks for individually documented pattern library patterns | ||

### Committing Code to PLDOC | ||
When developing changes or new work within the PLDOC, please make sure to: | ||
1. leave the Pattern Library Source Code (contained in ``pattern-library``) unedited (or edit in a separate branch/commit) | ||
2. run the production preparation-focused gulp task ``gulp build-production``, which will optimize any checked in production assets (styles, images, and scripts), if you've added or heavily edited new PLDOC assets. | ||
## Development - UX Pattern Library Package | ||
If you add or edit any patterns in this repo (found in ``_src/pattern-library/``) or change any package-centric settings (e.g. ``package.json`` or ``bower.json``), please do the following: | ||
1. test that the change you've made will not negatively affect the node package manager (npm) or Bower packages other apps and codebases are relying on | ||
2. talk to the UX Team about any bumps (based on [semantic versioning](http://semver.org/)) in the npm or Bower packages' version number that are needed. | ||
- - - | ||
## Use and Deployment | ||
The UX Pattern Library is meant to be a starting UI Framework to support edX | ||
and Open edX applications and sites. To start using the UX Pattern Library in an | ||
edX/Open edX app, please follow these steps: | ||
### Step 0: Install Node | ||
You'll need to [download Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/download/) in order to use either of the UXPL packages. | ||
### Step 1: Install and Configure UXPL Packages | ||
Next, you'll want to add the edx-pattern-library registered package as a dependency for your project and install it all at once. You have a few options for what package manager to do that through: | ||
#### Using Node | ||
In your project's main directory, you'll need to create a ``package.json`` file that will manage locally installed npm packages. To create a package.json run: | ||
``` | ||
$ npm init | ||
``` | ||
You'll be walked through some basic settings for your project's package. See also [npm's documentation on setting up a package](https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/using-a-package.json). | ||
Next, you'll want to add the ``edx-pattern-library`` registered package as a dependency for your project and install it all at once. | ||
``` | ||
$ npm install edx-pattern-library --save | ||
``` | ||
See also, [npm's documentation on installing/saving dependencies](https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/using-a-package.json#the-save-and-save-dev-install-flags). | ||
#### Using Bower | ||
After instaling Node.js, you can install [Bower](http://bower.io/), a package manager we use to download and maintain many of our vendor and external library refereces. | ||
To install Bower globally: | ||
``` | ||
npm install -g bower | ||
``` | ||
Next, you'll want to add the ``edx-pattern-library`` registered package as a | ||
bower dependency and install it all at once. | ||
``` | ||
bower install edx-pattern-library --save | ||
``` | ||
**NOTE:** Bower recommends initializing your project as a bower project in order to manage third party dependencies such as the `edx-pattern-library` bower package. [Bower explains how to do that well with bower.json](http://bower.io/docs/creating-packages/#bowerjson). | ||
- - - | ||
### Step 2: Use the UX Pattern Library in your project's Styling | ||
#### Use the pre-compiled UX Pattern Library CSS files (BETA) | ||
You can use the edX UX Pattern Library as a static CSS base alongside other CSS files. To do so add a reference in the ``<head>`` of your app's HTML | ||
```html | ||
<link rel="stylesheet" href="[path to your package manager (npm or bower) or manually managed assets]/edx-pattern-library-ltr.min.css" /> | ||
``` | ||
**NOTE**: The node package manager (npm) package comes with several variations of compiled CSS, including: | ||
* RTL and LTR support - noted by either a ``*-ltr`` or ``*-rtl`` suffix. | ||
* Minified and expanded CSS output formats - for production and development/debugging purposes respectively. | ||
**NOTE:** This way of using the edX UX Pattern Library is currently in beta is not as widely tested as the Sass method (described below). If you find bugs/issues, please [log them](#bugs-and-issues). | ||
#### Reference UX Pattern Library Partials in your Sass Compile | ||
You can also use the edX UX Pattern Library as part of your CSS's Sass compilation (**our preferred method**). To do so, | ||
just import all utilities (see the ``utilities`` directory) and what components (see the ``components`` directory) you want. | ||
##### Default Reference/Import | ||
All components and utilities can be imported by default by importing the ``_edx-pattern-library.scss`` partial. See the expanded/simplified example below taken from [``main-ltr.scss``](https://github.com/edx/ux-pattern-library/blob/master/_src/pldoc/static/sass/_main-ltr.scss) and the [``_build.scss``](https://github.com/edx/ux-pattern-library/blob/master/_src/pldoc/static/sass/_build.scss) compilation of the edX Pattern Library's Documentation Site: | ||
```scss | ||
// ------------------------------ | ||
// edX Pattern Library Site: Main Style Compile - LTR | ||
// About: Sass compile for the edX Pattern Library Site. This does not contain styles for other edX products/experiences (e.g. account/onboarding). | ||
// ------------------------------ | ||
// #CONFIG - layout direction | ||
// ------------------------------ | ||
@import 'ltr'; // LTR-specifc settings and utilities | ||
// ------------------------------ | ||
// #CONFIG | ||
// ------------------------------ | ||
@import 'config'; | ||
// ------------------------------ | ||
// #LIB | ||
// ------------------------------ | ||
@import 'lib'; // third party libraries | ||
@import '../../../pattern-library/sass/edx-pattern-library'; // UXPL | ||
// ------------------------------ | ||
// #EXTENSIONS | ||
// ------------------------------ | ||
@import 'utilities'; | ||
@import 'components'; | ||
@import 'layouts'; | ||
@import 'views'; | ||
@import 'overrides'; | ||
``` | ||
**NOTE**: Since both libSass and RubySass lack a way to pass in variables/configuration into their ``@import {file}`` method, each app is responsible for 1) storing any npm-based dependencies, including the edx-pattern-library, in the best directory structure for that app's set up and 2) creating a ``_lib.scss`` partial to import all third party library dependencies from that structure for the Pattern Library to use (see above example). | ||
**NOTE**: We support right-to-left and left-to-right-based layouts. View more details on what [configuration and utilities are needed alongside the UXPL](https://github.com/edx/ux-pattern-library/wiki/Styleguide:-Sass-&-CSS#right-to-left-rtl-support) | ||
See [the UX Pattern Library Files + Application Files guidelines](https://github.com/edx/ux-pattern-library/wiki/Styleguide:-Sass-&-CSS#ux-pattern-library-files--application-files) and [example style compile](https://github.com/edx/ux-pattern-library/wiki/Styleguide:-Sass-&-CSS#main-style-compile) for more examples, details on how to use partials, and general background. | ||
##### Custom Reference/Import | ||
If you'd like to customize what to import, you can manually import specific elements from the edx-pattern-library package. Here's an example of customizing the default import demo above: | ||
```scss | ||
// ------------------------------ | ||
// edX Pattern Library Site: Main Style Compile - LTR | ||
// About: **Customized** Sass compile for the edX Pattern Library Site. This does not contain styles for other edX products/experiences (e.g. account/onboarding). Any styles defined in the partials contained here should be prefixed with ".pldoc-" to avoid cascade/run-off into the element stylings. | ||
// ------------------------------ | ||
// #CONFIG - layout direction | ||
// ------------------------------ | ||
@import 'ltr'; // LTR-specifc settings and utilities | ||
// ------------------------------ | ||
// #CONFIG | ||
// ------------------------------ | ||
@import 'config'; | ||
// ------------------------------ | ||
// #LIB | ||
// ------------------------------ | ||
@import 'lib'; // third party libraries | ||
// use UXPL's buttons, headings, copy, grid, and layouts | ||
@import '{path to edx-pattern-library package}/pattern-library/sass/patterns/buttons'; | ||
@import '{path to edx-pattern-library package}/pattern-library/sass/patterns/headings'; | ||
@import '{path to edx-pattern-library package}/pattern-library/sass/patterns/copy'; | ||
@import '{path to edx-pattern-library package}/pattern-library/sass/patterns/grid'; | ||
@import '{path to edx-pattern-library package}/pattern-library/sass/patterns/layouts'; | ||
// ------------------------------ | ||
// #EXTENSIONS | ||
// ------------------------------ | ||
@import 'utilities'; | ||
@import 'components'; | ||
@import 'layouts'; | ||
@import 'views'; | ||
@import 'overrides'; | ||
``` | ||
##### Configure Settings | ||
There are a few places you can start to explore configuring aspects of the UX | ||
Pattern Library for your purposes. You can find many configurations and base | ||
settings in ``src/sass/utilities/_variables.scss`` and can override/customize | ||
those in your application's ``utilities.scss`` partial (they'll be used | ||
throughout the rest of the compile). | ||
**NOTE:** The code and design contained in the library has not been tested for use | ||
alongside other UI Frameworks such as Bootstrap or Foundation. | ||
**NOTE:** The source code of the Pattern Library does not include any local or | ||
production-focused Sass/Front End tooling. It's expected that your app/site | ||
has its own Sass compiler (preferrably LibSass). | ||
