Web Implementation

The HIG Web implementation consists of html, css and js. You can opt to only consume the html and css part and write the wrapper against the interface.json yourself (hard) or opt to use our js wrapper directly (easy).

Install

npm install
npm run lib

Consuming Basic Example: Button

var Button = new Hig.Button({
    "title": "just a button",
    "link": "http://autodesk.com"
});

Button.mount("body");

Button.onClick(function(e){
    e.preventDefault();
    console.log("Button CLICK")
});

more advanced button examples can be found in the components tests dir

Writing a new component

Creating a new component (or subcomponent) consists of 2 parts:

1. Write the interface.json outline
2. Write your html/css/js implementation, for this provide plop skeleton templates to get you started, type the following command to start the interactive shell:

plop

Use the arrows to select the hig_skeleton, type your component name (ex: component123), next type the location where you would want your component directory to live (ex: src/components/component123_parent). This will generate a html, sass and js file in the directory you provided, in our example it would create:

src/components/component123_parent/component123/component123.html
src/components/component123_parent/component123/component123.sass
src/components/component123_parent/component123/component123.js

Adding a new icon

To add a new svg icon to our stack, simply add the svg file to the src/basics/icons/src directory. Next run the following command:

npm run build-icons

which will trigger our build script to create an updated release file in src/basics/icons/release. The build script in itself simply does a SVGO optimize of the svg, and stores the optimized svg as a string in a key-value object in our release file, read more about the script here: src/basics/icons/build/build.js.

Running visual regression tests

• create a local file called .env and contact someone on the #orion-hig-web-dev slack channel for credentials (you'll need a SAUCE_USERNAME=xxxxx and a SAUCE_ACCESS_KEY=xxxxx)
• Run the gemini tests and generate a report: $ npm run gemini-report
• View the report: $ open ./gemini-report/index.html
