Getting started

Docs can be found at http://tachyons.io/docs The modules are generally pretty small and thus quick and easy to read.

Use the CDN

The quickest and easiest way to start using tachyons is to include a reference to the minified file in the head of your html file.

You can always grab the latest version with

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://unpkg.com/tachyons-modular/build/build.min.css">

You can also specify a specific version. The latest version is 1.0.0

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://unpkg.com/tachyons-modular@1.0.0/build/build.min.css">

Local Setup

Clone the repo from github and install dependencies through npm.

git clone https://github.com/particlecss/tachyons-modular.git
cd tachyons-modular
npm install
lerna bootstrap

Dev

If you want to just use everything in tachyons/src as a jumping off point and edit all the code yourself, you can compile all of your wonderful changes by running

npm start

If you'd like to build the css output, run

npm run build

If you want to check that a class hasn't been redefined or 'mutated' there is a linter to check that all of the classes have only been defined once. This can be useful if you are using another library or have written some of your own css and want to make sure there are no naming collisions. To do this run the command

npm run test:mutations

Docs

The tachyons docs located at http://tachyons.io are all open source and located at https://github.com/tachyons-css/tachyons-css.github.io

You can clone the docs and use them as a template for documenting your own design system / patterns / components. While not everything is automated, the component library generation makes it extremely easy to generate and organize the documentation for components as demonstrated at http://tachyons.io/components
