Usage

The following section should give you a brief overview how to use this style guide.

Add and maintain patterns

To store new pattern to the style guide simply add them in the folder

app/_pattern

This style guide follows the atomic design pattern and all pattern are organized in folders:

app/molecules
app/organism
app/templates  
app/pages

To add new pattern simply add a new HTML File with the file extension ".hbs" there. You can make full use of Handlebars in the template files. When the web server is running the files will be picked up by a gulp task and automatically added to the configuration.

The pattern configuration is stored in the path:

app/_config/pattern.conf.json

All patterns are stored in the following format:

{
    "patterns": [
        {
            "title": "Headings",
            "description": "Default Headlines",
            "filename": "00-headings",
            "filepath": "atoms/00-headings.hbs"
        },

In ever pattern the title and description property can be change manually to a proper name. Filename and file path will be used to find the pattern corresponding with the file.

Adding custom CSS

All custom CSS use SASS as a preprocessor. The main file of the style guide is stored in the folder styles. Other files of interest:

• _corev15.scss - combined SharePoint Styles
• sp-design.scss - prefixed SASS file

All changes of files will precompiled and browser will refresh automatically.
