Parata

Component based styles for the web. Parata enforces you to build re-usable components for the web and generates a component wise styleguide.

Getting Started

Parata is packaged as a grunt plugin. So, make sure you install GruntJS. There is a generator included which is packaged as a yeoman generator. Refer here to get started on the generator: https://github.com/cybrilla/generator-parata

Or simply run: $ npm install -g generator-parata. You may require root permissions for it. Also make sure you have yeoman installed. Make sure you read the docs: https://github.com/cybrilla/generator-parata

Quick example

Generate a button component if you haven't created one using the generator. Open components/button/ in your editor.

Add some styling

/**
  * @component button
  * @description Button.
  * @variants primary | secondary | default
  */

button {
  color: #F5F5F5;
  padding: 10px;
  &:hover {
    cursor: pointer;
  }
  &.primary {
    background: blue;
  }
  &.secondary {
    background: red;
  }
  &.default {
    background: yellow;
  }
}

Import the component to components/app.scss

/**
  * Bootstrap file for all styles
  */

  @import 'button/style'

Create an HTML sample / example for the component in example.html

<example for="button">
<button class="{{ variant }}">{{ variant }}</button>
</example>

Create a javascript snippet for the component in example.html

<script for="button">
alert("Hello I'm a component!");
</script>
