Concepts & setup

Spirit

Ghost Docs uses Spirit/Brand as its design system. For development, it's recommended to yarn link the local Spirit repo to docs (yarn link how to).

Using Spirit

There are multiple ways you can use Spirit:

1. Inline Spirit (Tachyons) CSS classes

You can use Spirit CSS classes directly in className attribute. Typically for non-reusable, custom components where Spirit classes are sufficiently let you style the component.

Example:

<div className="flex justify-between pa10"></div>

2. SpiritStyle

• import { SpiritStyle } from '/src/components/spirit-brand/spirit-styles.js' in components
• The properties of SpiritStyle object are predefined combinations of Spirit CSS classes. Use it for all the reusable styles (e.g. links, headings etc.).
• TODO: needs to be outsourced to a gatsby plugin or external react module. (The Ghost admin client is using the ember-cli-ghost-spirit addon to access Spirit/Product helpers.)

Example:

<h1 className={ SpiritStyle.heading.h1 }></h1> <!-- Returns "f1 fw5 bb b--lightgrey pb3 mb7 mt10" -->

3. Styled Components + CSS classes or SpiritStyle

Use styled-components combined with Spirit styles to inject custom CSS within the context of the given component.

Example:

const Header = () => (
    <Container>...</Container>
)

const Container = styled.div.attrs({
        className: { SpiritStyle.box } " shadow-2"
})`
    margin: 10px;
`

Helpers

Tags

Returns tags for a post as HTML or simple string. Will fallback to generate a tag General if no tag applicable is found.

Options:

• post [required, the post object]
• internal [optional, bool, default false, returns internal tags if set to true]
• limit [optional, number, default 1, limits the number of tags to be returned]
• separator [optional, string, default ", ", sets the separator to concat the tags]
• html [optional, bool, default false, returns tags and separators in span elements when set to true]
• classes [optional when html is used, string, default "darkgrey fw5", classNames used for the html tags]
• separatorClasses [optional when html is used, string, default "mr1 ml1 f8 midgrey", classNames used for the html separator tags]

Example usage HTML:

<div>
    <Tags
        post={post}
        separator=" / "
        html={true}
    />
</div>

will render:

<div>
    <span class="darkgrey fw5">Tag</span>
</div>
