TSM flavored theme for mdcss
npm install @subjectmatter/mdcss-theme-tsmThis serves as a slightly branded theme for style guides built with mdcss.
To setup a style guide in a project, first install both mdcss and this style guide theme, mdcss-theme-tsm:
``
npm install mdcss @subjectmatter/mdcss-theme-tsm --save
Now that everything is installed, you'll need to set up a gulp task to build your style guide. Details on how to do so can be found here in the MDCSS documentation. Here is a sample:
`
import gulp from 'gulp'
import sass from 'gulp-sass'
import postcss from 'gulp-postcss'
gulp.task('styles', () => {
return gulp.src('src/sass/style.scss')
.pipe( sass().on('error', sass.logError) )
.pipe( postcss([
require('mdcss')({
theme: require('@subjectmatter/mdcss-theme-tsm')
})
]))
.pipe( gulp.dest('./') )
})
`
Now, running gulp styles from the command line will generate your style guide, by default, in a styleguide/ directory at the root level of your project.
The best practice is to develop the style guide in isolation. When doing so, it's helpful to have a watcht task that will reload the style guide using browserync. A sample task for that would look like this:
`
import gulp from 'gulp'
import browserSync from 'browser-sync'
/*
* A task for rebuilding your stylesheet when any scss files change
*/
gulp.task('styles', () => {
return gulp.src('src/sass/style.scss')
.pipe( sass().on('error', sass.logError) )
.pipe( postcss([
require('mdcss')({
theme: require('@subjectmatter/mdcss-theme-tsm')
})
]))
.pipe( gulp.dest('./') )
})
/*
* A task for moving the updates style.css into your styleguide
*/
gulp.task('styleguide', () => {
return gulp.src('style.css')
.pipe(gulp.dest('./styleguide'))
})
/*
* Finally, a task to watch your styleguide for changes, serve it on
* localhost:4000 and reload it whenever it gets updated
*/
gulp.task('watch:styleguide', () => {
browserSync.create().init({
notify: true,
port: 4000,
ui: {
port: 4001
},
server: 'styleguide',
files: [
'styleguide/index.html',
'styleguide/style.css'
],
open: false
})
gulp.watch('src/sass/*/', ['styles'])
})
``
