Ccs-frontend-kit NPM

CCS-Frontend-Kit

Npm package that contains all the styles and assets of the CCS website. This is so that any new projects can import the same css and keep the styles consistent across all applications in CCS.

Create a new project

$ mkdir [name of your project]
$ cd [name of your project]
$ npm init
$ npm install sass

Install Frontend Kit inside your project

$ npm install ccs-frontend-kit

check `node_modules` to find ccs-frontend-kit package

Copy fonts, images and scripts from Frontend Kit to your project

At the root of your project:

$ mkdir Assets

Copy fonts, images and scripts into your Assets folder:

$ cp -R ./node_modules/ccs-frontend-kit/Assets/fonts ./Assets/fonts
$ cp -R ./node_modules/ccs-frontend-kit/Assets/images ./Assets/images
$ cp -R ./node_modules/ccs-frontend-kit/Assets/scripts ./Assets/scripts

(You can also add a script for this copy to package.json)

Copy the govuk package

$ cp -R ./node_modules/govuk-frontend/govuk ./Assets/scripts/govuk

Link the styles from ccs-frontend-kit to your project

$ cd Assets && mkdir styles
$ cd styles
$ touch main.scss

Add the following line inside main.scss:

@import "../../node_modules/ccs-frontend-kit/Assets/styles/styles.scss";

If needed, modify this path so that it correctly points to the imported file.

Compile scss into css:

Add the following script to package.json:

"compile": "cd ./Assets/styles && sass main.scss main.css"

$ npm run compile

If there are errors during this compile edit the import for govuk-frontend/govuk/all from inside the ./node_modules/ccs-frontend-kit/Assets/styles/styles.scss, so that it points to the file correctly.

Import the styles to your main html file

At the root of your project

$ touch index.html

Inside the <head> tag, add a link tag pointing to your compiled main.css:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="./Assets/styles/main.css">

Add these scripts at the bottom of the <body> tag:

<body>
  ...
  <script src="./Assets/scripts/libraries/jquery-1.12.4.js"></script>
  <script src="./Assets/scripts/libraries/objectFitPolyfill.js"></script>
  <script src="./Assets/scripts/app.js"></script>
  <script src="./Assets/scripts/govuk/all.js"></script>
</body>

Find and test a component by copying its markdown from https://gov.uk website.
