MVF Design Patterns

To include MVF Patterns in your project, complete this steps

To get the project up and running for development complete the following steps:

Clone this repo: git clone git@bitbucket.org:ihitge/mvf-patterns.git
Switch branches git fetch && git checkout gh-pages
Pull from Master git pull origin master

A more elegant solution is in the works. Watch this space.

Requirements for development

Bits is built upon Fractal, a tool that enables the rapid development of components, templates and pages. Fractal uses a number of ES6 features, so this project requires Node.js v4.0+ to be installed locally. A global install of Gulp is also recommended.

Installation for development

To get the project up and running for development complete the following steps:

Download and install Node: https://nodejs.org/
Clone this repo: git clone git@bitbucket.org:ihitge/mvf-patterns.git. If this doesn't work, change "ihitge" to "mvfglobal"
Optional Install Gulp globally: npm install gulp -g
Optional Install Fractal globally: npm install fractal -g
Install project dependancies: npm install
Start the development environment: npm start
Open your browser and visit http://localhost:3000

Development

When developing components, you may want assets automatically compiled and the browser to refresh automatically. To do this, run the following task:

npm run dev

Creating a static build

To create a static instance of this project, run the following task:

npm run build

This will create a folder called www, into which the required files will be created.

Deployment

To make this project publicly accessible, you can deploy a static instance by running the following task:

npm run publish

This will publish the contents of public to your gh-pages branch.
