Launching

The master branch is deployed to sol-style-guide.herokuapp.com, which serves static css files.

Some projects still use this repo as a dependency. Therefore, after a pull request has been approved to be merged into the master branch, bump the version number and publish it to npm:

npm version major|minor|patch
npm publish
git push

Developing

Run gulp develop / npm run develop and all scss files will be compiled and a webserver will start at port 3000 if free.

When using this repository as a dependency, symlink it locally with npm link.

Settings

The partials in the src/scss/settings directory consist of variables like colors and numerical values, functions and mixins. They do not output any CSS when compiled.

Modules

The partials in the src/scss/modules directory are globally reusable components. Namespace modules by wrapping the whole partial in a block, like this:

.sparks {
    /* all styles go here */
}

Pages

The stylesheets in the src/scss/pages directory consist of imported modules, but can also include some overrides. Overrides should be namespaced in the same way as modules: Wrap the entire contents of the file in a block.

Try to keep these overrides to a minimum, and focus on reusing styles wherever possible, simply by importing modules.
