Read the wiki to learn how to add new pages to design.va.gov, improve local search, add images, etc.

Testing updates to the Formation codebase on this site

In order to test new updates to Formation, you will need to work in two different repositories: the repository for this site and veteran-facing-services-tools. For the steps below, make sure you are doing your work in a new branch for both repos.

Clone the veteran-facing-services-tools repo at the same level as the design system documentation site.

my-projects-folder
|   ├── vets-design-system-documentation
|   ├── veteran-facing-services-tools

Follow the setup instructions to get veteran-facing-services-tools running.
Change package.json in vets-design-system-documentation to use a local version. "@department-of-veterans-affairs/formation": "file:../veteran-facing-services-tools/packages/formation"
Make your changes in veteran-facing-services-tools and run $ npm run build.
Now, in vets-design-system-documentation, run the following:
```
$ npm install
$ npm run start
```

While vets-design-system-documentation is running and make further updates to veteran-facing-services-tools, you will need to run $ npm run build in that repo, then $ npm run build in vets-design-system-documentation.

When you have finished your work in veteran-facing-services-tools, follow the instructions to submit a PR and publish to NPM.
Once your update has been published to NPM, update package.json in vets-design-system-documentation from the local version to the new version number.
Commit this along with any updates to the documentation site and submit a PR.
