Shila theme for Drupal 8 🐕

An atomic design and Pattern Lab friendly, component-based, fairly unopinionated starting point for new Drupal 8 themes. Shila theme can be used stand-alone with Pattern Lab, and currently supports both Pattern Lab Node and Pattern Lab PHP.

For more information and documentation, see the project Wiki.

Setup

Prerequisites: npm and Composer installed.

In the Shila theme root directory run

npm run setup

Additional setup for Pattern Lab PHP

The default setup is for Pattern Lab Node. Follow these additional instructions if you want to use Pattern Lab PHP.

In the Shila theme root directory run

npm run setup-pattern-lab-php

Then open gulp-config.yml and uncomment the dir line in the Pattern Lab section.

Gulp tasks

The theme includes a gulpfile.js with some useful tasks. However, using Gulp and these tasks is completely optional.

The default task compiles any Sass files, generates Pattern Lab, launches a Browsersync server at http://localhost:3000 and then keeps watching for any changes made to Sass, Twig and other files.

For the default task, in the Shila theme root directory run

gulp

To list all available tasks with short descriptions, in the Shila theme root directory run

gulp --tasks

Known issues with Pattern Lab Node

There might be one or more errors similar to request to http://127.0.0.1:32853/?type=renderFile failed, reason: connect ECONNRESET 127.0.0.1:32853. Try generating the site again until there are no such errors.
