Question about site width container

Closed this issue · 5 comments

hbweb commented

Hi team - just wonder if there is away to overwrite $site-width parameter in order to make container's width wider without editing _grid_layout.scss directly? We're developing web-based application (not public facing site) so ideally want to get wider layout etc.

Also, Has anyone tried to use Bootstrap v3 with govuk elements and govuk_frontend_toolkit?

Thanks

The first part of this will be answered by #331 (I don’t see that being a problem but I’ll check with people today).

The second part: running GOV.UK assets alongside Bootstrap isn’t a supported scenario. What are you planning to use Bootstrap for?

hbweb commented

Thanks @robinwhittleton - it would be great if it is possible to override just like the image path etc.
$path: "/public/images/";

For the second part: We're thinking about utilise some bootstrap's components for our web based application which has so many features and the team want to fit them all in a page with minimal clicks. Also, we only target desktop for this internal project.

@hbweb Our current admin UI is based on bootstrap which includes some admin patterns: https://github.com/alphagov/govuk_admin_template. That might be useful.

It’s lagging behind our public patterns however.

Blimey! this is amazing Paul @fofr, thanks for that - I will take a look and see if we can bring it into our Angular 2 application.
Re public patterns, there are some forms and pages need to be built, seems to be challenging when PO wants to have all visible on the screen.

Following the launch of the GOV.UK Design System, GOV.UK Frontend Toolkit will now only get major bug fixes and security patches, so I'm going to close this given the lack of activity.
