How it works

  1. Patterns folder is watched by Gulp and JSON files are generated for each root pattern
  2. AngularJS uses these JSON documents to show a browseable interface of the patterns
  3. Inject your own CSS by editing index.html and add your own patterns

Todo

  1. Unit testing gulp plugins - gulp-tree and gulp-script-inject
  2. Unit testing of the Angular app
