Fonts

Including font awesome (v4)

The pattern library relies on font awesome meaning including it is required.

CDN

You can include it using a CDN (see font awesome getting started docs)

npm

$ npm install font-awesome --save

Including Roboto

The patterns look best when the roboto font is available.

CDN

You can include it using a CDN, like so:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:100,300,400,500,700">

npm

install it:

$ npm install typeface-roboto --save

include it (in your entry-point):

import 'typeface-roboto';

Getting started

Please refer to the wiki

Adding new components/composites

All additions must be approved by our UX team so before working on anything, please create an Issue including a detailed description on the requested pattern and several use cases for it.

Development

npm install
npm run build or for development - npm run dev which will rebuild when files are changed

NOTE: if a new component or composite is added, remember to create a quick wiki entry explaining what is absolutely necessary in using this widget.

Testing

Testing is done using mochify along with the 'chai' assertion library (assert.isFalse(!!0)). The test/ directory structure matches the lib/ directory. This means that if you're testing lib/components/foo/index.js, you would create a test in test/components/foo/index.js. See the test/ directory for examples. The tests are browserified and transpiled before running in the phantomjs headless browser so you can require / import stuff and use ES6 syntax in the tests.

$ npm test

or to have a watcher re-run tests every time you add a new test:

$ npm run test:dev

Debugging

The pattern library uses the debug module. To turn all debugging on, execute: localStorage.debug = 'dqpl:*' and refresh the page. The directory structure of lib is used as the debug naming convention. For example, to specifically debug the "selects" component, execute: localStorage.debug = 'dqpl:components:selects'.
