Gymondo Pattern Lab (PL)

The Gulp wrapper around Pattern Lab Node Core providing tasks to interact with the core library and move supporting frontend assets.

Known Bugs In Official PL (Node edition)

Currently, there's a bug preventing us from using parameter trees (downstream) in our pattern. Github issues:

• Multiple pattern parameters down a render tree cause issues
• Patterns with Pattern Parameters Cannot Be Overwritten Downstream

Until those bugs are fixed, we cannot use the whole magic of the mustache partial parameters in our pattern code.

Installing

npm is a dependency management and package system which can pull in all of the Gulp Edition's dependencies for you. To accomplish this:

• download or git clone this repository to an install location.

• run the following from within the folder (where the gulpfile.babel.js is located):

  npm install

Running npm install from a directory containing a package.json file will download all dependencies defined within.

Important Note: writing (S)CSS code

When you are adding, changing, modifying (or whatsoever) CSS code, keep in mind that you do not put vendor prefixes in the code! This will be handled by the PostCSS process (Gulp).
