Kitten
Kitten is a components library based on Sass and React. It provides mixins to create flexible components based on your own brand elements (colors, fonts, typographic scale, etc.).
You can check out Kitten's components on KissKissBankBank's styleguide.
It is an npm module coupled with a Rails engine that provides an integrated styleguide. It should eventually be separated into two different repositories.
Dependencies
- Ruby 2.2.4
- Bundler (
gem install bundler
) - Node ~> 6.0

Installation
You can choose to use the npm module only or with the Rails engine.
Npm
npm install kitten-components --save-dev
Rails engine
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
# Style guide
gem 'kitten'
And these routes to your routes.rb
:
mount Kitten::Engine, at: '/kitten' if Rails.env.development?
You can then run bundle
and restart your server.
kitten
is designed to serve assets with Webpack
through React on Rails.
For more detailed instructions, see Rails webpack configuration.
Usage
CSS components
Import kitten
and the components your want to use in your application:
@import 'kitten';
@include k-Button;
You can define your own font families, typography settings and colors by overriding the
the $k-fonts
, $k-typography
and $k-colors
options. Check out the
default config
for an example.
React components
You can render React components directly in your js bundle:
const yourLoanSimulatorProps = {}
ReactDOM.render(
React.createElement(LoanSimulator, yourLoanSimulatorProps),
document.getElementById('loan-simulator')
)
Or, use React on
Rails
view helper in your .erb
file:
<%= react_component('LoanSimulator', props: your_loan_simulator_props) %>
Style guide
Kitten provides a styleguide interface through a Rails engine. You can run see it in your browser by downloading kitten and launching the app or by installing the style guide in your Rails app.
The engine provides some configuration options that can be defined in
config/initializers/kitten.rb
:
- webpack_output_bundle: This option is used to pass an output bundle name
for hot reloading. By default, it is set to
application-bundle
.
Example configuration:
Kitten.configure do |config|
config.webpack_output_bundle = 'your-custom-bundle'
end
Development
Components

Production settings
To share the style guide with production settings (to share via ngrok for example), you can compile the assets and serve a production server:
$ bin/rake staging:assets:precompile
$ REACT_ON_RAILS_ENV= rails s -b 0.0.0.0
Cleanup

bin/kitten cleanup
Style checker
$ yarn stylelint
Ruby specs
$ bundle exec rake

We use SassDoc to generate documentation from our components comments.
Generate the documentation:
$ bundle exec rake sassdoc
# OR
$ yarn sassdoc
The documentation is accessible on development environment: /kitten/sassdoc
.
Component testing
To launch the JS tests:
$ bin/kitten test
# OR
