1. Installation
2. Development

Installation

When installing this package into your project, follow the steps below.

1. Install the style guide package:

npm i @frequency-chain/style-guide

2. Install and configure Tailwind.

• Skip the step where you add @import "tailwindcss"; to your css file as it has already been imported in the library.

3. Edit your app.css file to import the style guide and set the source.

@import '@frequency-chain/style-guide/styles';

/* may need to update path depending on your file structure */
@source '../../node_modules/@frequency-chain/style-guide/**/*.{svelte,js,ts}';

You should now be able to access the Frequency Style Guide Tailwind theme and custom css classes in your Svelte components!

Best Practices

• Refer to the style guide lib/index.css for all branded classes. Your local project css file, should be close to empty, only importing the style guide and containing project specific styles. This file defines the following:
  • colors
  • gradients
  • fonts
  • font sizes
  • shadows
  • breakpoints
  • form element utilities
  • animations
• When setting the font size, refer to Text Utilities in lib/index.css.

  <div class="lgText">Hello world</div>
  <div class="xsText">Aside Text</div>

• When setting the size of anything from width to gaps, refer to Spacing in lib/index.css. The convention is f{pixels}.

  <div class="gap-f12 flex">Hello world</div>
  <div class="h-f40">Hello world</div>
  <div class="p-f32">Hello world</div>

Development

Storybook Quickstart

To spin up the style guide and see what icons, features, atoms, typography, and colors are included, run the commands below.

npm i
npm run storybook

• In the storybook UI, select a component and view the controls tab to checkout available props.
• The */stories.svelte files are great examples for how to use each component.

Shadcn Notes

• Some components are difficult to customize from scratch, leading us to use the Shadcn library.
• You can view these components in lib/shadcnComponents/ui.

Dev Notes

• Anything that should be exported for the package should be in src/lib.
• Any components that you wish to export must be exported in index.ts.

Package Testing

1. Build the /dist.

npm run build

2. Create pack.

cd dist
npm pack

3. Install local package into a new project.
   • Navigate to a new Svelte project.
   • Follow the installation steps.
   • When installing the package, remember to use the local version you just created by copying the path to the .tgz file or using npm link.
