Installation

1. Review the documentation link above for best practices, particularly the Do's and Don't's sections.
2. Fork or download this theme repository.
3. Change all theme file names from including "stanford_starter" to including the machine name of your theme.
4. Run a search and replace throughout the theme files to replace "stanford_starter" with the machine name of your theme.
5. Add any specific brand colors you need (in addition to the decanter colors that are already available) to src/scss/utilities/variables/_colors.scss. See all the colors already available through decanter: https://decanter.stanford.edu/page/brand-design-elements-color/
6. If desired, add font settings if you need to override and use fonts other than decanter fonts ( https://decanter.stanford.edu/page/brand-design-elements-typography/ ) [link], by defining a font library in the themename.libraries.yml file.
7. If desired, add button mixins in src/scss/utilities/mixins/_buttons.scss with your button styles and then reference them and use them in src/scss/theme/_button.scss.
8. If desired, add cta and link mixins in src/scss/utilities/mixins/_cta.scss with your button styles and then reference them and use them in src/scss/theme/_cta.scss.
9. If you want to skin or theme a component, like a paragraph, create a _mycomponent.scss file in src/scss/components folder. Consider using a subfolder like 'cards' or 'banners' if applicable.

Configuration

Nothing special needed. Install, enable, and set as the default active theme.

Developer

If you wish to develop on this theme you will most likely need to compile some new css. Please use the sass structure provided and compile with the sass compiler packaged in this theme. To install:

yarn install

After you've made a change you want to see processed, you can run:

yarn build

This will process scss, js, and asset files, preparing them from the src directory to the dist directory.

yarn watch

This will watch the scss files and compile them upon saving.

GitPod

1. Add your ssh key to GitPod
   1. It is recommended to have a password-less ssh key for simplicity.
      1. ssh-keygen -b 4096, press enter when asked for the password
      2. Add this ssh public key to the necessary services: Acquia, Github, etc.
   2. Get the base64 string of your ssh key files
      1. cat id_rsa | base64 for the private key
      2. cat id_rsa.pub | base64 for the public key.
   3. In GitPod, add the variable named SSH_PRIVATE_KEY with the private key
   4. In GitPod, add the variable named SSH_PUBLIC_KEY with the public key
   5. In Gitpod, add the variable named GITCONFIG with the base64 of your git config: cat ~/.gitconfig | base64
2. Recommended, but not required:
   1. install the GitPod browser plugin
   2. Configure your browser settings for an easier experience: https://www.gitpod.io/docs/configure/browser-settings
3. Open a gitpod workspace with these instructions
