How to use in your project

We recommend installing the package using node package manager (npm).

Install

To install your own local copy of the package follow these steps:

1. Ensure you have node.js installed. We recommend using the latest Long Term Support (LTS) version, or a minimum of version 8.10.0.
2. Run the command npm install @scottish-government/design-system in your chosen directory. This will install the project and its dependencies.

Run tasks

Once installed the following tasks can be run:

Build production files

These are the optimised CSS, JavaScript files and static assets that should be included in your project.

Run:

npm run prepack

This will compile the various files and conduct a series of automated tests and update the contents of the /dist directory with the newly generated files.
