Prerequisites

The Pattern Lab Node uses Node for core processing and npm to manage project dependencies. You can follow the directions for installing Node on the Node website if you haven't done so already. Installation of Node will include npm.

Installing

Pattern Lab Node can be used different ways. Editions lilke this one are example pairings of Pattern Lab code and do not always have an upgrade path or simple means to run as a dependency within a larger project. Users wishing to be most current and have the greatest flexibility are encouraged to consume patternlab-node directly. Users wanting to learn more about Pattern Lab and have a tailored default experience are encouraged to start with an Edition. Both methods still expect to interact with other elements of the Pattern Lab Ecosystem.

As an edition, the simplest installation sequence is to clone this repository.

mkdir newApp && cd newApp
git clone https://github.com/pattern-lab/edition-node.git
npm install
