Using Pivotal UI on your project (with React)

If you're ready to try PUI with React, follow these instructions!

We're assuming that you have the following setup on your project:

Browserify or Webpack - Our React modules follow the CommonJS module pattern. You will need to use Browserify or Webpack to compile your javascript for use in the browser.
A JSX transpiler - It's easiest to write React code with JSX. You will need a transpiler to convert your JSX code into plain javascript for use in the browser. We recommend Babel.
If these instructions don't make sense to you, don't worry! We're working on a sample project template that we'll publish soon 😁

Run npm init if you don't have a package.json file already.
Install Dr. Frankenstyle. This tool looks at your dependencies (those added with --save, NOT --save-dev), and compiles the CSS required by these packages.
```
npm install --global dr-frankenstyle
```
Install React, if you haven't already
```
npm install --save-dev react
```
Install a PUI module for the components you need. No need to install additional CSS packages. Our React packages tell Dr. Frankenstyle what CSS is needed for each component.
```
npm install --save pui-react-typography
npm install --save pui-react-buttons
```

Run Dr. Frankenstyle to compile your CSS to a folder (we use ./build/ but you can choose whatever makes sense for your project)

dr-frankenstyle <path-to-your-asset-build-folder>
# writes the compiled css to <path-to-your-asset-build-folder>/components.css

Add the compiled css to your html template

<!doctype html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>...</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="<path-to-your-asset-build-folder>/components.css">

  </head>
  <body>
    <!-- ... -->
    <script src="<path-to-your-project's-compiled-javascript-file>"></script>
  </body>
</html>

Write some React!

Javascript:

var React = require('react');
var DefaultH1 = require('@npcorp/pui-react-typography').DefaultH1;
var DefaultButton = require('@npcorp/pui-react-buttons').DefaultButton;

var MyTestPage = React.createClass({
  getInitialState: function() {
    return {showMessage: false};
  },
  
  showMessage: function() {
    this.setState({showMessage: true});
  },

  render: function() {
    return (
      <div className="container">
    <DefaultButton onClick={this.showMessage}>Show Message</DefaultButton>
    { this.state.showMessage ? <DefaultH1>Hello world!</DefaultH1> : null }
  </div>
    );
  }
});

React.render(<MyTestPage />, document.getElementById('root'));

HTML

<!-- ... -->
<body>
  <div id="root"></div>

  <!-- Script tag should be below all DOM elements -->
  <script src="<path-to-your-project's-compiled-javascript-file>"></script>
</body>
<!-- ... -->

Every time you install a new PUI React package, you will need to rerun Dr. Frankenstyle to update your compiled CSS.
```
npm install --save pui-react-alerts
dr-frankenstyle <path-to-your-asset-build-folder>
```
If you're using gulp or grunt or some other task runner, look at the Dr. Frankenstyle docs for how to make this step part of your task workflow.

Using Pivotal UI on your project (without React)

If you're not ready to try React, you can still use the HTML/CSS version of Pivotal UI!

The prefered way to consume Pivotal UI is through NPM, even for Rails projects. Using NPM to install PUI will ensure proper dependency management on your project.

Run npm init if you don't have a package.json file already.
Install Dr. Frankenstyle. This tool looks at your dependencies (those added with --save, NOT --save-dev), and compiles the CSS required by these packages.
```
npm install --save-dev dr-frankenstyle
```
Install the Pivotal UI CSS modules
```
npm install --save pui-css-all
```
If you only want to include a few PUI components in your project, see the instructions below on customizing your PUI build.
Install jQuery and bootstrap.js
```
npm install --save-dev jquery
npm install --save-dev bootstrap
```
These installs must happen after you've installed the PUI module. This ensures you'll get the correct version of bootstrap js.

NB - It's important that you install these modules with --save-dev, because we don't want Dr. Frankenstyle to pick up any CSS from these packages.

Run Dr. Frankenstyle to compile your CSS to a folder (we use ./build/ but you can choose whatever makes sense for your project)

dr-frankenstyle <path-to-your-asset-build-folder>
# writes the compiled css to <path-to-your-asset-build-folder>/components.css

Add the css and javascript files to your html template

<!doctype html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>...</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="<path-to-your-asset-build-folder>/components.css">
    <script src="<path-to-your-project's-root-folder>/node-modules/jquery/dist/jquery.js"></script>
    <script src="<path-to-your-project's-root-folder>/node-modules/bootstrap/dist/js/bootstrap.js"></script>
  </head>
  <body>
    <!-- ... -->
  </body>
</html>

Write some CSS/HTML and enjoy!

<!-- ... -->
<body>
  <div class="container">
    <h1 class="type-brand-1 em-high">Hello world!</h1>
  </div>
</body>
<!-- ... -->

Upgrade PUI frequently
```
npm update pui-css-all
dr-frankenstyle <path-to-your-asset-build-folder>
```
NB - You must rerun Dr. Frankenstyle after you update PUI (or add any additional CSS module).

Customizing your PUI build

If you don't want all of Pivotal UI, you can install only the modules you will need. This will make your resultant CSS smaller! Let's say you're building an app that only has typography and buttons.

Remove the pui-css-all module from your project.
```
npm uninstall --save pui-css-all
```
Add the necessary PUI CSS modules. For this example
```
npm install --save pui-css-typography
npm install --save pui-css-buttons
```
Use the styleguide to determine which modules you need to install. Each component contains module information at the beginning of its docs:

Rerun Dr. Frankenstyle

dr-frankenstyle <path-to-your-asset-build-folder>

Every time you install a new PUI CSS package, you will need to rerun Dr. Frankenstyle.

If you're using gulp or grunt or some other task runner, look at the Dr. Frankenstyle docs for how to make this step part of your task workflow.

Special instructions for Rails users

Legacy - Using Pivotal UI on your project

If you really don't want to use NPM, you can use our compiled PUI monolith. Be warned, you will have to manage updates and dependencies yourself.

Download the latest release.
Unzip the release archive and move the resulting directory into your project.
Link to the css file in your html template to include the styles.
Add a script tag to your html template to use the javascript.
Use the css classes (reference the styleguide for examples and usage)

<html>
  <head>
    <title>...</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="/path/to/release/pivotal-ui.css">
    <script src="/path/to/release/pivotal-ui.js"></script>
  </head>
  <body>
    <p class='type-brand-1'>Hello, world!</p>
  </body>
</html>

You'll need to maintain the structure in the release directory to have fonts and assets work properly. Do not modify the release files directly. If you need a component and you cannot find it in the styleguide, write your own styles and javascript separately. Doing so will make it easier to update to newer versions.

Including SCSS variables and mixins (optional, beta)

If you are building CSS using Sass, you can get pivotal-ui variables and mixins from the pui-css-variables-and-mixins node module.

npm install --save @npmcorp/pui-css-variables-and-mixins

Import the file and use the variables:

@import '<path-to-your-projects-node-modules>/@npmcorp/pui-css-variables-and-mixins/pui-variables.scss';
@import '<path-to-your-projects-node-modules>/@npmcorp/pui-css-variables-and-mixins/mixins.scss';

.bg-special {
  background-color: $brand-1;
}
