Metro UI 4 Jekyll

Documentation

Metro UI 4 Jekyll documentation, included in this repo in the root directory, is built and served with Jekyll and publicly hosted on GitHub Pages at http://a-g-f.github.io/metro-ui-jekyll. The docs may also be run locally.

Running documentation locally

  1. If necessary, install Jekyll (requires v1.x).
  2. From the root /metro-ui-jekyll directory, run jekyll serve in the command line.
  • Windows users: run chcp 65001 first to change the command prompt's character encoding (code page) to UTF-8 so Jekyll runs without errors.
  1. Open http://localhost:4000 in your browser, and voilà.

Compiling CSS and JavaScript

Metro UI 4 Jekyll uses Grunt with convenient methods for working with the framework. It's how we compile our code, run tests, and more. To use it, install the required dependencies as directed and then run desired Grunt commands.

Install Grunt

From the command line:

  1. Install grunt-cli globally with npm install -g grunt-cli.
  2. Navigate to the root /bootstrap directory, then run npm install. npm will look at package.json and automatically install the necessary local dependencies listed there.

When completed, you'll be able to run the various Grunt commands provided from the command line.

Unfamiliar with npm? Don't have node installed? That's a-okay. npm stands for node packaged modules and is a way to manage development dependencies through node.js. Download and install node.js before proceeding.

Available Grunt commands:

Build - grunt

Run grunt to run tests locally and compile the CSS and JavaScript into /dist. Uses recess and UglifyJS.

Only compile CSS and JavaScript - grunt dist

grunt dist creates the /dist directory with compiled files. Uses recess and UglifyJS.

Tests - grunt test

Runs JSHint and QUnit tests headlessly in PhantomJS (used for CI).

Watch - grunt watch

This is a convenience method for watching just Less files and automatically building them whenever you save.

Troubleshooting dependencies

Should you encounter problems with installing dependencies or running Grunt commands, uninstall all previous dependency versions (global and local). Then, rerun npm install.
