[Web Components Template] Enable base stylesheet and page specific assets directory that houses SCSS partial and images

proeung commented 3 years ago

The problem

While developing the landing page for Watson Orchestrate, we realized that there are additional styles that are needed in order for us to assemble a landing page that matches the design.
Here's an example of the added styles that we've implemented for the Watson Orchestrate Landing page (https://github.ibm.com/Putra-Bonaccorsi/web-components-for-ei/blob/master/src/assets/scss/app.scss).
This feature allows adopters to easily build and contribute out boilerplate templates that can be used within the ibm.com EI content ecosystem and makes this project the go-to place to adopt landing page designs (eg. Explainer, Solution, etc) for different products.

The solution

Enable a /assets directory within each template page (eg. /src/pages/page2/assets)
Adjust the current Webpack configs to watch, live-reload, and build the assets.

@proeung Is this a temporary solution until AEM is in place?

proeung commented 3 years ago

@RobertaJHahn Not particularly. This is just an improvement ticket that allows adopters like myself (HC) to utilize this template application and be able to define specific add-on styling that's needed on a particular page template. This work is something that my team can help contribute back, but certainly not a high priority.

Linda asks that Brittany and Shaun are looped into the discussions to avoid confusion and ensure the work fits in with their strategy. Putra will do this and comment with the result into this issue.

Following up with @jwitkowski79 and Annmarie Avila to see if this is something the team would like to continue with.

@proeung the last message posted on this issue is Sept 22. Do you have any news? Can we close?

proeung commented 2 years ago

@RobertaJHahn There's no update regarding this issue. I think we can move it to the "Icebox" pipeline for now and revisit it in the new year.
