WCMS styles, files & templates

This repo contains the assets to manage the look and feel of the campus WCMS websites.

Setting up for development

1. Fork and clone this repository locally
2. Install node and npm by downloading the installer from nodejs.com or with Homebrew
3. Run npm install in the project root to install all node dependencies
4. Run npm run preview
   • This fetches the HTML content from several live sites and saves them locally for testing.
   • img, link, and script tags are updated to point to local resrouces.
5. Run npm run dev
   • This starts Laravel Mix and builds the Sass files into ucsc.css.
   • It copies the javascript and image files into their proper location in the dist/ folder.
   • It runs a localhost server and opens the site in a browser window.

Deployment

This repo is connected to Netlify. Each commit to the master branch (via pull request) will trigger a build and deploy to webassets.ucsc.edu. The WCMS sites will load the updated stylesheets from that site.

In progress

• Testing:
  • [x] basic comparision
  • automated visual regression
• Bundling javascript dependencies
• SVG sprites for certain icons
• Design System documentation
• Generate cache-busting code for WCMS
