Pattern Lab + Drupal 8

Component-driven prototyping tool using Pattern Lab v2 automated via Gulp/NPM. Also serves as a starterkit Drupal 8 theme.

Requirements

Node (we recommend NVM)
Gulp
Composer
Optional: Yarn

Quickstart (Emulsify Standalone)

Emulsify supports both NPM and YARN.

Install with NPM: composer create-project fourkitchens/emulsify --stability dev --no-interaction emulsify && cd emulsify && npm install

Install with Yarn:composer create-project fourkitchens/emulsify --stability dev --no-interaction emulsify && cd emulsify && yarn install

Drupal-specific installation

  1. composer require fourkitchens/emulsify
  2. Enable Emulsify and its dependencies drush en emulsify components unified_twig_ext -y
  3. Optional: Create cloned theme drush emulsify "THEME NAME" (You may need to run drush cc drush to clear the drush cache. Also, you can run drush help emulsify for other available options)
  4. npm install or yarn install

If you're not using a Composer-based Drupal install (e.g. tarball download from drupal.org) installation instructions can be found on the Wiki.

Troubleshooting Installation: See Drupal Installation FAQ.
