# GOV.UK Design System

This repository contains the code for the GOV.UK Design System website. To find the code we provide for reuse by services, go to the [govuk-frontend repository](https://github.com/alphagov/govuk-frontend).

## Run locally

You'll need [Git](https://help.github.com/articles/set-up-git/) and [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/) installed to get this project running.

Note: You will need the [active LTS (Long-term support)](https://github.com/nodejs/Release#release-schedule) Node.js version for this project (as specified in [.nvmrc](./.nvmrc))

### Fork repository (optional)

If you're an external contributor make sure to [fork this project first](https://help.github.com/articles/fork-a-repo/)

### Clone repository

```shell
git clone [email protected]:alphagov/govuk-design-system.git # or clone your own fork

cd govuk-design-system
```

### Using nvm (optional)

If you work across multiple Node.js projects there's a good chance they require different Node.js and npm versions.

To enable this we use [nvm (Node Version Manager)](https://github.com/creationix/nvm) to switch between versions easily.

1. [install nvm](https://github.com/creationix/nvm#installation)
2. Run `nvm install` in the project directory (this will use [.nvmrc](./.nvmrc))

### Install npm dependencies

```shell
npm install
```

### Start a local server

This will build sources, serve pages and watch for changes.

```shell
npm start
```

## Build

Build `./src` to `./build`

```shell
npm run build
```

## Run the Sass linter

We are using the tool [stylelint][stylelint] to lint the Sass files in
`source/stylesheets`. You can run the linter from command line by running:

```shell
npm run lint
```

[stylelint]: https://github.com/stylelint/stylelint

## GOV.UK Frontend packages

Design System consumes the [GOV.UK Frontend](https://github.com/alphagov/govuk-frontend) package via [NPM](https://www.npmjs.com/).
This is defined in the [package.json](package.json) file.

---

## Continuous integration

When changes are pushed to GitHub, [Github Actions][github-actions] will:

- run the tests
- lint the Sass stylesheets in `source/stylesheets`
- run the `npm run build` command to ensure that the site can be generated

If any of these fail, this will be reported in the GitHub status checks
interface.
