Pattern Importer

A node-based script for importing patterns, following the Pattern Library model.

THIS IS POC CODE

but...we can still make it work by following these steps for Atlas:

1. Install Atlas using the yeoman generator

2. Add the pattern-importer as a node module:

   npm install git+ssh://git@github.com:pattern-library/pattern-importer.git
   

3. Add the pattern-library as a bower dependency:

   bower install git@github.com:pattern-library/pattern-library.git
   

4. Create a new gulp file ./app/_gulp/pattern-import.js

5. Add the following code to pattern-import.js:

   /**
   * @fileOverview Uses Gulpjs to grab html patterns
   *
   * @author Scott Nath
   *
   * @requires NPM:gulp
   * @requires NPM:js-yaml
   * @requires /gulp/config.js
   */
   'use strict';
   var gulp = require('gulp'),
   print = require('gulp-print'),
   patternImporter = require('pattern-importer');
   var pattFiles = ['./app/bower_components/pattern-library/patterns/**/pattern.yml'];
   gulp.task('pattern-import', function() {
   console.log('-------------------------------------------------- DEVELOPMENT: GRABBING HTML PATTERNS');
   return gulp.src(pattFiles)
   .pipe(print())
   .pipe(patternImporter());
   });
   

6. Import the patterns on the command line with:

   gulp pattern-import
   

7. Find your imported patterns in ./app/_patterns
