grunt-pattern-lab-component-builder

Automatically Create Pattern Lab Components

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt.

If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

npm install grunt-pattern-lab-component-builder --save-dev

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('pattern-lab-component-builder');

The "pattern_lab_component_builder" task

Overview

In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named pattern_lab_component_builder to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig().

grunt.initConfig({
  pattern_lab_component_builder: {
    colors: {
      options: {
        regex: "^\\$color--.*",
        allow_var_values: false
      },
      src: 'scss/global/variables/_colors.scss',
      dest: 'source/_patterns/00-atoms/01-global/00-colors.json'
    },
    fonts: {
      options: {
        'regex': "^\\$type.*"
      },
      src: "scss/global/variables/_type-sizes.scss",
      dest: "source/_patterns/00-atoms/02-text/02-type-sizes.json"
    },
  },
})

The src is the file that the plugin reads from and infers your Pattern Lab component, which then gets written to dest.
