Perch documentation

All CSS changes are made in the pattern library. The build process for the docs then pulls the compiled CSS from the pattern library into the docs build.

To install the pattern library

cd perch-docs/patterns
npm install

and then to run it:

gulp

this should watch for changes and rebuild the CSS.

To install the docs

cd perch-docs
npm install

Once the pattern library is running (and therefore fresh CSS is being built) you can build the docs:

node build

The built output goes into the public folder. You can point a web server at that. The node module http-server is quite useful for this.

sudo systemctl restart apache2 and sudo systemctl restart nginx
