Editing Layouts

The layouts are held in the theme folder currently nav-community-v1. Please review the Hugo documentation for layout template information

Editing Styles

CSS styles can be added/edited in the static/css directory. Most of the main styles are in style.css

Styles are built using sass. To compile the sass run npm run sass

Editing React Components

Some content is loaded dynamically as React Components. If you need to change these, you can watch for changes and build for development by running npm run watch:react.

Before you commit your PR with the changes, you’ll need to run npm run build which will compile the React components for production.

To add a new component simply add the js file to the /react/components/ directory. All files in this directory are considred entry points and are bundled by webpack. If you write sub components which aren’t entry points, add them to the /react/components/lib directory instead. Webpack will put all the dependencies into a common file called vendor.bundle.js. To add your components to the html, just make sure the vendor.bundle.js file is included into the page before your component followed by your component which should both be just before the closing body tag. eg.

...
{{ partial "footer.html" . }}
<!-- React components. -->
<script src="/js/react/vendor.bundle.js"></script>
<script src="/js/react/news-article.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
