This is the source code repository for the USPTO UI Design Library. This source code generates the documentation, CSS, and other resources. The generated site is then pushed to the gh-pages branch.

See our CONTRIBUTING.md file for contribution guidelines.

If you want to build and run the documentation locally, here's what you need to do:

You will first need to have Node.js installed. Node.js powers the popular front-end build and dependency management tools Grunt and Bower.

Once Node.js is installed, ensure you have Grunt and Bower installed globally with:

npm install grunt-cli -g
npm install bower -g

Then install the project's build and front-end dependencies with:

npm install
bower install

Run the project with Grunt:

grunt serve

This processes the content Markdown files, LESS files, and starts a local server.

To test the distribution build, do:

grunt serve:dist

To build a draft version for distribution, do:

grunt build

To build a release version, do

grunt release

which ouputs to:

docs/dist/{version}/
docs/dist/draft/
docs/dist/
