Usage

1. Setup

Make sure Ruby is installed (on Mac OS Ruby is installed by default) and create a file named Gemfile in your project’s path:

source 'https://rubygems.org'
gem 'livingstyleguide'

Add to the plugin to your dependencies in your package.json:

{
  "dependencies": {
    "broccoli-livingstyleguide": "^0.1.0"
  }
}

Install dependencies via command line:

bundle
npm install

Assuming you have a stylesheet called app/styles/app.scss (as Ember CLI does) add this your Brocfile.js:

var LivingStyleGuide = require('broccoli-livingstyleguide');
var lsg = LivingStyleGuide(['app'], 'styles/styleguide.lsg', 'assets/styleguide.html');
module.exports = lsg;

Ember CLI

For ember-cli, you have to manually install broccoli-merge-trees: npm install broccoli-merge-trees --save-dev and change your ember-cli-build.js as follows:

var EmberApp = require('ember-cli/lib/broccoli/ember-app');
var mergeTrees = require('broccoli-merge-trees');

var LivingStyleGuide = require('broccoli-livingstyleguide');
var lsg = LivingStyleGuide(['app'], 'styles/styleguide.lsg', 'assets/styleguide.html');

module.exports = function (defaults) {
    var app = new EmberApp(defaults, { });

    return mergeTrees([app.toTree(), lsg]);
};

2. Create a file app/styles/styleguide.lsg containing

source: 'app.scss'
title: 'My Living Style Guide'

3. Write documentation for each module app/styles/partials/_buttons.md (to describe _buttons.scss in the same folder)

Buttons
=======

```
<button class="button">Example button</button>
```

```
<button class="button -primary">Example button</button>
```

4. Open the generated dist/assets/styleguide.html

Make sure to check out the documentation for writing examples and learn how to display colors from variables, use template languages, and helper functions.
