CFPB Design System npm .github/workflows/lighthouse.yml

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's user interface framework and documentation.

Getting Started

Visit the getting started section in the Design System documentation.

Documentation

The Design System's website is available at https://cfpb.github.io/design-system/. It lives in this repository's docs/ directory and is powered by Decap CMS and Jekyll. To edit any page of the website, click the edit button at the bottom right of the page. You'll need to be added as a contributor to this repository in order to authenticate with Decap CMS.

Running the documentation website locally

The project has a dependency on Ruby because it uses Jekyll. If you do not have Ruby installed, you will need to install it. We recommend using RVM. If you don't have admin access to your machine, try these steps:

curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --ruby
brew install openssl
brew link openssl --force
rvm install ruby-3.2.3 -C --with-openssl-dir=$(brew --prefix openssl@3)
rvm --default use 3.2.3
gem install eventmachine -- --with-openssl-dir=$(brew --prefix openssl@3)
bundle install

And then to run the documentation website locally:

git clone https://github.com/cfpb/design-system.git
cd design-system
yarn install
yarn after-install
yarn start

Visit http://localhost:4000/design-system/ to view the site. Editing a page locally will change your local files.

To run Google Lighthouse accessibility tests against your local files:

yarn a11y
