- To use the dark header option, add the .usa-header--dark class to the <header> element.
- For the close icon in the mobile slideout menu to appear white instead of dark gray replace close.svg with close-white.svg in this line of html <button class="usa-nav__close"><img src="/assets/img/close.svg" alt="close"></button>

How to Use

Like USWDS, NASAWDS has two installation options:

Direct download - Download the .zip file attached to the latest stable release under the assets section. Extract then add the files to your project's code base. For more details see this section in the USWDS developer documentation.
Install using npm - NASAWDS is available as an npm package. To install via npm, follow these instructions, but where it says uswds replace with nasawds. Once installed, you will find the compiled asset files in the node_modules/nasawds/src/ directory.

For more detailed installation and usage instructions see the USWDS developer documentation.

Creating a webpage using NASAWDS

Create an index.html file at the top of your repository
Paste into that file

<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge" />
    <title>My Example Project</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="./assets/css/styles.css" />
  </head>
 <bod>
  <script src="assets/js/uswds.min.js"></script>

</body>
</html>

Go to <a href="https://designsystem.digital.gov/page-templates/">this USWDS page of page templates</a>, find a page template you like, click the 'COMPONENT CODE' button, and copy the HTML code out of the window and into your index.html file between the <body> tags.
Note that the page templates are form an earlier version of USWDS so the relative links to the CSS, JS, and Img files need to be changed. If you used NPM to get the NASAWDS files, you'll want to do a replace all on the index.html file you currently have such that all assets/ are replaced with node_modules/nasawds/src/.
You should now have a nice looking index.html page to start editing from.

Updates

NASAWDS now updates to the latest version of USWDS automagically. (thanks GitHub Actions!)

NASAWDS uses a GitHub Action workflow to check for an updated version of USWDS every 15 days and updates itself automatically with the latest version on the develop branch, and releases a beta pre-release on GitHub and NPM. A two week window is provided for testing. Any issues found should be opened in this repository. After two weeks, if no unresolved issues are present in this GitHub repository, a GitHub Action workflow creates a new stable release on GitHub and NPM and merges develop into master.
