VaCommon

This includes generation of header and footer, as well as the assets for vets.gov, such as javascript, scss, images, fonts.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'va_common'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install va_common

Usage

For the stylesheets, include this in the application.css file

*= require va_common_main

For the js, include this in the application.js file

//= require va_common_main

Your primary layout (likely application.html.erb) should have a block that looks something like this:

<%= render 'va_common/main' %>

You may also include va_common/header and va_common/footer separately.

IMPORTANT: Rails must be restarted after installing this gem to ensure the search paths for partials are found.

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake false to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
