Hotlinking
You can link to the latest build to add directly into your markup like so, by replacing the x values with the version number you wish to link.

Including Vanilla in your project via NPM
Pull down the latest version of Vanilla into your local node_modules
folder
and save it into your project's dependencies (package.json
) as follows:
npm install --save-dev vanilla-framework
Now ensure that your SASS builder is including modules from node_modules
. E.g. for Gulp:
// gulpfile.js
gulp.task('sass', function () {
return gulp.src('[your-sass-directory]/**/*.scss').pipe(
sass({
includePaths: ['node_modules'],
})
);
});
Please note, that to provide the best browser support you should also include autoprefixer as a build step.
Then reference it from your own Sass files, with optional settings:
// Optionally override some settings
$color-brand: #ffffff;
// Import the theme
@import 'vanilla-framework/scss/vanilla';
@include vanilla;
// Add theme if applicable
If you don't want the whole framework, you can just @include
specific parts - e.g. @include vf-b-forms
.
