Setup

Before you begin, check out this overview of PatternFly to get familiar with the basic elements of the design system.

Install a package manager

Install a package manager before using the PatternFly libraries.

• Use npm
• Use Yarn

Start with PatternFly React seed

If you want to start with your existing project, skip to Install and configure PatternFly React.

PatternFly React seed is an open source build scaffolding utility. It gives developers a jump-start when creating new projects that will use PatternFly.

1. Fork the project

• TypeScript: Fork and clone the PatternFly React Seed project.

• JavaScript: Fork and clone the JavaScript branch of the PatternFly React Seed project.

  For more information about how to fork and clone a repo, view GitHub Help.

2. Install the project

   Follow the steps outlined in the PatternFly React Seed README to install.

Install and configure PatternFly React

• Using npm, run the following command to install:

  npm install @patternfly/react-core --save
  

  OR

• Using yarn, run the following command to install:

  yarn add @patternfly/react-core
  

  Once the library is installed, use the specific setup instructions for that library to access the components it contains. These can be found in the readme for each library.

Configure PatternFly styling

PatternFly uses the @patternfly/react-styles package as a translation layer to reference the styles contained in the PatternFly HTML/CSS library. When developing with Patternfly React, include the following import at the base level of your application to pull in PatternFly's styling:

import '@patternfly/react-core/dist/styles/base.css';

Importing CSS directly from the PatternFly HTML/CSS library while using PatternFly React may result in duplicated stylesheets in the browser as PatternFly React already pulls in styles internally via @patternfly/react-styles.

Contribution guidelines

All React contributors must first be PatternFly community contributors. If you're already a PatternFly community contributor, check out the React contribution guidelines to make React contributions.
