# @itrulia/fractal-variant-readme
> Fractal plugin that allows you to create readmes for your variants.

This [Fractal](http://fractal.build/) plugin allows you to create your own `readme.md` files powered by [marked](https://github.com/markedjs/marked) for variants and display them in your design system.

> Please note that this plugin only works for fractal v2!

## Installing / Getting started

To install it you need to require it like this:

```shell
npm install --save @itrulia/fractal-variant-readme
```

This will add the @itrulia/fractal-variant-readme dependency in to your package.json.

Now you can add it to your `fractal.config.js` like this:

```javascript
app: {
    ...
    plugins: [
        ["@itrulia/fractal-variant-readme", {
            gfm: true,
            // or more marked options
        }]
    ]
},
```

In your component directory you can now create new readme files with the following syntax: `readme--VARIANT_ID.md`. e.g.: `readme--primary.md`.


In your `_component.njk` you can now have access to `variant.readme` like this:

```njk
{% if variant.readme %}
    <h3 class="variant__sectionTitle">
        Description
    </h3>

    <div class="variant__readme">
        {{ variant.readme | safe }}
    </div>
{% endif %}
```

inside the variants loop.

## Developing

Here's a brief intro about what a developer must do in order to start developing
the project further:

```shell
git clone https://github.com/Itrulia/fractal-variant-readme
cd fractal-variant-readme/
npm install
```

This will download all dependencies so that you are ready to go.

### Deploying / Publishing

You will need to publish this to the github and npm repository.

To do this you will need to do the following steps:

* As soon as you are done with development (don't forget the tests if necessary please ;) ) please commit your code
* After that you will need to update the version number of the package.json, please do this via the [npm version](https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/version) tool. Don't forget to set the correct version number according to the [SEMVER](http://semver.org/) guidelines.
* Please push your code to master now and set a tag (same version as you set earlier) with a `v` prefix (e.g. `v1.1.0`) and add release notes for what has changed so everyone knows what to do when there are breaking changes and what has changed for them.
* Now you are ready to publish it to the npm repository. You can do this via `npm publish`. Further information can be founde on the official [npm documentation page](https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/publish).

Also always try to improve atleast 1 small thing when you are already there so that over time
