The Style gen app

This is stylesheet generator ( .css files ). You pick an input pattern on ColourLovers and provide the ID to app to generate a Bootstrap theme based on pattern chosen.

Install

npm install

Running

npm run start

Test

npm run test

Building a CSS file

• Pick a theme, for now the only one possible is bootstrap
• Visit ColourLovers and grab the ID of a cool pattern
• fire the request with payload like:

POST localhost:3000/build

{
    "patternID": 582552,
    "theme": "bootstrap"
}

The response should be like:

{
    "css": "css/bootstrap582552.css"
}
{ 
    "cssPath": "http://localhost:3000/css/582552",
    "demo": "http://localhost:3000/demo/bootstrap/582552"
}

Then you are able to get the CSS file with : GET localhost:3000/css/bootstrap582552.css

Or point the browser to the demo to have a look on the new CSS.

Deployment

There is not a deployment pipeline set up, but here are some ideas on how I pretend to proceed.
