The Proton Design system offers a cohesive and comprehensive foundation for all Proton projects, ensuring a unified design language across applications. In this blog post, we will walk you through the installation process, usage of linting tools, and how to effectively manage the CSS build with a focus on user-friendliness.

How to Install the Proton Design System

Follow these simple steps to get started with the Proton Design system:

  1. Clone the Proton Design project from the repository.
  2. Run the command npm i in your terminal to install the required dependencies.

Utilizing Linting for a Cleaner Code

A well-organized codebase is vital for project maintenance and collaboration. We recommend using the Stylelint extension for Visual Studio Code to take advantage of our linter configuration:

  • Install the extension Stylelint.
  • Make sure to configure it according to your project’s specifications.

Refreshing Your CSS Build

Sometimes, you may need to refresh the CSS build, especially when working on the Android app. Use the command:

npm run build:reset

This command effectively resets and rebuilds your CSS files, providing you with the latest changes and styling in your application.

Documentation for Your Reference

For more in-depth guidance, there is a static documentation website currently available, which will soon be revamped for better user experience. Keep an eye out for updates!

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues during installation or usage, consider the following troubleshooting tips:

  • Ensure Node.js and npm are correctly installed on your machine.
  • Check the console for any error messages and address them as needed.
  • If Stylelint isn’t functioning as expected, verify your configuration settings.
