Styleguide palette CSS

Synopsis

Drupal's Style guide module contains a Style guide palette sub-module, which stores color swatches in the database and displays them on a separate page from the main style guide. However, themers who develop with CSS pre-processors like SCSS or LESS often store colors as variables inside the stylesheets themselves, and these colors may change as the project evolves (meaning that a database update would need to happen each time a color changes).

If you'd prefer to store your colors only in the CSS, this module is for you! Style guide: CSS palette allows themers to add color swatches to the styleguide by implementing hook_styleguide() and associating class names with color names, then adding a few lines of CSS to your theme.

Features

• Add, edit and remove colors without deploying database updates using
  hook_styleguide() and CSS.

Requirements

• The Style guide module.

Roadmap

The 1.x branch is the current stable branch.

I don't currently have any future plans for this module: I just wanted a simple way to output the colors I had defined / derived in SASS/Compass. That being said, I'm open to patches so long as they don't over-complicate the module.

Known problems

I don't know of any problems at this time, so if you find one, please let me know by adding an issue!

Help wanted!

Maintaining a project can be a lot of work, and the current co-maintainers of this project have full-time jobs, are not paid to maintain this module, and maintain a few other projects besides this one.

More co-maintainers to help triage issues, test patches for regressions, and add features would be greatly appreciated and would help us to resolve issues faster! If you are interested in becoming a co-maintainer, please open an issue asking to become one!

Similar projects and how they are different

• The Style guide project contains a Style guide palette sub-module which allows a site builder to store color swatches in the database. However, this module takes a fundamentally different approach to achieve the same goals.

Dependencies

This module does not depend on an external service (e.g. SaaS) to be fully functional.
