Collection of tools for styling CKAN using NSW Design System

Compatibility with core CKAN versions:

CKAN version	Compatible?
2.9	no
2.10	yes

Installation

To install ckanext-nswdesignsystem:

1. Install it via pip:

   pip install ckanext-nswdesignsystem

2. Add nswdesignsystem to the ckan.plugins setting in your CKAN config file

Usage

When plugin enabled, visit /nswdesignsystem/components URL of the application. It lists implemented components with the code examples.

Components often rely on macros which can be overriden if component requires customization. Check examples if you need the main macros for the component and then look at the macro source, to find out, which additional macros it uses.

Some of components use helper functions defined in the curent extension. Usually these are components that require some default data: collection of links or content. For example, footer macro gets links for upper, lower, and social sections from nswdesignsystem_footer_links helper. Such helpers should be chained to use links that make a sense for the particular portal.

Finally, some macros, like masthead, can be used either as function:

{{ masthead() }}

or using call block:

{% call masthead() %}
    {# additional content for masthead #}
{% endcall %}

Eventually you can override quite low-level part of the macro/helper/template structure, so always keep an eye on changelog. If any of the application parts have backward incompatible changes, it will be mentioned there.
