Setting Up PatternFly with npm

Step 1: Prerequisites

Before you build up web apps with npm and PatternFly, there are a few things that you have to do first:

Make sure that you have node.js installed.
mkdir myProject && cd myProject
Type npm init to create package.json file.

Step 2: Install PatternFly

npm install patternfly --save

This will download and write to node_modules PatternFly and its dependency libraries.

Step 3: Apply PatternFly in your project

Now we can include the necessary assets by directly specifying their path inside the node_modules folder.

  <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/node_modules/patternfly/dist/css/patternfly.css">
  <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/node_modules/patternfly/dist/css/patternfly-additions.css">
</head>
<body>
  <div class="container">

    <!-- Just enjoy various PatternFly components -->
    <div class="alert alert-success">
      <span class="pficon pficon-ok"></span>
      <strong>Great job!</strong> This is really working out <a href="#" class="alert-link">great for us</a>.
    </div>

  </div>

  <script src="/node_modules/jquery/dist/jquery.js"></script>
  <script src="/node_modules/bootstrap/dist/js/bootstrap.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
