Package managers

Pull in ‘s source files into nearly any project with some of the most popular package managers. No matter the package manager, kimsq-rc will require a Sass compiler, Autoprefixer, and postcss-flexbugs-fixes for a setup that matches our official compiled versions.

Heads up! Not all package managers have the v1 alpha published yet, but we should have them up shortly!

npm

Install kimsq-rc in your Node powered apps with the npm package:

$ npm install kimsq-rc@1.0.0-alpha.3

require('kimsq-rc') will load all of kimsq-rc’s jQuery plugins onto the jQuery object. The kimsq-rc module itself does not export anything. You can manually load kimsq-rc’s jQuery plugins individually by loading the /js/*.js files under the package’s top-level directory.

kimsq-rc’s package.json contains some additional metadata under the following keys:

  • sass - path to kimsq-rc’s main Sass source file
  • style - path to kimsq-rc’s non-minified CSS that’s been precompiled using the default settings (no customization)

RubyGems

Install kimsq-rc in your Ruby apps using Bundler (recommended) and RubyGems by adding the following line to your Gemfile:

gem 'kimsq-rc', '~> 1.0.0.alpha1'

Alternatively, if you’re not using Bundler, you can install the gem by running this command:

$ gem install kimsq-rc -v 1.0.0.alpha1

See the gem’s README for further details.
