  • Get the tools mentioned below!
  • Clone our sample SASS repository and study it.
  • Read a typical frontend journey and lets get going!

Your responsibilities

  • Delivering a smooth and pixel perfect drop dead gorgeous front-end for the crazy things our designer think of.
  • Write pretty code and be happy doing it.
  • Think and help the teams on how to be better in ux/design and whatnot.

Your essential tooling

Your typical journey

  • Get Sketch file from a designer
  • Upload to Zeplin for getting measurements and color pallets etc.
  • Begin by making a branch for instance add-profile-page (check our PR guidelines).
  • Copy the SASS structure /w conventions from a existing project or make your own.
  • Add a build pipeline (or copy from existing project).
  • Adapt the components and map colors, and padding’s to vars.
  • Start adding app specific modules.
  • Do the rest of the design, make sure it adheres to SASS lint.
  • Check it in, make sure it builds.
  • Ask for a pull-request from the team.

Your guidelines

  • 2 spaces for tabs via editor config
  • Write your HTML in SLIM where possible.
  • Write your CSS in SASS (the indented version or SCSS) we prefer SASS
  • Use ES6 for javascript
  • Always test your code on multiple devices
  • Use screenshot tooling

How you’ll be reviewed in a pull-request

  • Does the design look good, is it pixel perfect?
  • Is it responsive? Does it scale well across devices?
  • Is the .editorconfig adhered, with 2 spaces and no tabs?
  • Is it following our sass conventions of modules, components etc?
  • Are there no hard coded sizes in paddings?
  • Are there no hard coded colors?
  • Does the naming of the files make sense?
  • No global scopes except for the components?
