pattern-lab/general

Hi, we're trying to customise the styleguide side of our pattern lab created design system in a couple of very small ways (change the page title to start with). We've tried the uikit-workshop and uikit-bare but the page title seems to get overridden on build. We're changing the index.html inside the styleguide folder, and 00-head files.

Hi @hannah-bourke-tw,

the easiest for some simple content changes like this is to use the standard uikit-workshop „as is“ and configure the provided options within your PL installation themselves.

To change either the style guides pagetitle (<title> tags content) or the label displayed next to the logo within the style guide bar (left or top), you could do the following:

• Pagetitle: Edit the entry "title" within the file /source/_data/data.json
• Label next to the logo: Edit the entry theme.logo.text within the file /patternlab-config.json file:

  (…)
  "theme": {
    "color": "light",
    "density": "compact",
    "layout": "vertical",
    "logo": {
        "text": "Patternlab",
  (…)

Changing the files content out of https://github.com/pattern-lab/patternlab-node/tree/dev/packages/development-edition-engine-handlebars/source/_meta directly would lead to difficulties on doing updates etc., so it's better to use the variables provided in there like {{ title }}
And you've additionally even already identified correctly that the contents out of styleguide are being generated with every build, which even also leads to the previous suggestion on using the configuration options and variables provided instead.
