After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.

Introduction

Magento 2 theme created on top of own components library, designed from scratch by SNOW.DOG front-end team following design systems methodology principles.

Demo

Installation

Child theme packages structure

Each theme is built from two packages:

  1. Magento theme
  2. Components library

This leads to 4 packages linked together to create a custom theme based on Alpaca:

  1. Alpaca components
  2. Alpaca theme - depends on Alpaca components
  3. Custom components - depends on Alpaca components
  4. Custom theme - depends on Alpaca theme and Custom theme components

Inheritance of components is solved on Frontools level, it's based on the same rules as in Magento core - files from child overwrite the parent.

Workflow

In the theme, you should keep almost only templates and JS. Do not create any non-magento specific styles inside your theme. Components are designed to be able to reflect your store UI, without having to run Magento instance. Implementing some part of UI directly inside theme will make components preview useless and you will lose all benefits of writing UI in separation.

Workflow exceptions

We don't want to mess with the checkout and product gallery (Fotorama) templates, nor styling, so these two parts are copy-pasted from the SASS Blank theme.
