Seeds UI Developer Guide

Migration from Seeds Coat

Important: Seeds UI is replacing Seeds Coat in the Seeds distribution.

• Seeds UI is now the default theme in Seeds distro
• Seeds Coat has been removed from the distribution
• If you want to continue using Seeds Coat, you must download it separately

External Library Integration

Seeds UI automatically loads default styles from an external library:

This external package provides:

• Default styling system - Base styles and components
• Grid system - Bootstrap-compatible layout system
• Responsive mixins - Breakpoint and utility mixins
• Typography system - RFS responsive font sizing

When you run npm install, this external library is automatically installed in node_modules/seeds_ui/ and provides the foundation styles that your subtheme extends.

Creating a Subtheme

Build Commands

Enabling RTL Styling

RTL (Right-to-Left) support is automatically handled by Seeds UI's build system.

Automatic RTL Generation

When you run npm run css, the system:

1. Compiles your SASS to standard CSS
2. Processes with RTLCss to flip directional properties
3. Generates RTL versions with .rtl.css suffix
4. Creates minified versions for production

RTL Output Files

RTL-Specific Styling

For manual RTL adjustments, use direction-specific properties:

Testing RTL

1. Enable RTL language in Drupal (Arabic, Hebrew)
2. RTL stylesheets auto-load based on language direction
3. Test components in both LTR and RTL modes
4. Adjust as needed using direction-specific selectors
