Browser Support

Based on current browser usage statistics Haven Theme supports evergreen browsers and IE11+ see the browserlist file for specifics.

• Note that Haven Theme uses flexbox, if you need to support IE10 or lower significant changes to styles may be requried
• Haven theme uses position: sticky; for the sticky header. This does not work in IE11 but has been deemed as progressive enhancement. A polyfill can be used to make the header stick in IE11 if necessary.

Notable features

• Sticky header - note this feature is not supported by IE11

Theme Configuration

Recommended initializer configuration

While you are able to configure Workarea themes from any initializer it is recommended that you create a new initializer called theme.rb using the following code

Workarea.configure do |config|
  config.theme = config.theme.merge(
    color_scheme: "haven",
    primary_font_family: "poppins",
    secondary_font_family: "pt_serif"
  )
end

This will set your application up with the default configuration options, but allow you to change them easily.

---

Color Schemes

Haven comes with [TODO] color schemes pre-defined for demo and learning purposes.

To change the color scheme in your application, set the color_scheme configuration in your theme initializer to one of the following configurations:

Default:

Workarea.config.theme[:color_scheme] = "haven"

Creating a new color scheme

We will be creating a gem for theme infastructure in the near future that will make this process more developer friendly. In the meantime you can create a new color scheme by:

1. Copying one of the existing color scheme files into your application re-nameing the file,
2. Update the color_scheme config to match the name of your new color scheme file.

Example This will create a sass file called _custom_color_scheme.scss in your host application, please change From your ~/src directory, ensure you have workarea-haven-theme pulled down

cp -i workarea-haven-theme/app/assets/stylesheets/workarea/storefront/theme_config/_haven_color_scheme.scss <your-app-name>/app/assets/stylesheets/workarea/storefront/theme_config/_custom_color_scheme.scss

Font Stacks

Haven Theme includes configurable font-stack functionality!

A developer is able to configure the primary and secondary font stacks using the theme configuration initializer. To change the font stacks in your application set the primary_font_family and secondary_font_family initializer values to one of the font_stacks defined in workarea-haven-theme/config/initializers/theme.rb

Example:

config.theme = config.theme.merge(
  primary_font_family: "poppins",
  secondary_font_family: "pt_serif"
)

The primary_font_family is used for most text throughout the site, including body text, links, buttons, prices, content blocks etc. The secondary_font_family is used for content headings only.

Adding a new font

I recommend using google fonts where possible, the googlefonts webfont helper is a useful tool for downloading webfonts and easily generating @font-face CSS - give it a try!

1. Create a new directory in app/assets/fonts/workarea/storefront/<your_font_name_here>
2. Download woff and woff2 files for the font you want to use.
3. Place your font files in the directory we created in step 1.
4. Create a sass file for you @font-face declarations in /app/assets/stylesheets/workarea/storefront/theme_config/fonts/_<your_font_name_here>.scss
5. Update your theme initializer, adding a new font_stack and setting either the primary_font_family or secondary_font_family

Example configuration for Calibri font stack used as secondary font family:

config.theme[:font_stacks] = config.theme.font_stacks.merge (
  calibri: 'Calibri, Candara, Segoe, "Segoe UI", Optima, Arial, sans-serif',
)

config.theme = config.theme.merge(
  secondary_font_family: "calibri"
)
