Paragon CLI: install-theme

Adam Stankiewicz

[inform] We recently released a new Paragon CLI. It comes with a single command to start: paragon install-theme

Allows consumers to install and use a custom @edx/brand aliased NPM package during local development without risking modifying/committing changes to the default installed @edx/brand-openedx package.

Example:

{
  "scripts": {
    "build:with-theme": "paragon install-theme && npm build",
    "start:with-theme": "paragon install-theme && npm start",
  }
}

Next steps:

• https://github.com/openedx/frontend-template-application/pull/641

• Documentation in Paragon README

• Present/inform at 2U’s Solution Review

• Present/inform at FWG.

• Inform in various Slack channels (in Open edX and internal 2U Slack channels).

Future CLI ideas:

Our roadmap includes:

• Porting over existing CLI tools into the new Paragon CLI as additional commands.

  • Component generator

  • [design tokens] SCSS variables → CSS variables migration

• Tracking Segment events when these CLI commands are used by consumers.

• Automated migrations for consumers (i.e., dealing with breaking changes).
