Updated Ruby code for Asset Helper Plugin

[claytonjbarnette]

Ruby Plugin Code Updated :

Preview

• File: /plugins/asset-helper.rb
• Added code to copy over individual files from the node_modules/@uswds/uswds/dist/css/ folder of the @uswds npm package.
• The asset-helper.rb already copies over entire directories, but did not copy individual files from the @uswds/uswds/dist/css/ folder.

Note: This copying of file happens automatically with every build of the site, simply making this manual process automatic to aid in updating the @uswds package when a new version is released.

• The script copies the following files:
  • node_modules/@uswds/uswds/dist/css/uswds.css
  • node_modules/@uswds/uswds/dist/css/uswds.min.css
  • node_modules/@uswds/uswds/dist/css/uswds.min.css.map
• to the /assets/css/ folder on the site.
• Now when a new version of the USWDS is released, the manual process of copying .css, min.css, and .min.css.map files is now automatic. happening once the site builds.
• This was a manual process, the original helper added in the cloud.gov Ruby upgrade did not copy these files.
• Comments added for clarity of update and function use.

Possible Noticeable Improvements:

• Better component functionality.
• Cleaner fonts and icon.
• Small formatting adjustments may be more visible after a USWDS update.
• a tighter integration of USWDS across the entire site.

No real visual changes to point to, but this should help the site function and build better relative to USWDS.
