It may be useful to run the development docs locally when working on a forked version of semantic, as the docs themselves help in testing out changes to ui components.
+
+
+
Semantic docs are written in DocPad which requires NodeJS.
+
+
Make sure npm does not require sudo to operate, this might cause permissions issues.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+ npm install -g docpad
+
+
+
+ npm install -g grunt-cli
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
It's important to note that all development code exists inside of /node inside the project. So all commands should be run relative to that directory.
+
+
+ cd node
+ docpad run
+
+
+
Docpad should now run an instance of semantic-ui.com locally you can access at http://localhost:9778
+
+
+
+
+
If you are working on fixing a UI element that is part of Semantic, your best bet is to work actively on the file in /src/{type}/{elementname}/ while running a watch script from grunt. This will rebuild the docs after you make changes, so you can see if you have corrected the issue you are fixing.
+
+
To see exactly what this is doing you can check out our commented gruntfile
+
+
+ grunt
+
+
+
The watch task is the default grunt task for Semantic, so you can start it quite simply.
+
+
+
For convenience there is also a separate grunt command for building minified, packaged, and compressed versions of the library.
+
+
+ grunt build

Contributors should read over the coding guidelines for the project. Most importantly, the guide for language, as it is one of the most important parts about Semantic UI.
Semantic is looking for people to help contribute new UI components, and suggest extensions for our core library
- If you have any suggestions for components missing from Semantic which you'd like to see in future versions please add suggestions to our public UI board. The current list of upcoming components, and there current development status can be seen on the contributor UI board.
