Description
Hi, we really like fractal since it is speeding up our processes considerably. But we ran into a major issue that blocks us in the flow: When we handover our our designs to devs, they really struggle integrating the components into the projects and therefore updates to the library do not get propagated into the projects or they are not integrated at all.
The reasons are that the integration section in the guide lacks examples and devs struggle with the @handle in the templates. The devevelopers and us have the same opinion that the @handle for components is a great concept but in order to integrate the components into the sites they would have to do one of:
- re-write all the component so use path includes (e.g. for nunjucks)
- re-implement the adapter to be injectable as standalone extension to nunjucks
- load a full fractal instance and fetch the components somehow so that the nunjucks on the cms side can use it.
- get the adapters somehow to work with the cms
Most of the sites use nunjucks, twick or handlebars and have a tight integration into the CMS in one way or the other. It would be really great if you could describe in the guide how the components could be integrated into an existing site e.g. by using the nunjucks engine of the adapters, or injecting the adapters into a nunjucks instance using e.g. eleventy, or another way how the components could be made available to the production sites.
