Essence

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
```
gem 'epages-essence'
```
Execute the following command:
```
bundle install
```
Add the following lines to the <head> and <body> of the layout you are going to use (e.g. app/views/layouts/application.html.erb):
```
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <%= stylesheet_link_tag 'essence/beyond', 'data-turbo-track': 'reload' %>
    <%= javascript_importmap_tags 'essence/application' %>
    <%= yield :head %>
  </head>

  <body>
    <%= render template: 'essence/beyond/body' %>
  </body>
</html>
```
Any javascript_import_module_tag must come after the javascript_importmap_tags declaration, that's why <%= yield :head %> is placed after this declaration. See importmap-rails gem.

Component preview

Essence includes a Rails application that uses Lookbook. By running this app, you can preview the components and explore the possibilities that Essence offers.

Currently, the Lookbook app is in an early stage and is still under development. It does not have a preview of all the components but of most of them.

To run the Lookbook app, follow these steps:

Change directory to site, which is the Lookbook project's folder:
```
cd site
```
Start the web server:
```
bin/rails server
```
