Recommended / Required Additional Plugins

This plugin contains blocks that are constructed with the use of Advanced Custom Fields Pro.

• The ACF Pro plugin is also required by the Pitchfork theme.

Plugin updates can optionally be managed from the admin dashboard through the use of Git Updater.

Includes

This plugin leverages the following libraries for functionality delivered within certain blocks.

• This plugin loads a copy of the SASS files from the Bootstrap 4 library within the ASU Unity design kit. It includes only the design tokens for easier SASS references and expects that the theme will load the remainder of the required BS4 files.

• The breadcrumb block is an ACF wrapper for the Hybrid Breadcrumbs composer-based assset for including breadcrumbs.

• The sidebar block makes use of a custom ACF field group for menu selection which can be found within the ASU Engineering's GitHub organization.

• Several blocks now also take advantage of a dedicated ACF field for picking an icon from the Font Awesome library. This field is provided by the ACF Font Awesome Field plugin which is now a recommended plugin for the Pitchfork theme.

Development

• Run npm install and composer install prior to local development.
• SASS and JS compile & watch tasks are triggered via Gulp WP and npx gulp-wp from the project root.
