Namespaces

Component namespaces mirror the namespaces in CivicTheme library as defined in civictheme.info.yml.

CivicTheme defines two sets of namespaces: atomic component namespaces and civictheme atomic namespaces.

CivicTheme namespace definitions

components:
  namespaces:
    ct-base:
      - components/00-base
    base:
      - components/00-base
    ct-atoms:
      - components/01-atoms
    atoms:
      - components/01-atoms
    ct-molecules:
      - components/02-molecules
    molecules:
      - components/02-molecules
    ct-organisms:
      - components/03-organisms
    organisms:
      - components/03-organisms
    ct-templates:
      - components/04-templates
    templates:
      - components/04-templates
    ct-pages:
      - components/05-pages
    pages:
      - components/05-pages

Sub-theme namespaces

Any sub-theme of CivicTheme must implement the following component namespaces (note how they are also contained in civictheme.info.yml). These namespaces allow the overriding of CivicTheme components.

components:
  namespaces:
    base:
      - components/00-base
    atoms:
      - components/01-atoms
    molecules:
      - components/02-molecules
    organisms:
      - components/03-organisms
    templates:
      - components/04-templates
    pages:
      - components/05-pages

The CivicTheme namespaces (ct-base, ct-atoms, ct-molecules etc.) are used to provide access to the unaltered CivicTheme namespaces so the original civictheme component can be extended and then overridden by a sub-theme.
