Adding New Patterns

Adding new patterns to the PHP version of Pattern Lab is simply a matter of adding Mustache templates in the appropriate pattern type and pattern sub-type directories under source/_patterns. For example, let's add a new pattern under the pattern type "molecules" and the pattern sub-type "blocks". The source/_patterns/01-molecules/02-blocks/ directory looks like:

00-media-block.mustache
01-headline-byline.mustache
02-block-hero.mustache

If we want to add a new pattern we simply tack it onto the end:

00-media-block.mustache
01-headline-byline.mustache
02-block-hero.mustache
03-new-pattern.mustache

The numbering controls where the pattern will show up in the navigation so if you need it to show up higher in the navigation you can reorganize it.
