storefront-kit

patterson-storefront

Patterson e-commerce storefront UI kit (pattern library v5.7.2 shell), switchable between Dental and Veterinary brands: utility bar, search, category nav + flyouts, hero, featured products, manufacturers, rewards, footer.

What this plugin ships

Everything lives under ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/ds/, laid out exactly like the Patterson design-system source tree, so every relative reference inside the files (../../styles.css, ../../assets/brand/…, ../../_ds_bundle.js) resolves without edits.

Scaffolding workflow

1. Copy the snapshot into the user's project, preserving the tree:

   cp -R "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/ds" ./patterson
   

   If the project already has a patterson/ design-system folder from another Patterson plugin, merge instead of duplicating — only add the subfolders that are missing.

2. The working entry point is then patterson/ui_kits/storefront/index.html.

3. Edit CONTENT in place; keep the structure, class names, and token usage intact. Never inline raw hex colors — use the CSS variables.

4. Open the entry file in a browser (or a static server) to preview.

Contents

• ds/ui_kits/storefront/ — index.html + StoreHeader.jsx, StoreHome.jsx, StoreFooter.jsx, brands.js (Dental/Vet config), icons.jsx
• plus ds/styles.css, ds/tokens/, ds/assets/, ds/_ds_bundle.js

Kit notes

• brands.js drives the Dental ↔ Veterinary toggle (names, nav categories, accent usage) — extend it rather than hard-coding brand strings.
• Keep the storefront chrome order: utility bar → logo+search row → category nav with flyouts → page content → footer.
• Product cards use the standard Card recipe (10px radius, hairline border, hover lift).

Patterson brand quick reference

• Brand: Patterson Companies, Inc. — oral (dental) & animal health distribution. Since 1877. Promise: "Trusted Expertise. Unrivaled Support."
• Colors: Navy #003767 (primary), Sky #00A8E1 (accent, hovers, stats). Secondary blue #147EC2. Tertiary green #7BC24D, teal #00817D, purple #522E91 — data/infographics only, never page chrome. Body gray #58585B, light gray #ECECEC.
• Type: Proxima Nova (licensed; woff2 subset bundled), Figtree as free fallback. Bold navy headlines, tight tracking; cool-gray body at 1.6 leading; big sky-blue stats. UPPERCASE letter-spaced eyebrows.
• Shape: Pill buttons (navy, shifts to sky on hover), 10px card radius, soft navy-tinted shadows, 3px sky focus ring.
• Voice: Confident, warm, plain-spoken. "We" for Patterson, "you" for the customer. Short declarative sentences. Numbers as proof points. Never use emoji.
• Motion: Restrained, 120–320ms, no bounces, no infinite loops.

All of this is encoded as CSS custom properties in ds/tokens/*.css (linked via ds/styles.css). Always style with the --pat-*, --surface-*, --space-*, --fs-*, --shadow-* variables rather than raw hexes.
