The CKSource Samples Framework is a utility package designed to provide a foundational set of LESS stylesheets and Grunt-based build configurations. It aims to create consistent demonstration projects and samples within the CKSource ecosystem, particularly for products like CKEditor. As of its latest version, 1.0.1, the framework primarily leverages older technologies for its build processes, including Grunt for task automation and LESS for CSS pre-processing. Its focus is on providing pre-configured styles and build scripts tailored for internal sample development rather than serving as a general-purpose frontend framework. The package has seen no updates in approximately six years, suggesting it is no longer actively maintained.

CKSourceStyles
// This package provides LESS files (e.g., @import '~cksource-samples-framework/less/base.less';) and Grunt build tasks, not JavaScript modules.
import { CKSourceStyles } from 'cksource-samples-framework';
This package does not export JavaScript symbols or components for direct import into application code. It is a styling and build framework.
SamplesFramework
// The framework's functionality is accessed through its LESS files and by running its Grunt tasks defined in a Gruntfile.js.
const SamplesFramework = require('cksource-samples-framework');
Attempting to `require()` this package in CommonJS will likely return an empty object or a non-functional reference, as its primary content is not a Node.js module API.
FrameworkConfiguration
// Configuration for the framework's build process is typically defined within a project's `Gruntfile.js` and `package.json` scripts.
import type { FrameworkConfiguration } from 'cksource-samples-framework';
TypeScript type imports are not available as this package does not provide a public TypeScript API or declaration files for runtime use.

Demonstrates how to configure a Gruntfile.js to compile LESS files, importing styles and variables from `cksource-samples-framework`.

/* Gruntfile.js - Example for integrating cksource-samples-framework */ const path = require('path'); module.exports = function(grunt) { // Ensure a 'src' directory with a 'style.less' for compilation exists grunt.file.mkdir('src'); grunt.file.write('src/style.less', ` // Import core framework styles.

Debug
Known issues
deprecatedThis framework relies on older build tooling (Grunt) and a less commonly used CSS pre-processor (LESS). Modern frontend projects typically use bundlers like Webpack or Vite with Sass or PostCSS, which may require significant refactoring to integrate this framework's assets and build process.
fix
Consider manually extracting and adapting necessary LESS styles into your modern build pipeline, or replace them with actively maintained alternatives.
affects: >=0.1.0
gotchaThe package has not been updated for approximately six years (since 2020), indicating it is effectively abandoned. This means no new features, bug fixes, or security patches will be released. Using this package in new projects is discouraged due to potential compatibility issues with newer environments or dependencies.
fix
Evaluate if the specific LESS styles or patterns are critical. If so, consider forking the repository for custom maintenance or porting the relevant styles to an actively supported framework.
affects: >=1.0.1
gotchaThe framework's primary utility is providing LESS stylesheets and Grunt build configurations. It does not export JavaScript modules or components for direct `import` or `require` in application code, which can be a common misconception for AI agents and developers.
fix
Focus on integrating its LESS files into your CSS pre-processing workflow via `@import` statements in your `.less` files, and adapt its Grunt tasks if you are using Grunt.
affects: >=0.1.0
Errors
Common errors & fixes
Error: `grunt` command not found.
Grunt CLI (Command Line Interface) is not installed globally or locally within the project's node_modules.
fix
Install Grunt CLI globally (`npm install -g grunt-cli`) or locally as a dev dependency (`npm install --save-dev grunt-cli`) and ensure it's in your PATH.
NameError: @cksource-color-primary is undefined in ...
A LESS variable from the framework, such as `@cksource-color-primary`, is being used, but the LESS file defining it (e.g., `variables.less`) has not been correctly imported or its path is incorrect in the Grunt LESS configuration.
fix
Ensure all necessary LESS files from `cksource-samples-framework/less` are `@import`ed in your source `.less` files and that the `paths` option in your `Gruntfile.js` correctly points to the framework's `less` directory.
Fatal error: Unable to find Gruntfile.js
The `grunt` command was executed in a directory that does not contain a `Gruntfile.js` file, or the file is named incorrectly.
fix
Create a `Gruntfile.js` in the root of your project directory, ensuring it defines the necessary tasks as demonstrated in the quickstart example.
