Question: Gridicons\SocialLogos - How are index.jsx files for gridicon and social-logo generated?

[afsheenirani]

Steps to reproduce

In the gridicon and social-logo component definitions it says that those files are auto-generated and should not be manually updated.

• wp-calypso/client/components/gridicon/index.jsx
• wp-calypso/client/components/social-logo/index.jsx

/* !!! IF YOU ARE EDITING gridicon/index.jsx THEN YOU ARE EDITING A FILE THAT GETS OUTPUT FROM THE GRIDICONS REPO! DO NOT EDIT THAT FILE! EDIT index-header.jsx and index-footer.jsx instead OR if you're looking to change now SVGs get output, you'll need to edit strings in the Gruntfile :) !!! */

As part of #460 I am looking to introduce search/filter capability for Gridicons and SocialLogos and wanted to better understand this bit...

What I expected

I expected to search on the entire codebase for either one of the following three keywords to produce some results in order that I could inspect the logic of how these are generated.

1. index-header.jsx
2. index-footer.jsx
3. Gruntfile

What happened instead

My search turned up no results.

We have a separate repo to manage that, and we still hadn't open sourced yet properly tho. Thanks for raising the question — we'll update here once it's done. :)

@folletto - Thanks for the update...will watch out for any updates to this thread then. Cheers!

The Gridicons repository has just been put live, under a GPL license. :)

@folletto - Thanks for the quick turnaround...really appreciate it!

@folleto - I also don't see SocialLogo in the new repository. I'm guessing that is another repository as well. Any clue why they are kept separate?

[folletto]

Yes, unfortunately that's another one.

The reason it's separate it's because social logos are third party logos, not something we design, and are added in different ways. Sorry about that.

The Social Logos repo is also GPL, though! https://github.com/Automattic/social-logos
