https://github.com/ebiwd/EBI-Framework/tree/v1.1-lite#ebi-framework-lite-version

You are looking at a lite version that includes less support for the EBI Pattern Library but will also more easily support legacy sites or sites using another framework, such as Bootstrap.

If you can use the main version of the EBI Visual Framework that is the recommended path.

● The Foundation Framework has been much trimmed (by roughly 1,300 lines or 30%), removed:

o Forms

o Tables

o Typography

o A plethora of components

● Foundation JS

o No dropdown menu

o Removal of EMBL-EBI dropdown nicities

● foundationExtendEBI.js has been emptied, that means:

o No value add scripts for responsive tables, filtering

New branch: v1.1-lite

• Code is being used in prod environments• Focus on bug fixes and refinements (support

mode)• Start planning for v1.2 (flexbox, Foundation 6.3)• Move focus to Pattern Library, Icon Fonts
