The POLITICO Interactives Build Suite

The POLITICO Interactives Build Suite (PIBS) is a collection of libraries that power the creation of our off-platform web pages in 2019. These libraries include:

• @politico/interactive-bin (pib)

• @politico/interactive-templates (pit)

• @politico/interactive-style (coming soon...)

• @politico/interactive-code-snippets

• @politico/eslint-config-interactives

Rather than explain what each one does individually, this guide will focus using them in tandem. (For a more detailed explanation on how to use each, check out their respective docs.)
