Important

Pattern Lab is no longer actively maintained. All repositories, along with the rest of the @pattern-lab ecosystem on GitHub and npm, have been deprecated and archived. The code, releases, and history remain available so the work stays discoverable and forks can continue independently under the MIT license. No new releases, security patches, or issue triage will be performed. [Read the full message](https://github.com/pattern-lab), and thank you.

Data Inheritance Plugin for Pattern Lab
=======================================

[](#data-inheritance-plugin-for-pattern-lab)

The Data Inheritance Plugin allows patterns to inherit data from patterns within its lineage. This means that data from included patterns is merged with the current pattern. The current pattern's data takes precedence.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

To add the Data Inheritance Plugin to your project using [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/) type:

```
composer require pattern-lab/plugin-data-inheritance

```

See Packagist for [information on the latest release](https://packagist.org/packages/pattern-lab/plugin-data-inheritance).

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

After install make sure to generate your site again with:

```
php core/console --generate

```

Disabling the Plugin
--------------------

[](#disabling-the-plugin)

To disable the Faker plugin you can either directly edit `./config/config.yml` or use the command line option:

```
php core/console --config --set plugins.dataInheritance.enabled=false

```
