Installing dependencies & running up

Gulp Config file

You have a config file located at gulp/config.js that enables you to add thrid-party libraries easily.

SCSS Directories

We are using sass-module-importer so we can import sass libraries just using the npm package name like:

Example

import "bootstrap-sass";

That is the external library fits under one of these categories:

• Set a SCSS/Sass/CSS file on the "main" field of their package.json/bower.json
• Set a SCSS/Sass/CSS file on the "style" field of their package.json/bower.json
• Have a index.css file on the root of their module

However fear not, if your module doesn't fit into those categories you can also navigate to your desired scss or css file like this:

@import "module-name/folder/to/_file.scss";

Script Files

We are using WebpackJS to bundle our script files. There's also ES6 on-demand transpilation and pollyfills.

Also learn more about ES6 here: Babel Overview of ES2015

Example

import $ from "jquery";
import "bootstrap-sass";

We also included the amazing webpack-bundle-analyzer you can fine tweak you JS bundle size if you wish to. Fire it up running this command:

$ npm run debug

Font Files

You can add file paths to fontFiles key, who will move this fonts to the correct folder ./dist/assets/fonts. You can point to specific files or complete directories using wildcards (**/*)

Example

fontFiles: [
  './path/to/bootstrap/fonts/**/*',
  './node_modules/library/font/font.ttf'
]
