#How to use

Clone this repo and then in command line type:

• npm install or yarn - install all dependencies
• gulp - run dev-server and let magic happen, or
• gulp build - build project from sources

List of Gulp tasks

To run separate task type in command line gulp [task_name]. Almost all tasks also have watch mode - gulp [task_name]:watch, but you don't need to use it directly.

Main tasks

Task name	Description
default	will start all tasks required by project in dev mode: initial build, watch files, run server with livereload
build:dev	build dev version of project (without code optimizations)
build	build production-ready project (with code optimizations)

Other tasks

Task name	Description
sass	compile .sass/.scss to .css. We also use postcss for autoprefixer and Lost, so feel free to include other awesome postcss plugins when needed
webpack	compile .js sources into bundle file
copy	copy common files from ./src path to ./build path
swig	compile swig templates
nunjucks	compile Mozilla's awesome nunjucks templates
jade	compile jade templates
svgo	optimize svg files with svgo
iconfont	compile iconfonts from svg sources
sprite:svg	create svg symbol sprites (css-tricks)
sprite:png	create png sprites
server	run dev-server powered by BrowserSync
clean	remove ./build folder
list-pages	create index file with links to all project pages

This is a full list of tasks, that we use in our projects, but not all of them should be available in current project. For example, we only use one template engine out of these three [jade, nunjucks, swig]. All available tasks are placed in a folder ./gulp/tasks as separate *.js files. Usually, file name = task name.

Flags

We have several useful flags.

• gulp --open or gulp server --open - run dev server and then open preview in browser
• gulp --tunnel=[name] or gulp server --tunnel [name] - runs dev server and allows you to easily share a web service on your local development machine (powered by localtunnel.me). Your local site will be available at [name].localtunnel.me.
• gulp [task_name] --prod or gulp [task_name] --production - run task in production mode. Some of the tasks (like, sass or js compilation) have additional settings for production mode (such as code minification), so with this flag you can force production mode. gulp build uses this mode by default.

##Other You can also use npm scripts:

• npm run start - same as gulp default.
• npm run build - same as gulp build.
• npm run ghpages to push only ./build folder to gh-pages branch on github (very useful for previews).
• npm run lint - linting javascript with eslint.
• npm run lint-fix - fix as many issues as possible relatives to eslint settings.
