Assets


Overview

WP Bones uses Gulp to compile and copy the assets from the resources/assets folder to the public folder. It supports:

  • CSS (Less, Sass)
  • Javascript (ES6, Typescript)
  • ReactJS

Installation

To compile the assets, you need to install the packages and dependencies:

npm install

Package.json

The package.json file contains the scripts to compile the assets.

{
  "scripts": {
    "start": "gulp watch",
    "build": "gulp build"
  },
}

Now you can compile the assets by running:

npm run build

To compile the assets during development, run:

npm run start

All the assets in resources/assets are compiled and copied to the public folder.

Your development source assets:

        • my-styles-1.lessless
        • my-styles-2.scssSass
        • my-script.jsJavascript
        • my-hook.tsTypescript
        • my-react-component.jsxReactJS

Will be compiled and copied to the public folder:

      • my-styles-1.cssCSS
      • my-styles-2.cssCSS
      • my-script.jsJavascript
      • my-hook.jsJavascript
      • my-react-component.jsJavascript

Gulpfile.js

The gulpfile.js in the root folder contains the tasks to compile the assets. Feel free to modify the tasks to fit your needs.
