Gulp build

Version 1.3.3

This repository will be useful if you are going to build a small-medium tier project and you want to write your frontend in Typescript or modern Javascript with SCSS styling.

Gulp config fits very good with Wordpress project. You don't have to deal with Webpack and you can start development quickly.

1. Open terminal.

2. We need to start a project, step into desired directory and execute:

npm init

3.Install gulp-cli if you don't have one:

npm install -g gulp-cli

4. Install required packages (copy as one line):

npm install --save-dev [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] @babel/[email protected] @babel/[email protected] @babel/[email protected] @babel/[email protected] @babel/[email protected] [email protected] [email protected] @typescript-eslint/[email protected] @typescript-eslint/[email protected]

5. Configure gulpfile.js, gulp-build.js. You can change paths to files, folders. Add different TS or JS files to separate compiling.

6. Use available Gulp tasks to build your frontend project.

/**

 */

Known caveats:

JS files are broken during 'build' task.

Solution:

If you have JS files that should be compiled and you want to copy all other JS files from that folder or subfolders that is being watched you will see broken files. Please put all the files that should only be copied to dist folder in a separate folder. The best thing is to put all the libraries with all their files into 'libs' folder and after that copy it to the dist.
