A Liferay Theme Tasks hook to automate JavaScript transpiling

Installation

After you created your theme (for example with the Liferay Theme Generator) you can add @smclab/liferay-theme-babel-hook by installing it inside your root folder:

cd my-awesome-theme
# With npm:
npm install --save-dev @smclab/liferay-theme-babel-hook
# Or alternatively with Yarn:
yarn add --dev @smclab/liferay-theme-babel-hook

After installing the desired hook add the following to your Liferay theme's package.json

{
  "name": "my-awesome-theme",
  // ...the rest of your package.json...
  "liferayTheme": {
    "hookModules": [
      "@smclab/liferay-theme-babel-hook"
    ]
  }
}

Configuring supported browsers

This hook lets you specify a list of browsers your project needs to support.

For doing this we use Browserslist.

The list of browsers you want your theme to support can be defined in the package.json or in a .browserslistrc file in your theme's root direcotry.

If you want, for example, to support all the supported browsers supported by Liferay you can use the following file .browserslistrc

last 1 Chrome versions
last 1 Firefox versions
last 1 Edge versions
ie 9
ie 10
Safari 8
Safari 10

or you can add the following to you liferay theme's package.json

{
  "name": "my-awesome-theme",
  // ...the rest of your package.json...
  "browserslist": {
    "browsers": [
      "last 1 Chrome versions",
      "last 1 Firefox versions",
      "last 1 Edge versions",
      "ie 9",
      "ie 10",
      "Safari 8",
      "Safari 10"
    ],
    "cascade": false
  }
}

How it works

This hook will execute babel to your theme's javascript using gulp-babel after it is moved to the build directory.
