A simple development environment using Node.js, Express.js and UIkit. I created this setup to build out html templates and components locally before uploading to Wordpress, which saves me from repetitive remote FTP uploads and browser loading delays. However you can use this as a Nodejs project starter as well.

Installation

Download/clone the github folder directly or use NPM

npm install express-uikit

To start the server. Run command on express-uikit root folder.

npm run dev

Your server is now on localhost:3000

This app uses SASS and compiles automatically from /assets/scss/app.scss to /public/css/style.css on save, so edit from app.scss if you're using npm run dev.

If you are not familiar with SASS and prefer only CSS, run this command instead

npm run basic

which starts the server without messing with app.scss. Then you can edit directly from public/css/style.css instead
