Starter Project
Starter Package is the best starting point for your new project — achieve the maximum score on page speed testing tools.
Starter Package is a package with the latest best practices for your HTML (pug), CSS (Sass), JavaScript (es6), graphic, font, and favicon files.
Version 2
Version 2 is a major update! This version uses the Starter Project CLI for creating a perfect Gulp development environment within a few minutes.
You could use node_modules/.bin/spro start
command, if you want to reinitialize Starter Project CLI. See more at Starter Project CLI docs.
Version 2 is not backward compatible with version 1.
Installation
The package is available on npm. To install Starter Package, create a new directory, enter it and run the following command to install the latest version:
npm install starter-project --save
After the installation, run the following command to set up the project:
node node_modules/starter-project/postinstall.js
Starter Project should have installed source files, Gulp files, and configuration files.
If you want to learn more about the project structure, jump to the Structure section. If you want to learn more about npm packages, jump to the Packages section.
In case you want to update the project structure, you should update the SPRO config. Learn more about SPRO here.
Gulp tasks
You should be able to run Gulp tasks now. In the gulpfile.js
folder you could find all Gulp task files and configuration files.
There are three primary Gulp tasks:
| Task | Description |
| --------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| default
| the task for running all the tasks (useful for more thorough development process) |
| build
| the task for running all tasks with the exit process (useful for Netlify builds, for example) |
| dev
| the task for running only essential tasks (useful for basic development process) |
There are four other Gulp tasks:
| Task | Description |
| ----------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- |
| bumpPatch
| the task for bumping patch versions of the package.json
file |
| bumpMinor
| the task for bumping minor versions of the package.json
file |
| bumpMajor
| the task for bumping major versions of the package.json
file |
| clean
| the task for deleting compiled code. |
Run gulp --tasks
to see all available Gulp tasks.
Configuration
Site configuration is stored in the data/site.json
file. Make sure to update the configuration file per your needs. If you want to access the data from pug templates, make sure to update the src/layout/variables.pug
file with the correct configuration.
If you want more control over your Gulp tasks, you could find the Gulp configuration files for every single Gulp task in the gulpfile.js
folder.
.starter-project.json
is the main Gulp configuration file in which you could find all global settings for Gulp tasks. Avoid editing this file manually. See Starter Project CLI docs for more details.
