Craft's Gulp build tools provide easy package management and production deployment for any type of web application
that also comes with powerful asset bundle tools to organize assets structure with custom bundling for production.
Gulp Quick Start
- Download the latest theme source from the Marketplace.
- Download and install Node.js from Nodejs. The suggested version to install is
16.x LTS. -
Start a command prompt window or terminal and change directory to
[unpacked path]/theme/tools/:cd tools/ -
Install the latest NPM:
npm install --global npm@latest -
Install Yarn via the NPM:
npm install --global yarnDon't forget to runyarn upgradeafter every Craft update is released in order to receive newly added or updated 3rd-party plugins.
Usenpm cache clean --forcecommand, if the installation had failed at any step. Retry again from beginning once it's done. -
Gulp is a toolkit that helps you automate your time-consuming tasks in development workflow. To install gulp globally:
If you have previously installed a version of gulp globally, remove it to make sure old version doesn't collide with new gulp-cli:
npm install --global gulp-cliVerify that gulp in successfully installed, and version of installed gulp will appear (npm rm --global gulpCLI version: 2.3.0 Local version: 4.0.2):gulp --versionif you encounter aReferenceError: primordials is not definederror when running gulp in the terminal, you may have an incompatibility between the node version and gulp. Use below command to force install gulp version.
npm install gulp@^4.0.2 -
Install the Craft dependencies in
[unpacked path]/theme/tools/folder.yarnWe recommend usingYarninsteadNPMfor the Craft dependencies setup.Yarnsupports nested dependencies resolutions inpackage.jsonwhere specific version of sub dependacies are required such asresolutions: { "gulp-dart-sass/sass": "1.32.13" }. -
The below command will compile all the assets(sass, js, media) to
assets/folder:gulpIf you had any error at this step during compilation. Try to updategulpto the latest version.npm install --global gulp-cli -
Start the localhost server:
gulp localhostKeep the console open. Open this link to runhttp://localhost:8080/. It will take a few seconds for the build to finish. To stop a localhost environment, pressCtrl+C.
