Html-kit is a nodejs build script to give plain html superpowers. It adds:
- html includes - you can now simply include other HTML files/partials into your index.html
- html components - each partial can contain css and js which is split out into separate components.css and components.js files. So you can use html, css and js in one file.
- live preview and hot reload - Html-kit comes with a built-in webserver and automatically reloads every time you make changes
Take a look at src/index.html and src/components.html to see how (simple) it all works.
To include a file:
{{include "components/my-component.html"}}
You can download this repo, and use it as the basis for your new project, or you can use Degit to download the files to your current working directory:
npm install -g degit
degit https://github.com/dashpilot/html-kitTo run it:
npm install
npm run dev
This will start a dev server at localhost:3000 and will watch your src folder for changes.
