Kirby Basic Dev Kit

Forked from kirby-devkit by Julien Gargot + Louis Eveillard. Added markdown-field plugin as submodule. Updated to Gulp 4 and Kirby 3.5.

Kirby Dev Kit

This repo is a starting point to use Kirby 3 with Gulp and Npm. It is made for developers to bootstrap their own projects quickly.

Requirements

You will need Npm and GIT (for the Kirby submodules) to use this project.

Setup a new project

clone this repo (as of Git 2.23),

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/jbidoret/kirby-basic-devkit.git your-project 
cd your-project

Or,

git clone https://github.com/jbidoret/kirby-basic-devkit.git your-project
cd your-project
git submodule update --init --recursive

install npm package from project root:

npm install

Configure with your server/site settings

rename the file in site/config/config.localhost.php to your local development site URL. The environment variable is used to load minified or unminified CSS/JS versions (checkout snippets/header.php and snippets/footer.php).
to be able to use browser sync (live reloading, remote debugging, and a few other nice features), set the localDevUrl variable to the URL of your site in assets/manifest.js.

Compile and sync

To compile all files, for development and production :

gulp

To make it faster, while developing, you can watch for changes to CSS and JS files in the assets folder. This task only compiles development files.

gulp dev

Same as gulp dev with live reload.

gulp sync

A routine has been set to bump version, and publish via git webhook.

gulp publish

Alternatively, use -t arg, to tell whether it’s a patch (by default), minor, major version.
