Ghost Theme Typescript

Typescript is a minimal theme for Ghost.

This theme is also available on:

Production

If you are going to use Typescript directly (without customization).

cd <path-to-ghost-folder>/content/themes/
git clone https://github.com/artchen/ghost-theme-typescript.git typescript

Since Typescript was a private theme used on otakism.org, my blog, there are quite a lot of things hard-coded into the template that you'll need to change. Here is a checklist for (most of) them:

Site logo: assets/img/logo.png
Short text under the logo: partials/header.hbs
Social network: partials/footer.hbs
Search integration: support Google Custom Search Engine, please replace the api key and engine id in assets/js/app.js with yours. If you don't intend to use CSE, please set the corresponding option to false.
Excerpt generation: the theme generates supports  excerpt with front-end regex. If you don't like this feature, please set the corresponding option to false in assets/js/app.js.
Fonts: the default English fonts are from Typekit. If you are using Typekit like me, please replace the embedded Javascript code in default.hbs, else you can delete the code.
Disqus integration: I no longer hardcode the integration code into post.hbs and page.hbs, please copy and paste the following code into Ghost code injection.

<script>  
  (function() {
    var disqus_username = 'YOUR_DISQUS_USERNAME'; // Don't forget to replace
    var d = document, s = d.createElement('script');
    s.src = '//' + disqus_username + '.disqus.com/embed.js';
    s.setAttribute('data-timestamp', +new Date());
    if ($('body').hasClass('post-template')) {
      (d.head || d.body).appendChild(s);
    }
  })();
</script>

Development

If you are going to develop your own features, styles, etc based on Typescript, here is how to set up the development environment.

Clone the repository.

cd <path-to-ghost-folder>/content/themes/
git clone https://github.com/artchen/ghost-theme-typescript.git typescript

Install gulp and npm before proceed.

Install and build the app:

cd ./typescript
npm install
gulp

At this point the development environment should be good to go.

Update

cd <path-to-ghost>/content/themes/typescript/
git pull
