Craft CMS Generator

Starterkit for Craft CMS 2.x (Multi-Environment Configs with HeartyConfig, Gulp, and Bower for Dependencie-Management)

1. Installation

First; install wget, because the generator use it for downloading the actual Craftcms version. Check the wget for mac or wget for windows.

Second; install Yeoman and generator-craftskeleton using npm (I assume you have pre-installed node.js).

npm install -g yo
npm install -g generator-craftskeleton

2. Setup local installation

1. Download this repository on your local machine.
2. Create a local vhost – I prefere MAMP Pro – which is pointing on /public in this project.
3. Create a database with the same name in the config file: /config/config.local.php.
4. Run npm install && bower install.

3. Getting started

Now you’re ready to run the generator:

yo craftskeleton

Run your Development Environment

To start coding you can run gulp in your root directory. If you want to get your production-files just run gulp build.

Add new Development Dependencies

Bower is used for the frontend dependencies. To add new dependencies you have to run following command in your bash:

bower install --save [DEPENDENCIE NAME]
