baseUrl
Note: inline attribute has been updated to embed
Old way:
if config.entry.css.embed
link(rel="stylesheet" href=`${embedPath}` inline)
New way:
if config.entry.css.embed
link(rel="stylesheet" href=`${embedPath}` embed)
add modularCss support. When enabled in the config of package.json it will convert all SCSS/SASS files to its correspondent CSS path.
add baseurl support which can be configured for GitHub.io and custom domain. Check package.json config section for
- deployToGithubIo - (true|false) by default it is set to true and will affect the value of baseUrl when you want to deploy to GitHub.io; You want to set it to false if you want to use customUrl as the value of baseUrl
- customUrl - if you want baseUrl to have a value like http://my-project.codetap.io or any other one;
- githubUrl - if you want baseUrl to have a value like http://github.com/marianzburlea/pug-starter.git or any other one;
In the end you can use baseUrl to prefix your paths like:
link(rel="stylesheet", href=`${baseUrl}/style.css`)
or
a(
title="Is it possible?"
target="_blank"
href=`${baseUrl}/article/nice-weather`
)
or
img(alt="Awesome dog" width="100" href=`${baseUrl}/image/cool-dog.jpg`)
YouTube video tutorials
I want to change those tutorials to new ones using the new techniques.
To help you out even more I've put together some YouTube tutorials:
- Install nodejs, git and github
- How to make a website for free in 3 easy steps 2017
- The nightmare is finally over! HTML5 tutorial on how to build a webpage layout 2017
- Build HTML5 website pain free tutorial for beginners 2017
Starter package for pug (former jade) template based projects.
Note: an boolean option config.render.sourceFileChange has been added to the package.json. The behaviour differs based on the value:
- true - it renders if the source file (pug file) has been changed; This has a much much greater speed when rendering compared to the other option however it's only relevant if you make change to the current file watched by PUG. If you make a change to a file that's extended and resides in a path that contains "_", like a layout one, the change won't be reflected.
- false - it renders if any pug file has been changed and compares the output with the destination file (the HTML generated now with the previous generated HTML). This can be slower when the number of files increases.

or
$ npm install

Usage
To run the project in development mode and open a local server that synchronizes across multiple devices use:
npm start
or
npm run dev
To build the project for production use:
npm run prod
To automatically deploy your project to GitHub pages and make it available at https://[your-username].github.io/[your-project-name] use:
npm run deploy
Style
The project supports both embed and external style sheets. You can have none, one or the other, or both of them.
Single page application style
When you're building a single page app or website, there is no point in having the style sheets loaded from an external file and I'll explain why: the point of loading external style sheets is to allow the browser to cache those files and once you visit another web page of the same website, instead of making another request(s) for the style sheet file(s) to the server and having to download them, if there is no change, the browser will load them from the local drive. In a single page, there is no other page to go to therefore the external file technique doesn't apply.
Multi page application style
In this scenario you can have either both embed and external or just external. The most common scenario is to have only one external style sheet file to be loaded and most of the time that's just fine.
If you want to improve your SEO and user experience even further, I strongly recommend to use a combination of both embed and external. The embed style sheet should only contain the minimum amount of styles for the initial visible part of the page to render. The rest of the styles can be put in the external CSS file.
Auto reset git
If you run npm i, the git history will get reset.
To avoid resetting the git history run npm i --ignore-scripts
