Magento 2 Frontools
===================

[](#magento-2-frontools)

Set of front-end tools for Magento 2

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- Unix-like OS (please, do not ask about Windows support)
- Node.js [LTS version](https://nodejs.org/en/about/releases/). We recommend using [nvm-sh](https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm).
- Magento 2 project with SASS based theme for example [SASS version of "Blank"](https://github.com/SnowdogApps/magento2-theme-blank-sass)

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

1. Run `composer require bluebirdday/frontools`
2. Go to package directory `cd vendor/bluebirdday/frontools`
3. Run `npm install` or `yarn`
4. Decide where you want to keep your config files. You can store them in Frontools `config` directory or in `dev/tools/frontools/config` (recommended). There is a `setup` task to copy all sample config files from the `config` to `dev/tools/frontools/config` and create a convenient symlink `tools` in the project root. If you want to keep config files inside frontools `config` dir, you have to handle this manually.
5. Define your themes in `themes.json`.

`themes.json` structure
-----------------------

[](#themesjson-structure)

Check `config/themes.json.sample` to get samples.

- `src` - full path to theme
- `dest` - full path to `pub/static/[theme_area]/[theme_vendor]/[theme_name]`
- `locale` - array of available locales
- `parent` - name of parent theme
- `stylesDir` - (default `styles`) path to styles directory. For `theme-blank-sass` it's `styles`. By default Magento 2 use `web/css`.
- `disableSuffix` - disable adding `.min` suffix using `--prod` flag.
- `postcss` - (default `["autoprefixer({ overrideBrowserslist: browserslist })"]`) PostCSS plugins config. Have to be an array.
- `modules` - list of modules witch you want to map inside your theme
- `ignore` - array of ignore patterns

`watcher.json` structure
------------------------

[](#watcherjson-structure)

Check `config/watcher.json.sample` to get samples.

- `usePolling` - set this to `true` to successfully watch files over a network (i.e. Docker or Vagrant) or when your watcher dosen't work well. Warning, enabling this option may lead to high CPU utilization! [chokidar docs](https://github.com/paulmillr/chokidar#performance)

Since the Dart Sass does not have the same set of features as Node Sass, for now we will keep the older version as default.

Optional configurations for 3rd party plugins
---------------------------------------------

[](#optional-configurations-for-3rd-party-plugins)

You will find sample config files for theses plugins in `vendor/snowdog/frontools/config` directory.

- Create [browserSync](https://www.browsersync.io/) configuration
- Create [eslint](https://eslint.org/) configuration
- Create [sass-lint](https://github.com/sasstools/sass-lint) configuration
- Create [stylelint](https://github.com/stylelint/stylelint) configuration
- Create [svg-sprite](https://github.com/jkphl/gulp-svg-sprite) configuration
