Craft 3 Boilerplate
-------------------

[](#craft-3-boilerplate)

This is an alternate boilderplate package for Craft 3 CMS projects.

It builds on Pixel & Tonic's canonical [craftcms/craft](https://github.com/craftcms/craft) package and NYStudio's craft setup [nystudio107/craft](https://github.com/nystudio107/craft)

Assumptions Made
----------------

[](#assumptions-made)

- Gulp is used as a the frontend workflow automation tool
- [Tailwind CSS](https://tailwindcss.com/docs/what-is-tailwind) is used as the utility-first CSS framework
- Apache is used as the web server
- Critical CSS is used site-wide
- FontFaceObserver is used for font loading
- Craft-Scripts are used for db/asset synching
- Craft 3 Multi-Environment is used for the Craft 3 multi-environment setup
- Modernizr is used for fallback solutions (e.g. CSS Grid)

Using burkhardmeyer/craft-starter
---------------------------------

[](#using-burkhardmeyercraft-starter)

This project package works exactly the way Pixel & Tonic's [craftcms/craft](https://github.com/craftcms/craft) package works; you create a new project by first creating & installing the project:

```
composer create-project burkhardmeyer/craft-starter PATH -s RC

```

Make sure that `PATH` is the path to your project, including the name you want for the project, e.g.:

```
composer create-project burkhardmeyer/craft-starter craft3 -s RC

```

Then `cd` to your new project directory, and run Craft's `setup` console command to create your `.env` environments and optionally install:

```
cd PATH
./craft setup

```

Finally, run the `nys-setup` command to configure Craft-Scripts & Craft 3 Multi-Environment based on your newly created `.env` settings:

```
./nys-setup

```

That's it, enjoy!

If you ever delete the `vendor` folder or such, just re-run:

```
./nys-setup

```

...and it will re-create the symlink to your `.env.sh`; don't worry, it won't stomp on any changes you've made.
