Base SilverStripe theme with a webpack build system
===================================================

[](#base-silverstripe-theme-with-a-webpack-build-system)

This webpack install allows you to compile any project / vendor/package.

It uses [symphony encore](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@symfony/webpack-encore) to make it fly!

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

[](#installation)

- Install this to your themes folder as `sswebpack_engine_only` (composer should do this automatically)
- Make sure you are on the latest version of node and npm (you could use nvm for this).
- run `npm install` in the root folder of module.
- See the [`examples-from-root-of-project`](https://github.com/sunnysideup/silverstripe-sswebpack_engine_only/blob/master/examples-from-root-of-project) folder for the files you need to create.
- Expose the dist folder in the public resources folder, using composer, as per usual.
- Browse to the root folder of this module and use the following commands:

Usage
=====

[](#usage)

```
npm run MY_COMMAND --theme_dir=themes/mytheme`

```

OR

```
npm run MY_COMMAND --theme_dir=vendor/myvendor/mypackage/client`

```

Where MY\_COMMAND can be

- `dev` (debug),
- `watch` (develop), or
- `build` (prepare for production).

Good to know
============

[](#good-to-know)

### required structure

[](#required-structure)

- Your theme name can be anything. We use `mytheme` as an example name. You can also use this webpack on vendor packages.
- the `main.js` and `style.scss` show you to include JS and CSS from other parts.
- Add a `themes/mytheme/dist` folder for the final output.
- Add a `themes/mytheme/my_node_modules/` to include other modules (using a package.json file inside that folder). You can also include node modules in `mytheme/src` by adding a `package.json` file, i.e. running `npm init -y && npm install` in the `mytheme/src` folder.

### jQuery

[](#jquery)

- jQuery has been aliased so that you can use jQuery anywhere without importing it.
- jQuery can also be added to the global namespace: `window.jQuery = jquery` (untested).

### Editor File

[](#editor-file)

- There is an option to also include an editor file so that you can add it to your TinyMCE HTML Editor. Run the watch / build command you will see the configurations available.

### including the build files:

[](#including-the-build-files)

Here is how to include the files efficiently:

1. add `sunnysideup/webpack_requirements_backend:dev-master` using composer
2. check out its documentation on how to add the required files.
