Getting started

• Install: npm install -g generator-gulp-bootstrap3

For sprite generation install node-canvas.

CSS

For each sass file in src/css a minified CSS file is generated which gets stored in the build assets/css folder. Partials stored in src/css/partials can be included with @import file. Vendor CSS assets can be stored in src/vendor and included with @import file.css as well. Bootstrap 3 is imported by default.

Javascript

For each JS file in src/js a minified JS file is generated which gets stored in the build assets/js folder. Partials stored in src/js/partials can be included with //= require partials/file.js. Vendor JS assets can be stored in src/vendor and included with //=require ../vendor/file.js. Bootstrap 3 is imported by default.

Templates

For each EJS template in src/templates a HTML file is generated and stored in the build folder. Partials stored in src/templates/partials can be included with <% include partials/footer %>

Sprites

All images stored in src/images/sprite/ will be combined in to one sprite, which gets stored in src/images/sprite.png and src/images/sprite-2x.png.

Retina
By default retina is turned on, therefore you should only store retina images in the sprite folder. For each retina image a normal version is generated automatically.

Sass example

@import sprite
 
// cart icon (cart.png in sprite directory)
.cart
  +sprite($cart)

All HTML elements which use the sprite should have class="sprite"

Check out the css-sprite documentation for other examples.

Images

All images stored in src/images are automatically optimized using gulp-imagemin and saved in the build assets/images directory.

Fonts

All fonts in the source directory or underlying subdirectories get copied to the build assets/fonts folder, removing relative paths.

Live Reload

A live reload server is included as well. Install the live reload Chrome extension if you don't use the included connect server.
