# Start package for [Bulma](http://bulma.io)

Tiny npm package that includes the `npm` **dependencies** you need to **build your own website** with Bulma.

Bulma: a Flexbox CSS framework

## Install

```sh
npm install bulma-start
```
_or_

```sh
yarn add bulma-start
```

## What's included

The `npm` dependencies included in `package.json` are:

* [bulma](https://github.com/jgthms/bulma)
* [node-sass](https://github.com/sass/node-sass) to compile your own Sass file
* [postcss-cli](https://github.com/postcss/postcss-cli) and [autoprefixer](https://github.com/postcss/autoprefixer) to add support for older browsers
* [babel-cli](https://babeljs.io/docs/usage/cli/), [babel-preset-env](https://github.com/babel/babel-preset-env) and [babel-preset-es2015-ie](https://github.com/jmcriffey/babel-preset-es2015-ie) for compiling ES6 JavaScript files

Apart from `package.json`, the following files are included:

* `.babelrc` configuration file for [Babel](https://babeljs.io/)
* `.gitignore` common [Git](https://git-scm.com/) ignored files
* `index.html` this HTML5 file
* `_sass/main.scss` a basic SCSS file that **imports Bulma** and explains how to **customize** your styles, and compiles to `css/main.css`
* `_javascript/main.js` an ES6 JavaScript that compiles to `lib/main.js`

## Get your feet wet

This package is meant to provide a **good starting point** for working with Bulma.

When installing this package with the commands above, it landed in `$HOME/node_packages/bulma-start`.
In order to use it as a **template** for your **project**, you might consider copying it to a better suited location:

```sh
cd $HOME/projects
cp -a $HOME/node_modules/bulma-start my-bulma-project
```

Alternatively, you could do something similar with a GitHub clone as well.

```sh
cd $HOME/projects
git clone https://github.com/jgthms/bulma-start
mv bulma-start my-bulma-project
rm -rf my-bulma-project/.git # cut its roots
```

Now, that you prepared the groundwork for your project, set up Bulma and run the watchers:

```sh
cd my-bulma-project
npm install
npm start
```

As long as `npm start` is running, it will **watch** your changes. You can edit `_sass/main.scss` and `_javascript/main.js` at will. Changes are **immediately** compiled to their destinations, where `index.html` will pick them up upon reload in your browser.

Some controlling output is written to the `npm start` console in that process:

```sh
_javascript/main.js -> lib/main.js

=> changed: $HOME/projects/start-with-bulma/_sass/main.scss
Rendering Complete, saving .css file...
Wrote CSS to $HOME/projects/start-with-bulma/css/main.css
```

Use `npm run` to show all available commands:

```sh
Lifecycle scripts included in bulma-start:
start
npm-run-all --parallel css-watch js-watch

available via `npm run-script`:
css-build
node-sass _sass/main.scss css/main.css
css-deploy
npm run css-build && npm run css-postcss
css-postcss
postcss --use autoprefixer --output css/main.css css/main.css
css-watch
npm run css-build -- --watch
deploy
npm run css-deploy && npm run js-build
js-build
babel _javascript --out-dir lib
js-watch
npm run js-build -- --watch
```
