# Parcel template



This project was created with Parcel. For familiarization and setting additional features [refer to documentation](https://parceljs.org/).



## Preparing a new project



1. Make sure you have an LTS version of Node.js installed on your computer.

   [Download and install](https://nodejs.org/en/) if needed.

2. Clone this repository.

3. Change the folder name from `parcel-project-template` to the name of your project.

4. Create a new empty GitHub repository.

5. Open the project in VSCode, launch the terminal and link the project to the GitHub repository

   [by instructions](https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/getting-started-with-git/managing-remote-repositories#changing-a-remote-repositorys-url).

6. Install the project's dependencies in the terminal with the `npm install` command.

7. Start development mode by running the `npm start` command.

8. Go to [http://localhost:1234](http://localhost:1234) in your browser.

   This page will automatically reload after saving changes to the project files.



## Files and folders



- All stylesheet parshas should be in the `src/sass` folder and imported into the page stylesheets. For example, for `index.html` the style file is named `index.scss`.

- Add images to the `src/images` folder. The assembler optimizes them, but only when deploying the production version of the project. All this happens in the cloud so as not to burden your computer, as it can take a long time on weak machines.



## Deploy



To set up a project deployment, you need to perform a few additional steps to set up your repository. Go to the `Settings` tab and in the `Actions` subsection select the `General` item.

Scroll the page to the last section, in which make sure the options are selected as in the following image and click `Save`. Without these settings, the build will not have enough rights to automate the deployment process.

The production version of the project will be automatically built and deployed to GitHub Pages, in the `gh-pages` branch, every time the `main` branch is updated. For example, after a direct push or an accepted pull request. To do this, you need to edit the `homepage` field and the `build` script in the `package.json` file, replacing `your_username` and `your_repo_name` with your own, and submit the changes to GitHub.



```json

"homepage": "https://your_username.github.io/your_repo_name/",

"scripts": {

  "build": "parcel build src/*.html --public-url /your_repo_name/"

},

```



Next, you need to go to the settings of the GitHub repository (`Settings` > `Pages`) and set the distribution of the production version of files from the `/root` folder of the `gh-pages` branch, if this was not done automatically.

### Deployment status



The deployment status of the latest commit is displayed with an icon next to its ID.



- **Yellow color** - the project is being built and deployed.

- **Green color** - deployment completed successfully.

- **Red color** - an error occurred during linting, build or deployment.



More detailed information about the status can be viewed by clicking on the icon, and in the drop-down window, follow the link `Details`.

### Live page



After some time, usually a couple of minutes, the live page can be viewed at the address specified in the edited `homepage` property. For example, here is a link to a live version for this repository

[https://goitacademy.github.io/parcel-project-template](https://goitacademy.github.io/parcel-project-template).



If a blank page opens, make sure there are no errors in the `Console` tab related to incorrect paths to the CSS and JS files of the project (**404**). Most likely you have the wrong value for the `homepage` property or the `build` script in the `package.json` file.



## How it works



![How it works](./assets/how-it-works.png)



1. After each push to the `main` branch of the GitHub repository, a special script (GitHub Action) is launched from the `.github/workflows/deploy.yml` file.

2. All repository files are copied to the server, where the project is initialized and built before deployment.

3. If all steps are successful, the built production version of the project files is sent to the `gh-pages` branch. Otherwise, the script execution log will indicate what the problem is.
