@toujou/css-builder v0.0.2

css-builder

A NPM package to build toujou's CSS (can be used on any extension).

Output files will be autoprefixed and minified. It is also possible to use css @import to import other css files.

How to install

1. If the extension still doesn't have a npm package on Resources/Public you can create one with

npm init

2. Install the @toujou/css-builder package with

npm install --save-dev @toujou/css-builder

If it was installed successfully you can see if on the package.json file under devDependencies

How to use

Run either the default or the custom commands on the Resources/Public folder of the extension.

1. Default locations

Default origin folder: Resources/Public/Scss

Default output folder: Resources/Public/build/Stylesheets

You can use the default command without any other arguments to build all CSS files which are direct children of the default origin folder into the default output folder.

npx toujou-build-css

2. Custom locations

If you need to customize your origin and output folders, you can use

npx toujou-build-css originFile destinationFile

Example:

npx toujou-build-css ./CSS/Frontend/ ./Stylesheets/build/bundles/

In this case all direct children of .CSS/Frontend would get built into ./Stylesheets/build/bundles/

Good practices

• Separate the css files into small component blocks (easy to do if using BEM, 1 file per block)
• Use an "extension css file" which imports all other css block files
• Use same file structure as the toujou extension Example:

- Resources
    - Public
        -Scss
            - Elements
                - header.css
                - footer.css
                - content-card.css
            - toujou-extension.css

(on the toujou-extension.css import the Elements/header.css, Elements/footer.css and Elements/content-card.css)

With npx build-toujou-css you will build all these css files into Resources/Public/build/Stylesheets/toujou-extension.css
