WordPress Timber Theme Development

1. Docker WordPress / DB Environment Setup:

In your terminal, navigate to the project directory, then use the commands..

docker-compose up

...not detached from terminal output - view output from all containers - use Ctrl-C to stop all containers

OR

docker-compose up -d && docker attach docker-local-wordpress-dev_wordpress_1

...detaches terminal output from all containers, but then re-attach to the WordPress container to view NGINX server output only

OR

docker-compose up -d

...detaches from all containers (no terminal output) - use command in #6 below to stop

---

2. Build Theme:

** NOTE: Make sure Docker is running (see #1 above) and wait until all Docker tasks are complete - This could take awhile, go grab a coffee, and then look for the final message:

SUCCESS: WP-CLI setup commands completed.

...THEN:

***If you didn't detach the docker-compose command in Step #1, then you will need to open a new terminal in the project folder to run these commands:

a. Change to app folder: cd app

b. Install node modules: yarn install

c. Run build task: gulp build

...this builds the theme to the /build folder which is also an alias for the WordPress /wp-content/themes/ folder - Don't bother changing these files, they WILL get overwritten by step d. below

After the build task is done, you can jump down to #3 to just view the site, or if you want to start developing, then also...

d. Run watch task: gulp watch

...this will sync your changes to the files in the /app/src folder with browser at localhost:3000 - use Ctrl-C to exit watch task

---

3. Activate WordPress Theme

a. Log into WP at: http://localhost:8000/wp-admin : admin : p4ssw0rd!

5. Build production files

***If you didn't detach the docker-compose command in Step #1, then you will need to open a new terminal in the project folder to run these commands:

a. Change to app folder: cd app

b. Create distribution build: gulp dist

c. Build files will be located in /dist folder

---

6. Stop Docker Containers:

In the project directory: docker-compose stop

---

7. Tear down and clean up:
