Starter Theme
Starter Theme and Slate v1 are currently in beta! You should expect potentially breaking changes between updates and more bugs than a finalized release. Slate v1.0 has not yet been tested on Windows.
Starter Theme represents the Shopify Themes Team's opinionated starting point for new Slate theme projects. It strives to include up-to-date best practices and solutions that we have deemed needed for the majority of themes we build. It is a reflection of what’s possible when building a theme!
The JavaScript files contain most of Shopify's helper scripts and lazysizes for responsive image lazy loading.
System requirements
You'll want to ensure you have the following already installed on your local machine before getting started with Starter theme:
-
Node: The current LTS (long-term support) release. We like to use a Node Version Manager like NVM.
-
NPM 5+ or Yarn: Both of these package managers have ups and downs, choose whichever you prefer. Follow the installation instructions for Yarn or NPM to make sure you're using the latest version.
Getting started
To get started with Concrete, run the following command in your terminal:
$ yarn create slate-theme my-new-theme
For more information on connecting your new project with a Shopify store, see the Slate docs.
