LezWatch.TV Theme - Built on Yikes! Starter Theme

The 100% Original Theme for LezWatch.TV

Description

Based on the Yikes! Starter Theme, the LezWatch.TV theme has been customized for custom post types (shows, characters, actors), and is fully integrated with the LezWatch.TV Plugin.

Requirements

• PHP 8.1 or higher
• Grunt
• Node.js version 16+

It's recommended to use Homebrew on macOS or Chocolatey for Windows to install the project dependencies.

Setup 🛠

1. Clone this repository: git clone git@github.com:lezwatch/lwtv-underscores
2. Move into the project directory: cd lwtv-underscores
3. Install the project dependencies: npm install

Contributing

All pull requests should be made to production.

1. Using the production branch as base, create a new branch with a descriptive name like fixing-charts or fix/chartjs421 or feature/latest-posts . Commit your work to that branch until it's ready for full testing
2. Open a pull request from your feature branch to the production branch.
3. If you are not a main developer, your pull request will be reviewed before it can be merged. If there are issues or changes needed, you may be asked to do so, or they may be done for you.
4. When the code passes review, run npm run merge-to-develop to push it to development (no extra PR needed).
5. Once the code passes tests and is approved, the branch can be merged into production and the job is done!

To install and update:

• $ npm install - Install all the things.
• $ npm updater - Updates all the things.
• $ npm build - Builds all the CSS and handles composer versions.

Commits are currently not linted by default.

CSS & JS

If you're updating CSS you have a couple options, since it's all SCSS:

1. grunt watch - run grunt and leave open for ongoing changes.
2. grunt build - run the build process once.

This will also update any needed internal javascript.

External Libraries

JS libraries are included via NPM.

The vendor and node_module files are not synced to Github, to minimize the amount of files stored on the servers.
