Features

• Uses Parcel v2 module bundler.
• NPM scripts for fast development and production build (see Commands below).

Stylesheets

• Sass/SCSS to CSS compilation.
• PostCSS features:
  • Transpile modern CSS with postcss-preset-env.
  • Automatically add CSS prefix to unsupported properties with autoprefixer.
  • Automatically minify and optimize CSS code on production build with @parcel/optimizer-cssnano.

Scripts

• Allow for modern JavaScript (ES201x/ES8/ES7/ES6…) which is automatically transpiled to ES5 and minifed in production builds, with Babel.

Images

• Image transformation with @parcel/transformer-image (based on sharp). Do not use on this version since it may cause crashes on Netlify deployments.

• Development server launch and live reloading on file changes.
• Friendly error reporting.

How to use this boilerplate

Content lives inside the src/ folder. If you do not want to change the configuration or are unsure about what you are doing, do not edit files outside the src/ folder.

Always run the following commands during the development stage and for production builds. Please note that it is expected that all projects built with this boilerplate are compiled using npm run build before they are published.

Commands

Command	Description
npm run dev	Runs a local web server for development and opens the browser to display it. Automatically compiles styles and scripts whenever a file in src/ is changed, and live reloads the browser. This is what must be run on the development stage.
npm run build	Compiles and minifies and optimizes the files in the assets folder. The generated compiled and optimized files are located in the dist/ folder. This is what must be run before publishing the project. This is also the build command to be run by external deployment services such as Netlify. The publishable files are then located in the dist/ folder.
npm run clean	Deletes the current /dist folder and cache folders.
npm run test	Displays a success message if everything is working as expected.
