Bringing together the creative and digital communities of Brighton and Hove and the academic and student communities of local universities and colleges.
This project is built using Jekyll - a static site generator built with Ruby and backed by the Liquid template engine.
You will need to install Ruby, which comes with a command line tool called gem for installing Ruby dependencies:
brew install ruby
We're going to use gem to install Bundler, which is a command line tool for version controlling dependencies.
gem install bundler
Bundler is then used to install all dependencies of the project:
bundle install
From here there are a couple of npm scripts you can use.
To run a dev server which watches files for changes you can run:
npm start
# OR
bundle exec jekyll serve
To simply build the project you can run:
npm run build
# OR
bundle exec jekyll build
To update the dependencies (which should be done reasonably regularly) you can run:
npm run update
# OR
bundle update
The _data directory contains a listings.json which is a list of all the meetups / groups; their names, descriptions, links and images (the name of the image file within the images directory).
Static assets like images are stored inside an assets directory.
Images for each group / meetup should be placed inside assets/images/groups.
Images for the site / templates should be placed inside assets/images/template.
This project uses SCSS for styles. All styling should be applied with SCSS inside the _scss directory.
You should aim to use variables where necessary. Take a look in the _scss/variables.scss to see what already exists.
If you are adding a new include / page to the site you should create new scss files for these.
