Packagist devDependency Status Build Status

Sage is a WordPress starter theme with a modern development workflow.

Sage 9 is in active development and is only currently in alpha. The master branch tracks Sage 9 development. If you want a stable version, use the latest Sage 8 release.

Features

  • Sass for stylesheets
  • ES6 for JavaScript
  • Webpack for compiling assets, optimizing images, and concatenating and minifying files
  • BrowserSync for synchronized browser testing
  • Bootstrap 4 for a front-end framework (can be removed or replaced)
  • Template inheritance with the theme wrapper

See a working example at roots-example-project.com.

Requirements

Make sure all dependencies have been installed before moving on:

Theme installation

Install Sage using Composer from your WordPress themes directory (replace your-theme-name below with the name of your theme):

# @ example.com/site/web/app/themes/
$ composer create-project roots/sage your-theme-name dev-master

Theme setup

Edit src/setup.php to enable or disable theme features, setup navigation menus, post thumbnail sizes, post formats, and sidebars.

Theme development

Sage uses Webpack as a build tool and npm to manage front-end packages.

Install dependencies

From the command line on your host machine (not on your Vagrant development box), navigate to the theme directory then run npm install:

# @ example.com/site/web/app/themes/your-theme-name
$ npm install

You now have all the necessary dependencies to run the build process.

Build commands

  • npm start — Compile assets when file changes are made, start BrowserSync session
  • npm run build — Compile and optimize the files in your assets directory
  • npm run build:production — Compile assets for production

Additional commands

  • npm run clean — Remove your dist/ folder
  • npm run lint — Run eslint against your assets and build scripts
  • composer test — Check your PHP for code smells with phpmd and PSR-2 compliance with phpcs

Using BrowserSync

To use BrowserSync during npm start you need to update devUrl at the bottom of assets/config.json to reflect your local development hostname.

If your local development URL is https://project-name.dev, update the file to read:

...
  "devUrl": "https://project-name.dev",
...

If you are not using Bedrock, update publicPath to reflect your folder structure:

...
  "publicPath": "/wp-content/themes/sage/"
...

By default, BrowserSync will use webpack's HMR, which won't trigger a page reload in your browser.

If you would like to force BrowserSync to reload the page whenever certain file types are edited, then add them to watch in assets/config.json.

...
  "watch": [
    "assets/scripts/**/*.js",
    "templates/**/*.php",
    "src/**/*.php"
  ],
...
