Getting Started

  • Clone this repository into your WordPress project themes directory .../wp-content/themes.
  • Navigate to the theme's root directory .../wp-content/themes/wp-blank.
  • Execute the following commands:
  • npm install
  • npm run watch - to watch for file changes and compile them on each save.
  • npm run build - to build production bundles before deployment to server.

The build

It will build CSS and JS bundles into theme's /src/dist directory based on sources inside /src/js/main.js for Javascript and /src/assets/styles/main.scss for styles. Compiled bundles are already registered in theme's functions.php file, so no additional configuration is needed. You can modify templates for your own projects in a way you need and start focusing on building your theme immediately.
