Installation

npm i

Tests

npm tst

Compile all .less files to .css

npm run lessc

The above command will run node less-compile.js which will compile all *.less files to *.css files.

Run less auto-compile and Franklin Pages together

npm run up

The above command will run less compiler in watch mode (i.e. watching for any changes in the *.less files in the current directory and all its descendents and compiling those changes to *.css).

And in parallel, it will also start up your local Franklin Pages development environment with hlx up command.

Note on LESS usage and Franklin Local Development

The npm run up will parse the styles and blocks directory for any .less files. Files that are found will be compiled to css and saved in the same location and name with a .css extension. It will then continue to watch for changes to .less files and will compile to their associated CSS files on changes.

Examples:

• {repo}/blocks/header/header.less will compile to {repo}/blocks/header/header.css
• {repo}/styles/style.less will compile to {repo}/styles/styles.css

As both less-compile.js and hlx up are watching for changes, changes made to your less files while using the rpm run up command will be reflected automatically in your localhost.

Note that using only the hlx up command will not trigger updates on-change for less files.

Local development

1. Create a new repository based on the helix-project-boilerplate template and add a mountpoint in the fstab.yaml
2. Add the helix-bot to the repository
3. Install the Helix CLI: npm install -g @adobe/helix-cli
4. Start Helix Pages Proxy: hlx up (opens your browser at http://localhost:3000)
5. Open the {repo} directory in your favorite IDE and start coding :)
