Waffle

This project is being designed and developed in the open. Follow along and see our progress on this Waffle board.

Development

Prerequisites

To get started, you'll need node.js, gulp-cli, and node-squarespace-server installed.

Setup

1. Clone this repo.
2. Run npm install to install dependencies.
3. Run cp config.js.example config.js to make your own copy of config.js. Update siteurl with the url of your own squarespace site, ie: https://mysite.squarespace.com

Develop

1. Run gulp. This will build your site in /public and start up gulp watch.
2. In a new terminal window, cd public. Run sqs server to start the server. The default port is localhost:5050. (You'll need to enter your squarespace credentials in the browser the first time around.)
3. Make all your changes in /src. Gulp will watch for and build any changes you make to /public. If you use the LiveReload chrome extension, your site will reload automatically with your changes.

Deploy

First time Setup

1. cd public, then git init to initialize a new git repository in /public.
2. Add your squarespace git repo: git remote add origin https://{{mysite}}.squarespace.com/template.git where {{mysite}} is your squarespace subdomain.

Deploy to Squarespace

1. Run gulp build:deploy to build your site with revisioned assets.
2. cd public and git add/commit all the changes, then push: git push origin master. (The first time you may need to git push -f origin master and enter your squarespace credentials.)
