Installation

After cloning the repo, copy the sample environment file:

cp .env.example .env

To setup dotenv, plugins and other packages run in the project root:

composer install

Running composer install will also clean up the wp directory, create a symlink for ServerPilot, install yarn on the child theme and install a handful of plugins we use from day one.

Furthermore, we've included Roots Soil and enabled bcrypt (also by Roots).

Next cd into the child Sage theme:

cd web/app/themes/laravel-theme-child/

Within the child Sage theme, install composer:

composer install

Going forward the following command can be used within the child theme, this gives you local and external URLs for ongoing testing:

yarn start

To compile JS and CSS for development environment:

yarn build

To compile JS and CSS for production environment:

yarn build:production

Changelog
