Development

Business Pro uses Gulp as a build tool and npm to manage front-end packages.

Install dependencies

From the command line on your host machine, navigate to the theme directory then run npm install:

# @ themes/your-theme-name/
$ npm install

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

Build commands

• gulp styles — Compile, autoprefix and minify Sass files.
• gulp scripts — Minify javascript files.
• gulp images — Compress and optimize images.
• gulp watch — Compile assets when file changes are made, start BrowserSync
• gulp — Default task - runs all of the above tasks.

Additional commands

• gulp i18n — Scan the theme and create languages.pot POT file.
• gulp zip — Package theme into zip file for distribution, ignoring node_modules.

Using BrowserSync

To use BrowserSync you need to update the proxy URL in gulpfile.js to reflect your local development hostname. If you are using a self-signed SSL certificate on your localhost, keep the BrowserSync settings the same, just change the URL. If not using an SSL, remove the default settings and use the commented-out settings from line 313 - 315.

If your local development URL is my-site.dev, update the file to read:

...
  proxy: 'my-site.dev',
...
