🐔 use vendor js

edit /config/options.js

//multiple vendor build
vendorOptions: [
    {
      distName: "vendor.js",
      vendors: [], //'react', 'react-dom', 'axios'
      destPath: {
        dev: PATH.DEST.DEV.JS_VENDOR,
        prod: PATH.DEST.PROD.JS_VENDOR,
      },
      uglifyOptions: uglifyOptions
    },
    {
      distName: "vendor2.js",
      vendors: [],
      destPath: {
        dev: PATH.DEST.DEV.JS_VENDOR,
        prod: PATH.DEST.PROD.JS_VENDOR,
      },
      uglifyOptions: uglifyOptions
    }
  ],

note: Remember install your vendor library

ex:

npm i react --save

npm i react-dom --save

npm i axios --save

🐔 use vendor css

two source

1. from npm node_modules
2. from ./src/manual3rdCss

for mode one

• you can edit vendors of ./config/options.js.

ex:

vendorCssOptions: {
    distName: vendorCssName, //your create vendor name
    vendors:[], //your node_modules 3rd css name. 
    manualVendors: [`${PATH.SRC.MANUAL_CSS}/**/*.css`, `${PATH.SRC.MANUAL_CSS}/**/*.min.css`], //your manaul 3rd css path.
    destPath: PATH.DEST.CSS,
    cleanCssOptions: {
      compatibility: 'ie7',
      //keepBreaks: true,
      keepSpecialComments: '*'
    },
    autoprefixerOption: {
      browsers: ["last 4 versions", "ie >= 7"],
      cascade: false
    }
  },

for mode two

• your can add 3rd css file to ./src/manual3rdCss

finally you can run gulp build:css-vendor build vendor.css

gulp build:css-vendor

🐔 use layout

layout config in config/layout.js.

layout.js example

module.exports = {
  guideline: {
    layout: 'layoutBase',
    meta: 'metaBase',
    header: 'headerBase',
    footer: 'footerBase',
    page: 'guideline',
    title: "風格指南",
    vendor: []          //your page vendor js name
  },
  home: {
    layout: 'layoutBase',
    meta: 'metaBase',
    header: 'headerBase',
    footer: 'footerBase',
    page: 'home',
    title: "首頁",
    vendor: []         //your page vendor js name
  },
  //format
  [your page name.] : {
    layout: [`your layout file name.`],   //layout.ejs file need create in src/views/layout
    meta: [`your meta file name.`],       //meta.ejs file need create in src/views/shared
    header: [`your header file name.`],   //header.ejs file need create in src/views/shared
    footer: [`your footer file name.`],   //footer.ejs file need create in src/views/shared
    page: [`your page main container file name.`],  //page.ejs file need create in src/views
    title: [`your page title name`]
  }
}

how add page

1. add page to layout.js

module.exports = {
  guideline: {
    layout: 'layoutBase',
    meta: 'metaBase',
    header: 'headerBase',
    footer: 'footerBase',
    page: 'guideline',
    title: "風格指南",
    vendor: ["verdor"]
  },
  home: {
    layout: 'layoutBase',
    meta: 'metaBase',
    header: 'headerBase',
    footer: 'footerBase',
    page: 'home',
    title: "首頁",
    vendor: ["verdor", "verdor2"]
  },
  test: {
    layout: 'layoutBase',
    meta: 'metaBase',
    header: 'headerBase',
    footer: 'footerBase',
    page: 'test',
    title: "test",
    vendor: []
  } 
}

2. create test.ejs file in src/views folder.

<p class="helloWord">hello word! im test</p>

-src
  -- views
    test.ejs

3. create test.js file in src/entry

console.log("hello word! im test page.");

4. create test.css file in src/scss

@import "./common/guideline";
.helloWord{
  color: red;
  font-size: 26px;
}

5. run build script

npm run build:dev or gulp build:dev

note: you can run npm run start test your page.

open your browser at url enter http://0.0.0.0:9527/html/test.html

🐔 use proxy

open config/option.js

add

  "/api/**": {
    target: "http://0.0.0.0:9528",
    changeOrigin: true,
    pathRewrite: {
      '^/api/': ''
    }
  },
  "/*.html": {
    target: "http://0.0.0.0:9527/html",
    changeOrigin: true
  },
