What's included

The theme uses NPM scripts and packages to create tooling to:

• write and compile scss to css
• apply appropriate prefixing for css rules
• write and uglify js
• detect features the user’s browser has to offer (via Modernizr)
• code linting
• optimise and compress images for the web

Using the NPM scripts

The package.json includes the following commands and tasks:

| Task | Description | | --- | --- | | npm run build | npm run build compiles files into their build directories ready for use in a production environment. Uses Sass, Autoprefixer, Modernizr and UglifyJS. | | npm run watch | Watches for changes to scss and js files & compiles them for development purposes.| | npm run lint | Will run all .scss and .js files through their respective linting tools - eslint & sass-lint, note however that linting is also performed as part of the the build scripts. This is useful for finding issues being flagged by the linting rules. To only lint css or js files, prefix the lint command with the file type you which to scope the linting to eg npm run css-lint or npm run js-lint |

Run npm run to see all the npm scripts.
