Cloutlayer Starter Theme

A boilerplate to kickstart creating Cloutlayer themes! Fork this repository and start your development here with all the main things you need to develop a custom Cloutlayer theme.

Cloutlayer Themes

Cloutlayer uses a simple templating language called Handlebars for its themes.

Read the Handlebars documentation. It's super easy. 😉

Development

You'll need Node, Java and Gulp installed globally. After that, from the theme's root directory:

# install dependencies
npm install

# run development server
gulp dev

Commands

• gulp dev: Runs the development server locally.
• gulp build: Compiles CSS and JS files.
• gulp zip: Packages the theme files into dist/theme-<timestamp>.zip, which you can then upload to your website.
• gulp zipAssets: Packages the theme design assets into dist/theme-assets-<timestamp>.zip, which you can then upload to your website.

Project Structure

• assets: design assets — example: styles, scripts, images, fonts and icons
• assets/built: compiled styles (CSS) and scripts (JS)
• data: data to apply to Handlebars templates
• public: robots.txt, humans.txt, favicon and manifests
• templates: entry templates — example: layouts and pages
• templates/partials: reusable templates — example: header, footer, etc
