Build process improvements #42

Open mhkeller opened 8 years ago

mhkeller commented 8 years ago

Per the note in https://github.com/ajam/pulp/issues/41#issuecomment-147701388, Docpad is a build tool with an easy to use interface — if I'm understanding it correctly.

Some current things a build step could help with

Setting animation durations, which currently have to be changed in the config and in the stylesheet
I haven't finished the different zoom modes, but configuring those easily would also be nice since they will have different options

@nylnook will you post your ongoing investigations here and we can see how best to integrate?

nylnook commented 8 years ago

Sure ;)

I've made a few improvements to the build process.

You no longer need to set your animation times twice. Set them in config.json and those values will be sent to both the javascript and the stylesheet
You no longer need install stylus and nib globally to compile the stylesheet. Instead, do npm install and then npm run build.

@nylnook In looking more at DocPad, it might be too-opinionated of an approach for people who aren't used to using that. Are there other build process issues that could be simplified from a workflow standpoint? I can integrate them into the new process.

I'll rename this issue...

Hello Michael ! Sorry, I'm really busy with COP21 in Paris theses 2 weeks ;p

Yes Docpad is quite special... but also allow you to choose your preferred languages... Let me one month : I'll dig into this integration in Januray I think.

Thanks for your work in any way !
