Changes

03/07/2019

• Decompressed the HTML output
• Added a true asset pipeline so future HTML/CSS/JS revisions will not require a cache flush or hard refresh from the user
• Removed the BrowserSync option since it is not compatible with an asset pipeline. Now you will have to manually click refresh in your browser when developing/testing locally

09/03/2018

• Complete rewrite
• Assets now fully compressed
• CSS is now responsive and functional using TailwindCSS
• Most data is templated via Vue.js
• Now uses a gulp build process which includes a mini web server that auto reloads as you edit the CSS, JS, HTML

Usage

One-time:

• Install node.js
• Clone repo
• Open a Terminal in the /_src folder
• Type: npm install

From this point forward whenever you want to edit the base site:

• Open /index.html in your browser of choice
• In your Terminal app type: ./node_modules/.bin/gulp
• Edit the code in the /_src folder, which will trigger the build process and move the processed files to the root / area
• After each change manually refresh your browser loaded with the /index.html to see the result

Editing/Updating Content

• Content that could change often or that is repeatable is located in /data.js for ease of maintenance. You can edit this file without having to go through the entire build process.
