BaseBuilder

BaseBuilder is a Webpack config in the form of an NPM module that can handle most WP projects. Works best in combination with BasePlate WP starter theme

How to install

1. Remove old devDependencies from your projects package.json file.

2. Add basebuilder

yarn add basebuilder-config

3. Add following scripts to package.json

"scripts": {
    "dev": "npm run development",
    "development": "basebuilder-config development",
    "watch": "basebuilder-config watch",
    "production": "basebuilder-config production"
},

4. Make sure the following file exist: resources/assets/config.json

An example config file is located in node_modules/basebuilder-config/config.json

How to eject

We'll probably make an eject script in the future. For now. Do the following steps:

1. add packages from basebuilder-config/package.json to your own package.json.

2. add the following scripts to your package.json.

    "scripts": {
        "dev": "npm run development",
        "development": "NODE_ENV=development webpack --mode development --config assets/build/webpack.config.js",
        "watch": "NODE_ENV=development webpack --mode development --watch --config assets/build/webpack.config.js",
        "production": "NODE_ENV=production webpack --mode production --config assets/build/webpack.config.js"
    },

3. copy basebuilder-config/build folder to your projects assets folder in the project root.

Overwrite config.json file location

Normally BaseBuilder checks for the config.json in the assets folder in the root of the project dir. If you want to overwrite it you can set

   "config": {
        "userConfig": "/web/app/themes/yourtheme/resources/assets/config.json"
    },

in the package.json.
