WordCamp US 2019 Theme

This is the theme used for the WordCamp US website. The compiled CSS is loaded by the us.wordcamp.org site, while the child theme itself can be used in a local development environment.

To work on the site:

First, set up a local install using the wordpress-meta-environment, and follow this guide to set up a new wordcamp site.

Alternately, you can set up a normal WordPress site & use the wcus-themes repo to get the WordCamp environment.

1. Add this repo to your themes directory, activate it, and set up the site
2. Create a new branch
3. Make your changes in the Sass as needed, see "CSS Structure" for where things live.
4. You can run npm run watch, which will rebuild the CSS as you're working, and also works with livereload (alternately you can run npm run build to do a one-time build of the CSS)
5. Commit your changes, including the compiled CSS
6. Create a PR for your change

Development

Get started by running npm install. This will install the gulp, sass, autoprefixer, stylelint, and livereload dependencies.

We use stylelint with the WordPress Coding Standards for scss enforced (with minor exceptions). With PostCSS + autoprefixer, you don't need to worry about vendor prefixes. Lastly, you can use a livereload browser extension to avoid manual reloads. If you don't want to use a browser extension, turn on SCRIPT_DEBUG to always load the latest CSS file.

The scripts available to you are:

• npm run build: Run the linter and build the CSS file
• npm run lint: Run the linter by itself
• npm run watch: Run the linter and build the CSS file, watching scss files for changes. Also turns on the livereload server.

If you need to, you can also run npx gulp css (if you're on npm 5.2+), which will compile the CSS, skipping the linter. Please don't do this if you can avoid it 🙂
