Kirby website

This repo contains the whole <getkirby.com> website.

Requirements

  • Local development server running PHP 7.1+ (e.g. Apache, nginx, MAMP).
  • Node.js 10+ (LTS release) + NPM

Installation and setup

Step 1: Clone the repo into an empty folder

git clone [email protected]:getkirby/getkirby.com.git

Step 2: Install dependencies

npm install

Step 3: Configuration

We are using Laravel Mix as our build tool, which also provides BrowserSync for an optimal developer experience. By default, it expects a copy of the site to run at http://getkirby.test. The document root of the site is the subfolder www/.

You can override the default domain if you prefer to run the site at a different domain. To do so, just copy config.default.json to a file named config.json. You can define a custom domain that new file.

Start the build tool for development

cd [root folder of this repo]
npm start

This will run BrowserSync and watch your CSS, JS and template files for changes.

Stop the server by pressing CRTL+C or by closing the CLI window.

Build for production

Before committing anything back to the repo, make sure to run a production build, as our server does not build assets by itself. It’s always a good idea to lint your code, before committing anything to the repo. You can do so, by running the dedicated lint task:

npm run lint

If the linters do not produce any errors, you can create a production build, as follows:

npm run build

Linters

Our site uses eslint and stylelint for keeping the contents of JS and SCSS files consistent. It is highly recommended that you intall the corresponding integration plugin for your editor or IDE. If your development tool of choice does not offer the corresponding integration, you can alternatively run the linters manually before commiting anything back to the repository, by executing:

npm run lint

Visual regression tests

When refactoring and style sheets or for testing how any change will affect the site appearance, you are encouraged to use the integrated backstop testing. First of all, you have to create a local configuration. To generate the tests, run:

npm run backstop-config

This will create a file called backstop.json within your project root. To generate reference screenshots of the site, run:

npm run backstop-reference

After your reference has been generated (this will take a while), make your changes to to any CSS file, template or anything else that could affect page appearance. Now, run:

npm run backstop-test

This will generate a second set of screenshots. Backstop will compare these to the reference set of screenshots and open a report in your browser after the process has finished, allowing you to revisit every change.

To open the report again, run:

npm run backstop-report

The testing scenarios for Backstop are defined in site/plugins/backstop/index.php, in case you want to add a new template and add a page where it’s acutally used to the scenarios.
