Get your feet wet
This package is meant to provide a good starting point for working with Bulma.
When installing this package with the commands above, it landed in $HOME/node_packages/bulma-start
.
In order to use it as a template for your project, you might consider copying it to a better suited location:
cd $HOME/projects
cp -a $HOME/node_modules/bulma-start my-bulma-project
Alternatively, you could do something similar with a GitHub clone as well.
cd $HOME/projects
git clone https://github.com/jgthms/bulma-start
mv bulma-start my-bulma-project
rm -rf my-bulma-project/.git # cut its roots
Now, that you prepared the groundwork for your project, set up Bulma and run the watchers:
cd my-bulma-project
npm install
npm start
As long as npm start
is running, it will watch your changes. You can edit _sass/main.scss
and _javascript/main.js
at will. Changes are immediately compiled to their destinations, where index.html
will pick them up upon reload in your browser.
Some controlling output is written to the npm start
console in that process:
_javascript/main.js -> lib/main.js
=> changed: $HOME/projects/start-with-bulma/_sass/main.scss
Rendering Complete, saving .css file...
Wrote CSS to $HOME/projects/start-with-bulma/css/main.css
