• Features Gulp as the build pipeline that renders HTML, compiles styles and scripts, and optimizes assets.
• Data is coming from the Sanity Cloud API. This pairs perfectly with the ByMattLee Sanity Studio Starter
• Spins up a local development environment through Browsersync
• Browser reload when NJK, JS, image, SVG or asset files are updated
• Styles are injected when SCSS files are updated

• Features 11ty as the static site generator
• Markup is minified in staging and production environments
• Site data can be set in src/site/_data
• Pages in src/site will be compiled to dist
• src/site/_includes/layouts/base.njk serves as the base template for the site
• src/site/_includes/partials contains site partials and components that are reused across the site (modular HTML)

• Features Tailwind CSS, a utility-first framework
• Includes linter (Stylelint), autoprefixer, minification and sourcemap creation
• SCSS files are located in src/assets/scss
• main.scss in src/assets/scss serves as the base that includes the other dependent SASS files
• main.scss gets compiled to dist/assets/css/main.min.css
• .stylelintrc contains the settings for Stylelint
• Info about class namespacing can be found in src/assets/scss/main.scss
• Unused CSS (PurgeCSS) will be removed in staging and production builds

• Features rollup.js as the module bundler
• Includes linting (ESLint), concatenation, minification and sourcemap creation
• Includes Taxi.js for seamless page transitions
• Includes a custom framework for reuseable content animations
• Includes Alpine.js for declarative DOM manipulation
• main.js in src/assets/js serves as the main JS file that includes and runs all components and will be compiled to dist/assets/js/main.min.js
• All local components should be placed in src/assets/js/components
• All vendor JS can be manually added to src/assets/js/vendors if not found on Yarn
• .eslintrc contains the settings for ESLint

• Place all unoptimized images in the src/assets/images directory
• They will then be optimized and placed in dist/assets/images
• Responsive images will be generated at the following widths (if larger): 200w, 400w, 600w, 800w, 1000w, 1200w, 1400w, 1600w, 1800w
• Use imageSrc shortcode to render responsive srcset in markup

• Place all SVG files in the src/assets/svg directory
• They will then be optimized and added to a sprite at dist/assets/svg/sprite.svg

• All assets (fonts, videos, swfs, etc) under src/assets will be copied to dist/assets on build

• Generates a sitemap based on the HTML files in dist

• Generates a robots.txt file
• Configuration can be found in src/site/robots.njk

• All Tailwind settings can be found in ./tailwind.config.js
• Most styles should be written as utility classes in the template markup but custom SCSS can be used for unique properties and/or magic numbers
• Utilize the @apply directive when writing custom SCSS for efficiency:

svg {
    @apply u-inline-block u-fill-current;
}

• Tailwind settings can be accessed with the theme() function:

.button {
    animation-duration: theme('transitionDuration.normal');
}

• Media queries can be used with the shorthand screen() function:

.button {
    margin-right: 2.8rem;
    @screen sm {
        margin-right: 4.2rem;
    }
}
