Below is the command that required to run / compile the scss with gulpjs. If you are new to the gulpjs, you may refer to their official website for installation guide.
<!-- run the following command --> cd /your-path-url/frontend/forum/src/ npm install gulp <!-- available command --> gulp plugins // generate list of plugins
Verify that you are running at least node 22.x.x or later and npm 11.x.x by running node -v and npm -v in a terminal/console window. Older versions produce errors, but newer versions are fine.
We are using gulp to compile & combine few plugins js & css into one single vendor file for js & css. This may help to improve the speed for page load if compare to multiple files loading in one page.
If you wish to edit the included plugins files, you may refer to the /admin/src/gulpfile.js.
Below is the list of plugins that compile into vendor.min.css.
return gulp.src([
'node_modules/animate.css/animate.min.css',
'node_modules/@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/css/all.min.css',
'node_modules/jquery-ui-dist/jquery-ui.min.css',
'node_modules/pace-js/themes/black/pace-theme-flash.css',
'node_modules/bootstrap-icons/font/bootstrap-icons.css'
])
.pipe(sass())
.pipe(concat('vendor.min.css'))
.pipe(minifyCSS())
.pipe(gulp.dest(distPath + '/assets/css/forum/'))
.pipe(livereload());
Below is the list of plugins that compile into vendor.min.js.
return gulp.src([
