There are many boilerplates. This one is mine.

There are many boilerplates. This one is mine.

I never set out to create a boilerplate, but after making sites dozens of times, I realized there were familiar patterns I was reaching for, and I'd always copy that code out of my last project. The most recent time, I decided to strip everything out into a boilerplate.

What is this?

This is the starting point that I (Lemon) use every time I make a new website. It's built using my own aesthetics.

And what aesthetics are those?

I want to have reusable components to help me make a static HTML site, and I want to do that as quickly as possible. At the same time, I don't want to have a whole bunch of boilerplate stuff in the shipped code. The idea here is only when you need it: Making something that's slim and extendable.

Also you'll need Prepros. I'm a fan of it, and I avoid NPM whenever I can, so this uses Prepros.

This also assumes you want to write in Vue, Sass & Pug.

Alright, how do I get started?

1. Click Use This Template to use this repo as a project template.
2. Download and open up Prepros, add your new project to Prepros and hit the globe button to serve your page.
3. If you see It works. in the middle of the screen, congratulations it's working right.

Fundamentals

I'll break this down into three sections, Pug, Sass, & Javascript.

1. Pug
2. Sass
3. Javascript

Normalize Sass Imports

Use Kitty Giraudel's Sass Architecture to ensure these folders don't become a mess, which they inevitably can.
