What is this repository for?

This repository contains the demo files created in tutorial: A Guide to Automating Sitecore Development Tasks With Gulp This tutorial is aimed at Sitecore/.NET developers who are new to the node universe. We will automate the tasks of bundling JavaScript modules and publishing to the Sitecore instance using the following frameworks:

• Yarn
• Gulp

How do I get set up?

• Clone repo as a sibling of Sitecore's /Website folders
• Use npm to install yarn globally

$ npm install --global yarn

• Use yarn to install required node dependencies

$ yarn install

This installs gulp and plugins necessary for running rollup in gulp.

Use gulp tasks

There are several gulp tasks defined in gulpfile.js. Run them using

$ gulp task-name

• rollup: task for compiling/bundling all js modules and their 3rd party dependencies from /src into a single file (dist/bundle.js)
• publish-js: task for publishing rollup bundle to Sitecore instance
• watch-js: task for making gulp watch JavaScript files for changes and automatically publishing to Sitecore instance when changes are detected
• before-build: task that runs when Build task is called in Visual Studio
• clean: task that runs when Clean task is called in Visual Studio
