Usage

Project details such as theme name, author, version number etc should only ever be changed from the package.json file. Laravel Mix reads this file and automatically places the relevant information to the correct locations throughout the theme.

Static assets are organized in the assets directory. This folder contains theme scripts, styles, images, fonts, views and language translation files. All of the main theme styles are contained in the assets/css/main.css file, the style.css file at the root of the theme is left blank intentionally and only contains the required stylesheet header comment.

Autoloading classes and files

Classes

The Genesis Starter Theme automatically loads classes placed in the lib/classes/ directory via the Composer autoloader. Once you have added your additional files, run the following command to regenerate the autoloader:

composer dump-autoload --no-dev

Files

File loading is handled by the lib/init.php file. Simply add or remove files from the directory/filename array.

Development

Please refer to the Laravel Mix documentation for further information on how to use the webpack.mix.js file.

All build tasks are located in the theme's package.json file, under the scripts section.
