Jekyll-Foundation5-Starter-Kit

You heard about the Foundation framework and want to use it on your next project? You also love Jekyll and don't want to miss it? Then THIS is for you!

Here's my personal Jekyll+Foundation5-Starter-Kit - starring:

• Jekyll - a blog-aware, static site generator.
• Foundation 5 - a responsive front-end framework.

The Stack

All you need to get started:

• Ruby: Required for Jekyll.
• Node.js and NPM: Required for Grunt & Grunt-plugins.
• Grunt: Automates development.
• Bower: Manages frontend dependencies.
• Bundler: Manages Ruby dependencies.

The Setup

• Install Ruby
• Install Node.js and NPM
• Install Grunt: npm install -g grunt-cli
• Install Bower: npm install -g bower
• Install Bundler: gem install bundler

The Dependencies

Now it's time to install the project's dependencies:

• NPM: npm cache clean && npm install
• Bower: bower install
• Bundler: bundle install

The Grunt

Everything's ready to get started right away - here's my Grunt workflow:

• grunt dev: Compiles SASS, builds the site and opens it in the default browser, watches for changes and injects them right away.
• grunt prod: Builds a bleeding edge website into the build directory.
• grunt split: Same as grunt prod, but fixes problems with non-working JS components. If something you need doesn't work, e.g. off-canvas navigation, head over to source/_scss/split and
  1. comment out this component in _foundation_split.scss and
  2. add it right after global in custom_split.scss
• grunt check: Checks code quality of SASS and JS files, Jekyll health and also for outdated packages.

It's possible to get started even quicker - with bundle exec jekyll serve
