• Create separate non-minified bundles during build

To Do

On Hold

• jQuery
• vendor concatenated bundle
• placement of src dir
• front-end templates (and data injection)

New Features

Ready

• All static assets are hashed/revisioned (works with assetPath in twig and url('~assets/...') in CSS and JS).
• React support with hot reload (babel and eslint), possible to enable in chisel.config.js (NOT Gutenberg integration).
• Automatic polyfills (disabled by default, can be enabled in babel.config.js).
• Inspect generated webpack config (yarn chisel-scripts inspect)
• Ask for supported browsers during generation
• Hooks for modifying webpack config and other things
• Add suport for inline SVG via PostCSS #460 - Add suport for inline SVG - assets can be inlined in (S)CSS with url('~assets/images/something.svg?inline'). SVGO should be automatically applied during minification (not verified).
• See dashboard: Prevent "regeneratorRuntime is not defined"  #452, Add new wp_body_open action #454, Make sure lang attribute holds current language #459, Fix URL for WP setup doesn't work as expected #189, Enable CSS grid support for Autoprefixer #446, Build assets during first install #455, StyleLint warnings on fresh install #464, Replace normalize with postcss-normalize #271

@jakub300 tested it on Windows and works nicely for me.

This is awesome news! Good job guys - Did you also take a look at Laravel mix? Going to try it out

@jakub300 I tried to generate project on Win10 and got error when database should be created:

Hi there
I run into the following problems;
After the Plug-in section (I've selected none) i got the Message;

npm WARN deprecated [email protected]: Chokidar 2 will break on node v14+. Upgrade to chokidar 3 with 15x less dependencies.
npm WARN deprecated [email protected]: fsevents 1 will break on node v14+ and could be using insecure binaries. Upgrade to fsevents 2.

"win32-x64-72" exists; testing
Binary is fine; exiting

> [email protected] install W:\SERVER\XAMPP\htdocs\test\xfive-project-wp\node_modules\husky
> node husky install

husky > Setting up git hooks
Cannot read property 'toString' of null
husky > Failed to install

After the Database Setup i got some errors like that:

Der Befehl "php" ist entweder falsch geschrieben oder
konnte nicht gefunden werden.

So the command php was not found.
It copied all the files except for the Wordpress Installation. After that i installed WP and setup the Database and now it seams to work.

@marziolek @spy15 thank you for trying new Chisel and for the reports.

@jakub300 can you take a look at those issues when you have time? Thanks

[mortensassi]

What do you guys think about Laravel Mix ? I have already used it with other custom themes and found it very easy to setup and extend to my needs.

@jakub300 I tried to generate project on Win10 and got error when database should be created: Error: Too many positional arguments: 1

I also encountered this issue. Did you find a solution?

I didn't have that issue since last time. You should check your local setup, node version, mysql etc.

@anatter could you please check if you are not on npm v6 like described here #495 (comment)? Upgrading npm or using yarn should help. If not, let us know. Thanks
