Giving your sparrow power ups
Adding new plugins#
Adding a new plugin to your Sparrow is simple. You Here are two ways you can do that.
Simple approach
Place your new plugin in pages/assets/lib
folder. Eg: to add the typed.js
plugin, we will download it from here, unzip it and place the typed.js-master
folder in pages/assets/lib
folder.
Using NPM
Suppose we are installing the typed.js
plugin. Here are the steps:
Step 1:
npm install typed.js -S
Step 2:
In your gulpfile.js
, add the plugin at the end of the Paths.DEPENDENCIES
variable. eg:
Paths = {
...
DEPENDENCIES: {
...
'typed.js': {
FROM: 'node_modules/typed.js/lib/typed.js',
TO: JS,
},
},
...
},
orPaths = {
...
DEPENDENCIES: {
...
'typed.js': {
FROM: 'node_modules/typed.js/lib/*.*',
TO: lib,
},
},
...
},
Here, JS
refers to pages/assets/js
and lib
refers to pages/assets/lib
, where gulp will copy files from the typed.js
plugin. We use the JS
folder when we need only the js files from the plugin. Otherwise, we use the lib
folder for plugins like owl.carousel
Step 3:
Run the following command:
gulp copy:dependency
