Feeding Dan in 2015 (feeding.schlosser.io)

In 2015, I took a picture of everything I ate. These are those photos.

I built a custom image grid to make this site, called pig.js (Progressive Image Grid). Check out that libary here.

Dan Eats is built using Gulp, Handlebars.js, and SCSS.

Setup

Install npm. Then, install gulp:

npm install -g gulp  # May require `sudo`

Developing

npm install
gem install scss_lint
gulp serve

Gulp

An overview of Gulp commands available:

gulp build

Builds the site into the dist directory. This includes:

• SCSS w/ linting, sourcemaps and autoprefixing
• JS linting and uglification
• Handlebars to HTML

gulp build:optimized

This is used for distributing an optimized version of the site (for deployment). It includes everything from gulp build as well as:

• SCSS minification
• CSS / JS inline-sourcing

gulp watch

Watchs for changes in local files and rebuilds parts of the site as necessary, into the dist directory.

gulp serve

Runs gulp watch in the background, and serves the dist directory at localhost:3000 with automatic reloading using Browsersync.

gulp deploy

For use by Dan only. Deploys to feeding.schlosser.io, but won't do so without proper authentication.
