Motivation

It is time consuming to learn and set up Drupal 8 Bootstrap 3 less subtheme every time when I need it. I decided to create automatic script using my own workflow.

Requirements

Node.js Grunt.js

Expected folder structure

themes/contrib/boostrap
themes/custom/willGenerateYourTheme

What to expect

It make a copy from less version of Bootstrap 3 starterkit and configure it using your values and will set up npm packages.

Usage

Make sure you have following folder structure:
themes/contrib/boostrap
themes/custom/ Go to Drupal theme folder using terminal window and download shell file.

CURL

curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kaido24/drupal8_bootstrap_subtheme_gen/master/bootstrap_subtheme_gen.sh

WGET

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kaido24/drupal8_bootstrap_subtheme_gen/master/bootstrap_subtheme_gen.sh

run command: sh bootstrap_subtheme_gen.sh

###Gruntfile.js config It has shell support built in and you sould define your drush/drupal executable path or make sure the command works.. If it doesn't suite for your workflow you can just remove shell option.

Cool commands

grunt watch - normal watch command with default tasks clear cache included
grunt watch_all - watches for all the changes and builds the files and clears the caches
grunt watch_twig - watches twig file changes clears the caches
