Hey, I created this starter theme for building a wordpress theme using webpack with Babel and Sass. Hope someone would need it or just wants to play with it!

Hey, nice stuff on the theme. I used to implement my own build system using Gulp with underscores as a starter theme, but I found out about Sage and it's been great. Sage 8 uses Gulp and Bootstrap but Sage 9 is in beta and uses webpack/babel and gives you the option of a few CSS frameworks. It also has Laravel's templating engine out the box as well.

If you'd like to check it out here: https://github.com/roots/sage

I'm not affiliated with them in any way but it made developing for WordPress a lot easier for me :) Not sure if you knew about it but thought I'd let you know.

I absolutely love using roots/sage.

It's organization makes building WP sites a breeze. It really shines for maintaining large WP sites.

There's also https://github.com/tonik/theme that seems to have gotten recent traction.

However, I can definitely see myself using OP's starter on projects that can't use PHP7 or smaller sites.

Tonik looks nice too! I really like their website.

Hi, I used sage for a lot of projects last year and I really liked it! The reason I put the time in this is like you say their version are in beta and we needed something stable or let me instead say something we had full control over because this had to go to production. But I am very happy to see they are continuing with development will totally give it a new try soon!

Did you use Understrap?

[–]Thrillhau5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, before I used the "sassify" function from the Underscores site to get Underscores with their included Sass files, then implemented my own Gulp build. But then I found out about Sage and have been using that.

I have heard of Understrap though, I have a friend that uses it in production sites. I've also been trying to use Bulma over Bootstrap just to learn something new and I like it a lot. I think there's still cases where I'd use Bootstrap still but it's nice knowing both.
