Creating a New Theme

To get started with building a new theme, use the Pagedip Theme Tool to generate the theme basics from a boilerplate:

$ pdt create theme_name

This command will create several folders and files under a new folder theme_name in the current directory.

theme_name/
	theme.json
	templates/
		layout.html
		basic.html
	scripts/ 
		index.js
	assets/
                main.css
		splot.jpg
	preview/
	 	main.md
	webpack.config.js	
	

We recommend starting new themes from this boilerplate as it provides the bare minimum requirements for a valid theme.

Theme Builder Configuration

We use Webpack to build the JavaScript, so you can customize Webpack to fit your project needs.
