Sage Integration

Trellis is designed to be theme-agnostic and is not tied to Roots' Sage theme at all. That doesn't mean it's hard though; all that's needed is a way to compile assets.

Compiling production theme assets

Sage, like many WordPress themes now, requires a step during deploys to compile production assets.

Trellis includes an example build-before deploy hook designed to work with Sage. See deploy-hooks/build-before.yml. For Sage users, simply uncomment that built-in example hook file and deploy away. Assets will be compiled locally and then copied to the remote server.

Other themes

The Sage example deploy hook can also serve as a blueprint for many other themes that need to run an npm or yarn command for compiling assets.

NVM

If you use nvm to manage Node.js versions for running themes locally, the easiest way to use it is via $NVM_DIR/nvm-exec.

Example:

- name: Install npm dependencies
  command: $NVM_DIR/nvm-exec npm install
  delegate_to: localhost
  args:
   chdir: "{{ project_local_path }}/web/app/themes/mytheme"

- name: Compile assets for production
  command: $NVM_DIR/nvm-exec npm run build:production
  delegate_to: localhost
  args:
   chdir: "{{ project_local_path }}/web/app/themes/mytheme"
