Build process

If you are planning to change the codebase of your Fork, you should know about the build process. Javascript and CSS files are build automatically for any new release, even during development process. This helps to keep your development environment as close to your production environment as possible.

There are many goals that will be achieved with automated builds:

• Javascript files are combined to a single file, that contains all required dependencies.
• SCSS code is translated into CSS and gets minified.
• Source maps are generated for Javascript and CSS files
• Pre-compressed Gzip and Brotli versions are generated (~80% reduction in file size)
• Images are converted into *.webp, or resized for different screen resolutions

Build requirements:

• Node.js + npm
• GraphicsMagick
