README

A boilerplate using Laravel v5.3 and Foundation 6. All blade views have been re-styled for Foundation 6 for sites. Elixir is configured to compile all the individual components in order to add a bit of flexibility in making custom modifications to the framework.

Jquery, Node-Sass and Foundation are added as devDependencies in the node packagage.json and can be installed via npm:

npm install

Foundation is copied to the "resources/assets/(scss/js)" directory the first time you run gulp:

from node_modules => resources/assets/scss/foundation

from node_modules => resources/assets/js/foundation

NOTE: If you plan on making modifications to the foundation scss files, you should outcomment following from the gulpfile after you ran it once.

    .copy(
        './node_modules/foundation-sites/scss', 
        'resources/assets/scss/foundation'
    )

    .copy(
        './node_modules/foundation-sites/js',
        'resources/assets/js/foundation'
        )

Housekeeping:

The main "app.scss" and "gulpfile.js" files are pre-configured to import foundation scss and js, and include a full list of the individual components which make it easy to add/remove to the mix.

• resources/assets/scss/app.scss:

    /// Import Foundation 6 for sites
    @import 'foundation/foundation';

    /// Foundation components
    @include foundation-global-styles;
    @include foundation-grid;
    @include foundation-flex-grid;
    @include foundation-typography;
    @include foundation-button;
    ...

• gulpfile.js:

    /// Foundation 6 core
    'foundation/foundation.core.js',

    /// Foundation 6 components
    'foundation/foundation.abide.js',
    'foundation/foundation.accordion.js',
    'foundation/foundation.accordionMenu.js',
    'foundation/foundation.drilldown.js',
    'foundation/foundation.dropdown.js',
    'foundation/foundation.dropdownMenu.js',
    ...

Boilerplate helper samples for easy prototyping located in App\Helpers, additionally the Helper.php is being autoloaded:

"files": [
        "app/Zen/Helpers/Helper.php"
    ]

Minor modifications:

• Application name can be set in .env using APP_NAME
• Foundation powered views (Welcome, auth view, error views)
• Versioning of css and js files (added in the master blade partial)

Feel free to use at will!
