Proton Beta 5

Updates

• New watch command allows you to spin up a local server and recompile templates as they are updated.
• New init --template option allows you to create a new project based off a pre-defined template. Only sites works as an value for now.
• New Proton template with Foundation for Sites: https://github.com/foundation/proton-sites-template
• Sitemap fixes
• Better file cleanup

Watch

The new watch feature requires the following NPM packages to be installed in your repo.

yarn add browser-sync chokidar -D

There are 2 new configuration values for this:

npmBuild: yarn
devserver: browsersync

• npmBuild is the command that would be run via terminal to build the NPM released for this site. The default is yarn build.
• devserver has two possible options at this time: browsersync and php

Init Template

Right now, only one template exists for Proton. It uses Foundation for Sites as its base. You can create a new project using this template via terminal. The folder that you create this project in must be blank.

$ proton init --template=sites
$ yarn install

You can also pass any GitHub URL to the template option and it will clone that repo as a template. Feel free to start creating your own templates for proton.

How to Update

You can update proton simply by running proton self-update. Enjoy the update!
