HTML5 Boilerplate skeleton for DocPad

Bare essentials for building a modern website with best practices

Why the fork?

This fork adds Grunt to show an example of taking the HTMLBP and minifying and concatenating all the JS and CSS assets into single files and including those in the layout.

What is different?

grunt-config.json

• This file is contains the object passed to grunt.initConfig in grunt.js. It has been put into its own file since it is used in docpad.coffee to build file lists for inclusion in the layout and deleting unused files.

grunt.js

• This is the Grunt file. It runs initConfig with the grunt-config.json object. It also registers a default task with all the keys from the config file.

docpad.coffee

• I added the helper functions getGruntedStyles and getGruntedScripts. These functions will return all the compiled assets that contain .min.(css|js) with the correct base path.
• A writeAfter DocPad event. It is based on this gist, with some additional functionality. It will run the default grunt command. Then it will use your grunt-config.json to delete the src files since they are no longer needed. It will also delete any empty directories in the 'out/' directory.

layouts/default.html.eco

• The script and style blocks have been replaced with calls to the helper functions described above.
