NodeJS/NPM based Docker images to compile Front-End assets

This project provides Docker images designed to help processing front-end assets without the pain of having to deal with NodeJS/NPM local installation and package version issues.

Browse project branches to find about covered Front-End frameworks and their versions:

• Foundation Zurb Template - branch "master"
• Foundation Zurb Template - branch "v6.4"

Common prerequisites

• Docker installed
• Git installed

Customize existing image or build your own

Available NodeJS versions if any change is needed: https://github.com/nodesource/distributions/tree/master/deb.

Remember to use the raw URL given by Git in your script to avoid code formatting or line ending issues!

GOOD:

curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nodesource/distributions/master/deb/setup_6.x

BAD:

curl -s https://github.com/nodesource/distributions/blob/master/deb/setup_6.x

Docker Tips and tricks

• Remove one or more Docker image(s):

docker image rmi <image_ID>

or:

docker image rm <image_ID> --force

• Open a bash to execute commands inside of a Docker image (type "exit" to quit):

docker run --rm -it <image_name> bash

Common troubleshooting

Build error

Whenever you run an "npm install" command, look at the logs and if you see something like this:

npm WARN engine package@version: wanted: {"node":">= 6"} (current: {"node":"4.9.1","npm":"2.15.11"})

...try updating provided Dockerfile with suggested version of node.

TODO

• Better Git organisation
• Add docker-compose.yml
• Add more frameworks (Bootstrap 4, Bulma, ...)
