Create a theme

Workshop Module

Introduction

The theme scaffolder is a command line tool that will give you the ability to generate themes in a matter of seconds.

To have a quick idea on what it does you can check out this quickcast.

The usage is pretty simple and straightforward. Simply call the following command from the project root:

php artisan asgard:theme:scaffold

You will be asked the following questions:

What is the theme name

This is in the following format vendor/name all lowercase.
Do you wish to make a backend or front end theme ?

And that's it. You'll find you newly created theme under the Themes/ directory.

You can create themes manually as well, all a theme needs is the theme.json file to be registerable on the Stylist package.

After you created the theme.json file, run a php artisan cache:clear.

In both cases you will need to active the theme from the backend Settings page, "Front end template".
