Squarespace Toolbelt

Utilities for building and maintaining Squarespace templates

Installation

npm install --save-dev @squarespace/toolbelt

Usage

In your package.json you can use Squarespace Toolbelt to automatically run build tasks on Squarespace tempalates. Example:

{
  "name": "your-squarespace-template",
  "version": "0.0.1",
  "devDependencies": {
    "@squarespace/toolbelt": "^0.1.0",
    "webpack": "^1.12.9"
  },
  "scripts": {
    "build":  "squarespace assemble && webpack",
    "watch":  "squarespace assemble -wT & webpack --watch",
    "server": "squarespace runserver -T",
    "start":  "squarespace setup && (npm run watch & npm run server)",
    "deploy": "squarspace setup && squarespace deploy"
  }
  ...
}

Above we include @squarespace/toolbelt in the devDependencies, and then use squarespace assemble in the project's build and watch scripts.

Automatic Reloading

The assemble command is designed to work with Squarespace Development Server's --trigger-reload option to automatically refresh the browser each time a change is detected. To take advantage of this, run assemble with the -T or --trigger-reload and -w or --watch flags like so:

squarespace assemble -wT

This will watch your build folder, automatically assembling each time a file changes, and triggering the dev server to reload.

You must also run the dev server with -T or --trigger-reload to listen for the triggers:

squarespace runserver -T

For more info see the reference below.

Reference

Squarespace Toolbelt exposes several scripts you can use in your template's package.json:

squarespace [options] [command]

Commands:

clean                cleans the build directory
assemble             assembles Squarepace template files into the build directory
deploy [repository]  deploys a Squarepace template
runserver            runs the Squarespace Development Server. (Must be installed separately. See http://developers.squarespace.com/local-development.)
setup                configures a Squarepace template for local development
help [cmd]           display help for [cmd]

Options:

-h, --help     output usage information
-V, --version  output the version number

squarespace setup [options]

Options:

-h, --help                   output usage information
-d, --directory <directory>  Directory to setup. Default is the current one.

squarespace assemble [options]

Options:

-h, --help                        output usage information
-n, --noclean                     Assemble without first cleaning the output directory.
-w, --watch                       Watch for changes and assemble incrementally.
-d, --directory <directory>       Source directory. Default is '.'
-o, --output <output>             Output directory for assembled files. Default is 'build'
-T, --trigger-reload [host:port]  Trigger Local Development Server to reload on each assemble.
-l, --legacy                      Copies scripts directory for older templates with squarespace:script tags.

Using --trigger-reload:

Trigger reload takes an optional [host:post] that defaults to "localhost:9000". You can also provide a full domain with protocol, such as "https://192.168.10.10:3000". Typically all that's needed to watch your template files and trigger the Local Development Server is:

squarespace assemble -wT

squarespace clean [options]

Options:

-h, --help                   output usage information
-d, --directory <directory>  Directory to clean. Default is 'build'

squarespace deploy [options] [repository]

Options:

-h, --help                   output usage information
-d, --directory <directory>  Deploy from this directory. Default is 'build'
-m, --message <message>      Deployment message. Default is 'sqs-deploy <date time>'
-w, --watch                  Watch the build directory for changes and deploy automatically.

squarepace runserver URL [options]

Runs Squarespace Local Development Server.

Requires @squarespace/server to be installed globally.

Options:

-h --help                           output usage information
-d --directory=PATH                 Path to cloned template repository [default ./build].
-p --port=PORT                      Port that server listens on [default 9000].
-T --trigger-reload                 Listen for reload trigger and refresh page.
--host=HOST                         Host that server listens on [default localhost].
--auth                              Log in to work on trial or password protected sites.
