Builder is available in three versions:
builderapp/Builder-win32-ia32/Builder.exe
builderapp/Builder-linux-x64/Builder
builderapp/Builder-darwin-x64/Builder.app
If you want to create a new bundle, choose the destination folder and specify unique build directory.
You can use Builder app to update version of an existing bundle - just choose an existing build directory path.
NOTE: Files in the custom
directory will not be affected.
Select required components. You do not need to worry about dependencies - all dependencies between components will be handled automatically.
The "Options" tab lets you configure build/compilation process:
Select which color schemes/versions to include in the bundle.
Change default distrubution paths. This is useful when you need
to compile sources into a directory placed outside of the bundle directory.
Note: Dist directory path must be relative to the build directory path.
Minify assets and remove/keep unminified versions of assets.
Include RTL support by checking "Include RTL support" checkbox.
Disable sources compilation by unchecking "Compile CSS"/"Compile JS" checkbox.
NOTE: This option also will affect the appropriate compile
/compile:*
Gulp tasks.
Before each compilation of CSS sources will be removed:
{css_assets_path}/bootstrap*
{css_assets_path}/pixeladmin*
{css_assets_path}/widgets*
{css_assets_path}/themes
Before each compilation of JS sources will be removed:
When concatenated version is selected
{concatenated_assets_path}/bootstrap*
{concatenated_assets_path}/pixeladmin*
When RequireJS version is selected
{requirejs_assets_path}/requirejs*
{requirejs_assets_path}/bootstrap
{requirejs_assets_path}/pixeladmin
{requirejs_assets_path}/libs
When angular version is selected
{angular_assets_path}/angular*
{angular_assets_path}/bootstrap*
{angular_assets_path}/ui-bootstrap*
{angular_assets_path}/pixeladmin
{angular_assets_path}/libs
Click on the start button and wait for the building process end.
On Mac OS X, when you trying to launch Builder app, appears a window "“Builder” can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer."
On Mac OS X El Capitan / Sierra you getting the "xcrun: error: invalid active developer path" error while installing Node / Bower packages
