Progressive enhancement

If you’re using our components, make sure to include the following script in the <head> of your document:

<script>document.getElementsByTagName("html")[0].className += " js";</script>

The script is used in CSS to check if JavaScript is enabled and apply additional style accordingly.

Gulp

CodyFrame includes a Gulp configuration file. To start a project that runs on Gulp, navigate to the framework folder, and run the following two commands:

  1. Install the node modules
npm install
  1. Launch your project on a development server
npm run gulp watch

⚠️ Note: make sure you have Npm, Node, and Git installed.
