from

Below is the command that required to run / compile the scss with gulpjs. If you are new to the gulpjs, you may refer to their official website for installation guide.
<!-- run the following command --> cd /your-path-url/admin/src/ npm install gulp transparent <!-- available command --> gulp plugins // generate plugins <!-- available theme command --> gulp // default theme gulp material // material theme gulp apple // apple theme gulp transparent // transparent theme gulp facebook // facebook theme gulp google // google theme
Verify that you are running at least node 22.x.x or later and npm 10.x.x by running node -v and npm -v in a terminal/console window. Older versions produce errors, but newer versions are fine.
To enable the RTL Support, you might need to change the following variable from admin/src/scss/transparent/_variables.scss.
<!-- LINE 221 --> $enable-rtl: true; <!-- run the command to regenerate the /css/transparent/app.min.css --> gulp transparent
We are using gulp to compile & combine few plugins js & css into one single file for js & css. This may help to improve the speed for page load if compare to multiple files loading in one page.
If you wish to edit the included plugins files, you may refer to the /admin/src/gulpfile.js.
Below is the list of plugins that compile into vendor.min.css.
return gulp.src([
'node_modules/animate.css/animate.min.css',
'node_modules/@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/css/all.min.css',
'node_modules/jquery-ui-dist/jquery-ui.min.css',
'node_modules/pace-js/themes/black/pace-theme-flash.css',
'node_modules/perfect-scrollbar/css/perfect-scrollbar.css'
])
.pipe(sass())
.pipe(concat('vendor.min.css'))
.pipe(minifyCSS())
.pipe(gulp.dest(distPath + '/assets/css/'))
.pipe(livereload());
Below is the code that compile Color Admin scss with Bootstrap scss into app.min.css.
return gulp.src([
'scss/transparent/styles.scss'
])
.pipe(sass())
.pipe(concat('app.min.css'))
.pipe(minifyCSS())
.pipe(gulp.dest(distPath + '/assets/css/transparent/'))
.pipe(livereload());
Below is the list of plugins that compile into vendor.min.js.
return gulp.src([
'node_modules/pace-js/pace.min.js',
'node_modules/jquery/dist/jquery.min.js',
'node_modules/jquery-ui-dist/jquery-ui.min.js',
'node_modules/bootstrap/dist/js/bootstrap.bundle.min.js',
'node_modules/perfect-scrollbar/dist/perfect-scrollbar.min.js',
'node_modules/js-cookie/dist/js.cookie.js'
])
.pipe(sourcemaps.init())
.pipe(concat('vendor.min.js'))
.pipe(sourcemaps.write())
.pipe(uglify())
.pipe(gulp.dest(distPath + '/assets/js/'))
.pipe(livereload());
Below is the code that compile Color Admin js file into app.min.js.
return gulp.src([
'js/app.js',
])
.pipe(sourcemaps.init())
.pipe(concat('app.min.js'))
.pipe(sourcemaps.write())
.pipe(uglify())
.pipe(gulp.dest(distPath + '/assets/js/'))
.pipe(livereload());
To change the color theme / primary color, you may refer to the _variables.scss and set the variable. Npm can be used to update the plugins version as well.
