Adding new plugins

Adding a new plugin to your Sparrow is simple. You Here are two ways you can do that.

Simple approach(without npm)

Place your new plugin in public/vendors folder. Eg: to add the Swiperjs plugin, we will download it from here, unzip it and place the swiper folder in public/vendors folder. You can now simply link the plugin files to your HTML and use them.

Using npm

Suppose we are installing the swiperjsplugin. Here are the steps:

Step 1:

run npm command for install plugin. for swiperjswe can run

 npm i swiper

Step 2:

Go to vendors.json file and give the path directory from node_modules as follow

"swiper": {
	"src": ["swiper-bundle.min.js", "swiper-bundle.min.css"],
	"dest": "swiper"
}

Here, dest refers to public/vendors/, where gulp will copy files from the swiperjs plugin. We actually use the vendors folder to store necessary plugins. And all the plugins folder name will be as we give the dest value

Step 3:

Run the following command:

gulp vendor:move
