Creating is exactly like creating a normal site with Gutenberg, except you
|
|
will want to use many [Tera blocks](https://tera.netlify.com/docs/templates/#inheritance) to
|
|
allow users to easily modify it.
|
|
|
|
A theme also need to have a `theme.toml` configuration file with the
|
|
following fields, here's the one from a [real template](https://github.com/Keats/hyde):
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
name = "hyde"
|
|
description = "A classic blog theme"
|
|
license = "MIT"
|
|
homepage = "https://github.com/Keats/gutenberg-hyde"
|
|
# The minimum version of Gutenberg required
|
|
min_version = "0.1"
|
|
|
|
# Any variable there can be overriden in the end user `config.toml`
|
|
# You don't need to prefix variables by the theme name but as this will
|
|
# be merged with user data, some kind of prefix or nesting is preferable
|
|
# Use snake_casing to be consistent with the rest of Gutenberg
|
|
[extra]
|
|
hyde_sticky = true
|
|
hyde_reverse = false
|
|
hyde_theme = ""
|
|
hyde_links = [
|
|
{url = "https://google.com", name = "Google.com"},
|
|
{url = "https://google.fr", name = "Google.fr"},
|
|
]
|
|
|
|
# The theme author info: you!
|
|
[author]
|
|
name = "Vincent Prouillet"
|
|
homepage = "https://vincent.is"
|
|
|
|
# If this is porting a theme from another static site engine, provide
|
|
# the info of the original author here
|
|
[original]
|
|
author = "mdo"
|
|
homepage = "http://markdotto.com/"
|
|
repo = "https://www.github.com/mdo/hyde"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
A theme will also need three directories to work:
|
|
|
|
- `static`: any static files used in this theme
|
|
- `templates`: all templates used in this theme
|
|
- `sass`: Sass stylesheets for this theme, can be empty
|
|
|
|
To be featured on this site, the theme will require two more things:
|
|
|
|
- `screenshot.png`: a screenshot of the theme in action, its size needs to be reasonable
|
|
- `README.md`: a thorough README explaining how to use the theme and any other information
|
|
of importance
|
|
|
|
A simple theme you can use as example is [Hyde](https://github.com/Keats/hyde).
