NOTE: This project is used on Chocolatey websites and is being released for the benefit of the community. While we endeavour to help and fix issues, it will be limited to GitHub issues, discussions and pull requests when we are able to.
This repository holds all of the CSS, JS, images, and shared partial files that are used across many Chocolatey projects.
Navigate to the root of your repository where you want the node_modules folder to be installed. Follow the directions at the below links:
- https://yarnpkg.com/getting-started/install#install-corepack
- https://yarnpkg.com/getting-started/install#initializing-your-project
A new package.json and .yarnrc.yml file will be generated after the above steps are complete.
In the newly generated .yarnrc.yml file, copy the following lines to the end of the document:
nodeLinker: node-modules
checksumBehavior: "update"
In the choco-theme repository, navigate to getting-started/_package.json, and copy the contents into the new package.json file that was just created in your project.
- Be sure not to change lines 2 and 3, as these are specific to your new project.
- Update the git information in the package.json file in your new project to the correct information.
Add the following lines to the .gitignore file in your repository. Any file path containing input may need updated to your specific repository folder structure.
input/assets/css/
input/assets/js/
input/assets/fonts/
input/assets/images/global-shared/
input/global-partials/
apple-touch-*.png
favicon.ico
node_modules/
.pnp.*
.yarn/*
!.yarn/patches
!.yarn/plugins
!.yarn/releases
!.yarn/sdks
!.yarn/versions
In the choco-theme repository, navigate to getting-started/_gulpfile.js, and copy the file into your new repository in the same directory as the package.json file. Change the name to gulpfile.js.
Depending on the new project setup, the variable paths in gulpfile.js may need updated. There is a block in gulpfile.js that should look similar to below:
const paths = {
input: 'input/',
assets: 'input/assets/',
partials: 'input/global-partials',
node_modules: 'node_modules/',
theme: 'node_modules/choco-theme/'
};
In the choco-theme repository, navigate to getting-started/_bundleconfig.json, and copy the file into your new repository in the same directory as the package.json file. Change the name to bundleconfig.json.
In the bundle named input/assets/js/chocolatey.bundle.js you will need to modify the input file name to match the name of your project. Replace the ${projectName} variable.
In choco-theme, you will need to copy a file inside of js/init into the same folder and name it according to the project name, and the name that you chose for the bundleconfig.json file's input path in the step above.
At this point, an informed decision will need to be made about what JavaScript files from choco-theme need to be included in the project.
From the command line in the root of your repository where the package.json file is located, run the command:
yarn
This will generate the node_modules folder an install any dependencies.
From the command line in the root of your repository where the package.json file is located, run the command:
gulp
This will generate all the CSS and JS and place images and global partials in the correct folders.
Directly before the closing </head> tag in your HTML document, include the following lines:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/assets/css/chocolatey.bundle.min.css">
<script type="text/javascript" src="/assets/js/chocolatey-head.bundle.min.js"></script>
Directly before the closing </body> tag in your HTML document, include the following lines:
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://polyfill.io/v3/polyfill.min.js?features=default,Array.prototype.includes,Array.prototype.find,Number.parseFloat%2CNumber.parse%2CNodeList.prototype.forEach%2CNumber.parseInt"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/assets/js/chocolatey.bundle.min.js"></script>
File paths may need to be updated based on your project structure.
Given that everything succeeded, choco-theme is set up and ready to go!

Along with external libraries, choco-theme contains many individual custom JavaScript and TypeScript files. The functions have been split up in a way that allows them to be included if desired in any project, minimizing the need for them to be required. While the majority of choco-theme is JavaScript, it is now encouraged to write any new code in TypeScript and place it in the js/ts directory. This will be converted to JavaScript when running gulp.

Global partials are imported on-demand by each project individually. They supply content that is used across multiple projects in an effort to reduce duplication of code.
