Base16 Builder, implemented in Node JS
npm install base16-builder-node




A builder for schemes and templates based on clear, universal style specifications. The output is app specific theming configurations. _Build a color scheme once, use it everywhere._
Features
- Supports both base16 and base24 style specs (with more to come)
- Chris's original Base16 v0.2 styling spec
- Base24 (5625d94) styling spec
- Conforms to the Builder v0.10.1 spec
- Builds all installed templates/schemes in one quick pass
A specification details palette architecture and how it should be used for rendering application UI or syntax highlighting. Real life implementations of a style specification typically include a color scheme and app templates.
Supported specifications
- Base16 - an architecture of carefully chosen syntax highlighting using a base of just sixteen colors.
- Base24 - Base16 plus an additional 8 colors to allow using all 16 ANSI colors in the terminal.
```
npm install -g base16-builder-node
This package provides a base16 console command. Invoke it from any directory you want to build your themes, templates, and schemes in.
Your working directory will need the following substructure:
- base16/schemesbase16/templates
-
`sh`
$ cd working_dir
$ mkdir -p base16/templates && cd base16
$ git clone https://github.com/base16-project/base16-schemes.git schemes
$ cd templates
$ git clone [your template of choice]
$ git clone [another template of choice]
$ base16 build base16 --prefix base16-
Builds all templates found in base16/templates using all scheme files from base16/schemes applying the base16- prefix to each.
The theme files will be generated inside every template directory in the
subdirectory specified by that template's configuration.
For example: textmate. The built files would be found at:
./templates/textmate/Themes,
The easiest thing is to simply maintain your template repository inside your base16-build working folder (or symlink it).
You could facilitate this easily (from inside your template dir) with a tiny build script, etc:
`shell``
#!/bin/bash
cd ../../..
base16 build
