Builder Pipelines

Purple Experience Builder

Pipelines in the Purple Experience Builder add processing steps for dynamic resources before they are merged or pushed. They can be run manually or triggered automatically in the builder when you change affected files. This allows you to write SCSS and compile it to one CSS file that gets delivered in Purple Apps and Web, increasing developer experience and performance.

For more information about styling see Experience Styling

Pipelines can be configured in a builder.config.json in the default folder of the dynamic resources in the Purple Experience Builder.

A minimal and some other example configurations:

Each pipeline has an input and output. Additionally, other fields are available to further configure the pipeline, see schema or autocomplete of the editor for more info about available fields.

If an output file is opened in the Experience Builder, it is read-only to prevent accidental changes that would get overwritten anyway if the pipeline runs again.

Reference: https://sass-lang.com/

The sass pipeline requires an input file and an output file.

It is recommended to place all SCSS files in a single folder and import all in an index.scss which in turn generates the default/storefront/custom.css.

When specifying watchFiles , the pipeline automatically re-runs if a matching file is changed. You can specify multiple file globs, following the https://github.com/isaacs/minimatch rules (see also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glob_(programming))
