Installing a Themelet in Your Theme

After you’ve created your themelet, follow the steps below to install it into your theme.

Note: Gulp is included as a local dependency in generated themes, so you are not required to install it. It can be accessed by running node_modules\.bin\gulp followed by the Gulp task from a generated theme’s root folder.

1. Navigate to your theme’s root folder and run gulp extend.

2. Choose Themelet as the theme asset to extend.

3. Select Search globally installed npm modules, Search npm registry, or Specify a package URL to locate the themelet.

   

   Figure 1: You can extend your theme using globally installed npm modules or published npm modules.

   Note: You can retrieve the URL for a package by running npm show package-name dist.tarball.

4. Highlight your themelet, press spacebar to activate it, and press Enter to install it.

Great, now you know how to install a themelet in your theme! The next time you deploy your theme, the themelet will be bundled along with it.
