name: frontend-develop description: Use this skill when working with JavaScript, build system, or frontend tooling. Covers ES6 modules, Laravel Mix, Webpack configuration, and JavaScript patterns used in this project.

Frontend Development

Overview

This project uses Laravel Mix (Webpack wrapper) for asset compilation. JavaScript source files are in src/js/ and compile to wp-content/themes/sardynkibiznesu-2.0/assets/.

Key Files

• webpack.mix.js - Laravel Mix configuration
• package.json - NPM dependencies and scripts
• src/js/index.js - Main frontend entry point
• src/js/admin.js - Admin panel entry point
• src/js/*.js - Feature modules

Build Commands

Copynpm run development    # Watch mode with source maps
npm run production     # Optimized production build

JavaScript Architecture

Entry Point (index.js)

Copy// Import side-effect modules (auto-initialize)
import './navigation'
import './search-toggler'
import './scroll-to-top'

// Import modules that need manual initialization
import tablePrice from "./table-price";
import AdsConversions from "./ads-conversions";
import { countdownTimer } from "./countdown-timer";

// Initialize on window load
window.addEventListener('load', () => {
    new AdsConversions();
    tablePrice();
    countdownTimer();
});

Module Patterns

Side-Effect Module (auto-initializes):

Copy// navigation.js
const menuToggle = document.querySelector('.menu-toggle');
const navigation = document.querySelector('.navigation');

if (menuToggle && navigation) {
    menuToggle.addEventListener('click', () => {
        navigation.classList.toggle('is-open');
    });

    // Close on click outside
    document.addEventListener('click', (e) => {
        if (!navigation.contains(e.target) && !menuToggle.contains(e.target)) {
            navigation.classList.remove('is-open');
        }
    });
}

Class-Based Module (singleton pattern):

Copy// ads-conversions.js
export default class AdsConversions {
    constructor() {
        if (AdsConversions.instance) {
            return AdsConversions.instance;
        }
        AdsConversions.instance = this;

        this.init();
    }

    init() {
        this.setupConversionTracking();
    }

    setupConversionTracking() {
        // Implementation
    }
}

Function Module (default export):

Copy// table-price.js
export default function tablePrice() {
    const tables = document.querySelectorAll('.price-table');

    tables.forEach(table => {
        // Initialize table functionality
    });
}

Named Export Module:

Copy// countdown-timer.js
export function countdownTimer() {
    const timers = document.querySelectorAll('[data-countdown]');

    timers.forEach(timer => {
        const targetDate = new Date(timer.dataset.countdown);
        updateTimer(timer, targetDate);
    });
}

function updateTimer(element, targetDate) {
    // Implementation
}

Webpack Configuration

webpack.mix.js Structure

Copylet mix = require('laravel-mix');
let path = require('path');
let tailwindcss = require('tailwindcss');
require('laravel-mix-purgecss');

const themePath = 'wp-content/themes/sardynkibiznesu-2.0';

// Source maps only in development
if (!mix.inProduction()) {
    mix.sourceMaps(false, 'source-map');
}

// JavaScript compilation
mix.js('src/js/index.js', `${themePath}/assets/index.js`)
   .js('src/js/admin.js', `${themePath}/assets/admin.js`);

// SCSS compilation with Tailwind
mix.sass('src/scss/main.scss', `${themePath}/assets/main.css`)
   .sass('src/scss/admin.scss', `${themePath}/assets/admin.css`)
   .options({
       processCssUrls: false,
       postCss: [tailwindcss('tailwind.config.js')]
   });

// Copy fonts
mix.copyDirectory('src/fonts', `${themePath}/assets/fonts`);

// Watch options (ignore compiled files)
mix.webpackConfig({
    watchOptions: {
        ignored: /node_modules|wp-content\/themes\/sardynkibiznesu-2.0\/assets/
    }
});

Working with jQuery

jQuery is available globally via WordPress:

Copy// Option 1: Use window.jQuery
window.addEventListener('load', () => {
    jQuery('.element').on('click', function() {
        // ...
    });
});

// Option 2: Use $ alias inside IIFE
(function($) {
    $(document).ready(function() {
        $('.element').on('click', function() {
            // ...
        });
    });
})(jQuery);

Best Practices

1. Initialize on load - Use window.addEventListener('load', ...) for DOM-dependent code
2. Use ES6 modules - Import/export for code organization
3. Singleton for global features - Use class pattern with static instance
4. Keep modules focused - One feature per file
5. Check element existence - Always verify DOM elements before attaching listeners
6. Never edit assets/ - Only edit files in src/js/
7. Use const/let - Avoid var
