Theme Tools

Overview

Theme Tools by Basalt offers a flexible and un-opinionated approach to front-end development through its comprehensive monorepo. This collection of tools is designed to address various needs in web development, simplifying tasks such as CSS compilation, asset management, and linting. By harnessing individual npm packages within the monorepo, developers can tailor their setups according to project-specific requirements, providing both versatility and ease of integration into existing workflows.

Theme Tools tackles these hurdles by presenting a suite of plugins, each aimed at solving a particular problem. Whether it's managing vendor prefixes or compressing files, these tools empower developers to create efficient solutions seamlessly.
