Build Tumblr themes with React. Test them on localhost.
NOTE: this is very much an experiment. It works, but run any mission-critical blogs at your own risk
npm -g i retumble
Or clone this repo, and npm link it.
retumble init tumblr-react-new
cd tumblr-react-new
npm install
This creates a new project called project. Ez.
retumble run
When ran from the root of the project, this will load data from a default sample blog. To use custom test data, use
retumble run --source http://<some retumble blog>.tumblr.com/
Where <some retumble blog> is a Tumblr blog that is using a retumble theme. No, if you point it at just some random blog this wont work; the blog needs to be running a retumble theme.
Use a theme on tumblr.com/customize
retumble ready | pbcopy
(pbcopy works on macOS. Use linux/window's own clipboard commands if that's what you're on)
The ready command will dump the bundled theme HTML. Paste this as "custom html" in tumblr.com/customize as you would with any other theme file.
Coming soon!
There's a few cool extras I implement so you don't have to.
- Infinite Scrolling
- A drawer for notes
- Resizable music player
Documentation coming I guess? You can also check the auto-generated project built with retumble init to check out usage.
Of course, being the first release adding react on top of what's already a kind of hacky themeing situation, there are certain limitations. At the moment:
Reblog, Like, etc.
More will be coming, open an issue if you have any requests
