Web Rules for Bazel

How to use

Install Bazel and set up a workspace
Add rules_web as a git_repository to the WORKSPACE file

  git_repository(
      name = "rules_web",
      remote = "https://github.com/quittle/rules_web.git",
  )

Load the 3 sets of dependencies in order in your WORKSPACE file. It is multi-stage due to the way Bazel handles repository rule loading.

  load("@rules_web//:rules_web_deps_1.bzl", "rules_web_dependencies")
  rules_web_dependencies()
  load("@rules_web//:rules_web_deps_2.bzl", "rules_web_dependencies")
  rules_web_dependencies()
  load("@rules_web//:rules_web_deps_3.bzl", "rules_web_dependencies")
  rules_web_dependencies()

Load rule files from non-internal.bzl Bazel files.

  load("@rules_web//html:html.bzl", "html_page")
  load("@rules_web//fonts:fonts.bzl", "font_generator", "minify_ttf")
