Its been a while since the last release for my toolset for Theming in SharePoint development. I work on a product, and I have to make sure that the web part design is flexible enough to work great with any SharePoint applied theme. I discovered many changes in the currently available theme slots.
The support in case of SASS variables in your standard SharePoint project is limited. It was time to update my tool, but it comes with more great features that only SASS variables.
I am pretty excited that finally the first version of the open source community driven SPFx generator has been released last Thursday and publicly announced and is part of the SharePoint / Office 365 Pattern and Practices Personally, for me, it was a great journey to bring this to life in collaboration with Microsoft engineering.
It was a longer journey than expected but there were some considerations and decisions to make to have a solid fundament for future improvements and to allow fast and easy integrations.

# define variables for script
$SiteUrl = "http://yourserver/sites/yoursite"
$viewurl = "http://yourserver/sites/yoursite/Lists/customlist/AllItems.aspx"
$targetUrl = Get-SPWeb -Identity $SiteUrl
if ($targetUrl -ne $null)
{
$targetFile = $targetUrl.GetFile($viewurl)
if($targetFile.Exists)
{
Write-Host "Created By: " $targetFile.Author
Write-Host "Modified: " $targetFile.TimeLastModified
Write-Host "Modified By: " $targetFile.ModifiedBy
Write-Host "Created: " $targetFile.TimeCreated
}
else
{
Write-Host "File doesn't exist"
}
