Note: -

Due to purpose based styleguide generation (Locally hosted and Server side hosting ready), An object of styleguide:generate on gulpfile needs to updated on conditional based.

• server: true - Commenting it out will generate the server hosting ready files.
• appRoot - Commenting it out will generate locally hosted styleguide, injecting latest files on client server.
