This is a sample project that uses Grunt for automating common tasks.
This code has been extracted from my quickstart guide to Grunt: Power-Up Your Front-End Development With Grunt.
- Node and
npm(see NodeJS - Install
grunt-cliglobally:npm install -g grunt-cli
Once you have installed the requirements, checkout this repository and run npm install:
git clone git@github.com:belen-albeza/grunt-demo.git
cd grunt-demo
npm install
These are high level tasks that build up common work flows in development.
Run a server and re-compile asssets:
grunt server
The task above will lint your code, compile Sass stylesheets, run a local server, open a browser pointing to the app, and watch for changes to Sass file so they are automatically recompiled.
We can also run tests in the console, or run them in a browser:
grunt test
grunt test:browser
The tasks above will lint your code, and run your Jasmine specs. When using test:browser it will automatically run a local server and open the browser for you.
There's a task to generate a release (ie: code for production) of your app:
grunt release
That will compile your Sass stylesheets optimized for production, run your Jasmine tests and generate a zip you can use for deployment in a server.
Lint your code (see custom JSHint rules in .jshintrc):
grunt jshint
Clean all temporary and release files:
grunt clean
Compile your Sass stylesheets for development or production:
grunt sass:dev
grunt sass:prod
