This is a script for Grunt.js - You need node, npm and grunt-cli installed
http://gruntjs.com/getting-started
Copy package.json and Gruntfile.js to the root of your sugar installation and run:
npm install
Edit Gruntfile.js and change fixpermsUser to your web server user and fixpermsGroup to a developers group (useful if multiple users are going to be working on the project)
grunt watch
This will watch your custom/modules directory for changes of .js files in the clients directories. On change it will lint them using jshint and clear cache/javasripts/base, cache/api and cache/modules so on the next request all javascript and metadata will be rebuilt!
You will be alerted on any errors that occur during the process so you can just leave it running in the background - This works using Growl for OS X or Windows, Mountain Lion and Mavericks Notification Center, and Notify-Send for Linux
grunt fixperms
This can be run seperately to fix permissions on the Sugar installation (this is run automatically when .js files are changed)
Note - Remember to add the following to your .gitignore if using git:
- /node_modules
- /package.json
- /Gruntfile.js
