Development

The application uses Grunt for the frontend development workflow. Typically, a developer:

  • Installs all necessary components.
  • Runs a development server.
  • Develops!

Setup

First, install NPM and Bower dependencies:

$ npm install

Then copy over the vendor libraries to the application directory "app/js/vendor", which is .gitignore'd and not kept in source.

$ grunt build

From there, fire up a local static development server with:

$ grunt server

and from there you can view the application at:

Note that the application needs to be served and not accessed via file:// in order for all parts to properly work. You will want to leave the server running during development and refresh your browser to see changes.

Code Quality

We have several code quality checks for the project.

Run JsHint style checks:

$ grunt jshint

Run unit tests using Karma:

$ grunt test

Run everything:

$ grunt check

Next Steps

Generally speaking, just running:

$ grunt

builds the app and runs a basic set of quality checks. You can see more about available Grunt tasks with:

$ grunt --help
