Symfony Grunt Edition

This is a Symfony Edition that replaces Assetic with a grunt configuration. I have some taken some liberties based on my development style. When doing frontend development, I don't like waiting for some kind of watch task. I like my updates to be instant. This edition allows for your frontend assets to be linked to the source in development and linked to the minified version in production.

Requirements

npm
bower (sudo npm install -g bower)
grunt (sudo npm install -g grunt-cli)

Installation

> composer install
> bower install
> npm install
> grunt

Grunt Tasks

clean: removes web/_static contents
jshint: detect errors in your javascipt
uglify: minify your javascipt
cssmin: minify your css
modernizr: install/configure modernizr based on your javascript files\
(default): runs all the above

Configuration

To configure the assets for you project, add them to app/config/assets.json. Both Symfony2 and grunt use this configuration.
