Download the start.zip from the course site and unzip it.
Add missing js/vendor/ and (minified) require.js library.
Add 'node_modules/' to your (global) git ignore patterns.
Install NPM modules for JSHint and Grunt
- using '-g' for global to put the executables on the PATH.
sudo npm install jshint -g
sudo npm install grunt -g
sudo npm install grunt-cli -g
sudo necessary on Mac's, mostly...
Create a Gruntfile.js
Also, install grunt locally for use in your current project:
npm install grunt
"use script";
Enforce ES6: As we control browser versions and fairly greenfield, we can probably put at the top of every file, but do per module too / instead...
Install karma:
sudo npm install karma -g
Use Karma's init to create the karma.conf.js config file:
karma init
Choices: Jasmine PhantomJS js//*.js test//*Spec.js test-main.js
Then, review start/karma.conf.js because you probably made a mistake...
Note the 'reporters' section: has code coverage options etc.
(The karma.conf.js looks very like a Gruntfile.js config file...)
Note that karma has relatively expensive startup costs => use karma's autowatch to avoid spin-up/down costs. But might be ok with high-spec dev machines, more of a laptop pain.
sudo karma start if trying to start headless PhantomJS. Possibly.
Can use karma start if you alter karma.conf.js to use Chrome rather than Phantom (e.g. to debug).
