#grunt-init-crema

Create a Node.js web app with grunt-init in which the client and server share JavaScript modules. Generated project contains tests for both and uses grunt and karma to watch and rerun tests on file changes. Build runs tests, jshint, copies files to a build directory and optimizes RequireJS modules.

Requirements

grunt

grunt-cli

grunt-init

karma

Firefox

Scaffold installation

Once grunt-init is installed, place this template in your ~/.grunt-init/ directory. It's recommended that you use git to clone this template into that directory, as follows:

git clone https://github.com/dave-m-miranda/grunt-init-crema.git ~/.grunt-init/crema

(Windows users, see the documentation for the correct destination directory path)

Scaffold usage

At the command-line, cd into an empty directory, run this command and follow the prompts.

grunt-init crema

Note that this template will generate files in the current directory, so be sure to change to a new directory first if you don't want to overwrite existing files.

Project installation

npm install

Building

grunt

Running karma

karma start

Run tests and jshint whenever src or test JS files change.

grunt watch

Start server, pointed at src directory (default is port 3000)

node src/server/app

Start server, pointed at build directory (be sure to build first)

node build/server/app
