A sample project that compiles less and coffeescript files as well as combining and minifying static files for release to production. This builds purely static flat files and is an easy way to make it nicer to build a static HTML page.
The main grunt tasks it uses are grunt-contrib-less, grunt-contrib-coffee, and grunt-usemin.
Install nodejs and npm (they come together), then install grunt-cli.
Then just run npm install in the root directory of this project.
Auto-compile .less and .coffee files from the src/less/ and src/coffee folders (and place the results in src/css/ and src/js/).
grunt watch
Build the project into the dist/ folder: compile .less and .coffee files, run jshint, and combine any static assets that are specified in build HTML comments (see examples in src/index.html) with versioned file names (for safe caching).
grunt
The project expects a specific structure of all development files inside the src/ folder, just one HTML file as index.html, and specific names for the packaged and minified assets. Look in Gruntfile.js for more details and to change settings/functionality.
If you want to store files directly in src/css/ or src/js/, then make sure to remove the ignores for them inside the .gitignore file.
