This project is based on gulp-starter and includes jade templating, HTML5 boilerplate, Normalize, html5shiv, bourbon, neat and bitters.
It also includes Velocity and jQuery 2.x (velocity dependency). You can easily remove them from package.json before installing.
npm install
After that, just run the default gulp task with:
gulp
All paths and plugin settings have been abstracted into a centralized config object in gulp/config.js. Adapt the paths and settings to the structure and needs of your project.
There is also a production task you can run:
gulp production
This will run JavaScript tests, then re-build optimized, compressed css and js files to the build folder, as well as output their file sizes to the console. It's a shortcut for running the following tasks: karma, images, sass,pubfiles, jade, minifyCss, uglifyJs.
This repo includes a basic js testing setup with the following: Karma, Mocha, Chai, and Sinon. There is karma gulp task, which the production task uses to run the tests before compiling. If any tests fail, the production task will abort.
To run the tests and start monitoring files:
./node_modules/karma/bin/karma start
Want to just run karma start? Either add alias karma="./node_modules/karma/bin/karma" to your shell config or install the karma command line interface globally with npm install -g karma-cli.
