strangelove.nl

This repository contains the frontend component of the strangelove.nl website. We've opted for a split front/backend architecture to separate concerns. This allowed us to work on the website simultaneously without getting in each other's way.

The frontend consists of a small node server, written with express, that does API calls to the backend to retrieve its data, along with all the css and javascript goodness, of course.

The javascript is written in CommonJS format and then compiled using wrapup. The css is written in scss format and then compiled using node-sass. Additionally, we're using normalize.css and bourbon to aid us.

Installation

To run this website you'll need to meet the following requirements:

• Node.js
• grunt-cli - run npm install -g grunt-cli on the command line

And then do this:

$ git clone https://github.com/strangelove/strangelove.nl.git
$ cd strangelove.nl
$ npm install
$ grunt

You can also choose to just use nodemon or node app.js, but grunt will also handle watching and compiling scss and js files.
