DecoJS

Scalable frontend architecture

Getting Started

This project can be used with bower or npm. This will install both the concatenated and minified files, along with the sourcemap for both of them. It will also install the dependencies needed to run the project

bower install deco
#or
npm install decojs

DecoJS is only dependent on Require.js and Knockout.js. For more information on building websites with DecoJS, go to DecoJS.com!

Contribution

The rest of this readme is for contributors to this project.

This project requires node.js, grunt and bower. Download and install node js on your machine. Next install bower and grunt from the terminal:

npm install -g bower
npm install -g grunt-cli

Installation

This project uses grunt for installation, building and testing. With grunt and bower installed, the grunt command can be used to perform any of the other tasks. Before grunt can be used, some node packages must be installed:

npm install

Fetching Dependencies

Download the dependencies using bower:

grunt install

Building the project

Grunt can be used to concatenate the AMD modules and minify them:

grunt build

Running Tests

karma is used for automatic testing. In development a test server can be started, and the tests will be automatically run when a file changes:

grunt test

Connect to the test server by opening one or more browsers and navigating to http://localhost:9876

Buildserver

On the build server all of these steps (installing dependencies, building the project and running tests) can be done with the default grunt commant:

grunt

Releasing a new version

Grunt can be used to create a new version. This will commit the latest changes, increment the version and tag the commit with v..:

grunt release

When creating a new release, merge master to the release branch, update the releaseNotes.md file and then run the grunt release script. This will create a single commit with all the release info. Push the release branch to the server with tags, then publish the new version on npm, using

npm publish
