derby-standalone-builder

Build Derby-standalone app from regular Derby.js app

The result you get is a single file with your Derby app that can be run offline and hosted on a static website hosting providers like GitHub Pages

Usage

builder.build(app, publicPath, outPath, initBundle, cb)

outPath by default is publicPath + '/derby/index.html'

Simplest example:

// build.js

var app = require('./src/app');
var builder = require('derby-standalone-builder')

builder.build(app, __dirname);

Run with node build.js and open the generated ./derby/index.html file directly in your browser to check that it's working offline.

Example with more options and a test server running to quickly test build.

# build.coffee

# Require your regular Derby.js app
app = require './src/app'

builder = require 'derby-standalone-builder'
path = require 'path'

publicPath = path.normalize(__dirname + '/public') 

builder.build app, publicPath, null
, (browserify) ->
  # Put here some additional scripts to include into bundle 
  # or expose via browserify.require  

  # I.e. jQuery installed via Bower:
  browserify.add path.join publicPath, 'vendor/jquery/dist/jquery.js'  
  
, (outPath) ->  
  console.log 'Derby-standalone build created: ' + outPath
  builder.runTestServer(publicPath)

Run

coffee build.coffee

This will genenate a Derby-standalone app from your regular Derby.js app and run a simple server on localhost:3000 which serves the result of the build -- single static index.html file.
