Gsp

Intro

Gsp encourages to use multiple git repositories for development and one subversion repository for production to make code clean, it will be in charge of the synchronous work. Use multiple repositories is very suitable for frontend development, it encourages a independent workflow and can be easly integrated with other tools like JIRA and Phabraicator. Especially, gsp allow static resource files(like javascript and css) combining across repositories which has great significance to the performance of webpage.

Gsp uses git hooks(pre-commit) to integrate lint and unit tests, besides it support coffee and less autocompiling.

Installation

Install the application with: npm install -g gsp.

The simulator

Gsp has simulator running for generating temple files based on resource requst, in additon, it can accomplish some tasks like lint and unit tests before commiting changes.

1. Run gsp pull in a new directory(path/to/workspace, for example) to clone all the development repositories.
2. Run gsp start on directory above to start a simulator for resource requst
3. Config a webserver(nginx/apache/lighttpd) and start

Config nginx

server {
  listen       80;
  server_name  static.resource.com;
  charset utf-8;

  location ~* \.(?:ttf|eot|woff)$ {
      add_header "Access-Control-Allow-Origin" "*";
      expires 1M;
      access_log off;
      add_header Cache-Control "public";
      proxy_set_header x-request-filename $request_filename;
      proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:7070;
  }

  location ~* /.+\.[a-z]+$ {
      proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:7070;
  }
}

Configs for communication

Gsp use a special domain "gsp.com" for interacting with server, this domain must link to the machine where the gsp server runs. You can bind it in your DNS provider, or just edit the hosts file.

Repository configuration

Every development repository should contain a .gspconfig file.
