sterno
Tired of appcache being broken? Still need to work with offline or packaged apps? I'm here to help.
Example
Create a bootloader.js entry point to tell sterno what your app's origin is
and what files you want it to manage:
var sterno = require('sterno');
sterno('http://imlucas.github.io/node-sterno', ['/app.js']);And create a gulpjs file like:
var gulp = require('gulp'),
browserify = require('gulp-browserify'),
githubPages = require('gulp-github-pages'),
manifest = require('gulp-sterno-manifest');
gulp.task('manifest', function(){
gulp.src('./.build/**/*')
.pipe(manifest({
version: '0.0.1'
}))
.pipe(gulp.dest('./.build/sterno-manifest.json'));
});
gulp.task('build', function(){
gulp.src('./{bootloader,app}.js')
.pipe(browserify({debug : false}))
.pipe(gulp.dest('./.build'));
gulp.src('./app/index.html')
.pipe(gulp.dest('./.build'));
});
gulp.task('publish', function(){
gulp.src('./.build/**/*')
.pipe(githubPages());
});
gulp.task('deploy', ['build', 'manifest', 'publish']);And a barebones index.html:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Sterno Demo</title>
</head>
<body>
<script src="bootstrap.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
When you run gulp deploy you got yourself a stew goin':
- browserify will build your
app.jsandbootloader.jsinto./.build - copy
index.htmlinto build - generate the manifest file for sterno to use
- deploy everything to your github pages
When you open your app in chrome, sterno will:
- phone home for your manifest file
- download everything in the manifest if it's your first time to the app
- only download assets that have changed in the manifest
- if an asset hasn't changed, it will just be served locally
@todo: Actually check-in this example.
Testing
See project on travisci or just run locally if you have phantomjs installed:
