vacation

vacation has two tools, build and server.

learn & use => wiki

server

vacation server now is still beta now, its goal is to be a express-like server for the front ent developers, the first step is serves for the static contents like html,css,javascript etc. and the second step is feed it a server.js file to serves for every dynamic content like a real server.

build

the build tools is designed for the seajs workflow. seajs is like require.js but the different specification called CMD. seajs has a brother called SPM,but the latest version of it is focus on the package manager, not the build tool, so vacation build appeared to resolve the problems, it holps to adapt different directory structure, and got some inspiration from FIS that generate a map.json file that you can get all informations of your source files in this file.
