Grunt power: developing and releasing your web app has never been so easy
Abstract
Grunt is a very (very) powerful tool to automate your JavaScript webapp development and release tasks. During a step by step live demo, I will present how to use this tool and why this is a must have in every front-end developers toolbox.
During live demos, we will see how to use Grunt to :
- start a local server to run your application
- watch for code or style modifications (live reload)
- compile SASS/LESS files to regular CSS
- concatenate and minify JavaScript files
- check for JavaScript errors against our pre-defined standard (thanks to JSHint)
- add copyright headers to files
- run unit tests and end-to-end tests
- deploy the app to your integration servers
