An awesome requirejs app
Make sure you have the latest packages installed
npm install
bower install
Note: If you don't have npm installed, make sure you have
node installed. If you don't have bower,
npm install -g bower.
The above steps will download all the required software to build and run this app, such as grunt, requirejs, and jquery.
You can run your app using grunt preview. This will start a
server on localhost:8000, meaning you can simply go to the
url localhost:8000/index.htm
while it's running.
If you'd like to run the compiled version, run
grunt preview-live.
This application uses requirejs to load the various modules in the app folder. However, upon build, all of these files are concatenated and minified together to create a small, compressed javascript file.
Running grunt by itself will run through all of the steps of
linting the javascript, building out dependencies and ultimately
creating /dist/require.js.
There's just enough to in place to get you going. Go ahead
and make your changes to index.htm. You'll start your
javascript work in app/main.js by requiring your first
modules. Past that, well, the world is your oyster.
Note: you need phantomJS to run the tests.
The test directory uses qunit, which is run using phantomJS
in the console, but can also be ran by launching the server
grunt preview and going to localhost:8000/test/index.html.
Create tests in the test/tests.js file, where you can
require your modules and test their functionality.
Assuming you're already ran npm install and bower install,
the only pieces required to run the application in its built
state is running grunt.
If you're using a webserver like apache or nginx, you'll want
to create a redirect from /components/requirejs/require.js to
/dist/require.js. (Note: this is exactly what grunt preview-live does)
