So many developer tools and utilities are written in JavaScript and run under ‘Node.js’ (often called simply ‘Node’). It’s no surprise that developers who work on JavaScript applications like working in JavaScript. Although we’re talking about an AngularJS app here, ‘yeoman’ supports many different application types, and the basic ideas can be applied to almost any project that is built using a JavaScript framework.
We’ll use a tool called ‘yeoman’ to setup the template AngularJS application. This article will show you how to install and setup a build tool for your web projects. If we’re writing JavaScript, we might want to test it using the ‘jasmine’ behavioral testing framework.Īll these things require us to use a more traditional software development approach, where we have a ‘source’ tree that contains input files, and we use a build system to process this source into an ‘object’ form that we can deploy to a production server.
Perhaps we’d like to use a different dialect of JavaScript, like ECMAScript 6 or CoffeeScript. Or we’d like to put all our JavaScript into a single file and ‘minify’ it to speed up the initial page loading. For instance, we might want to use a style sheet compiler like ‘less’ or ‘sass’ to make it easier to create cascadable style sheet (css) files. To start with, apparently a lot of developers don’t do it right, and leave the ‘.git’ folder exposed.Īpart from that, it turns out that in most cases, we would like to do some processing on our web site or Single Page Application (SPA) source. There are a few problems with this approach. In fact, it’s fairly common for developers to simply put the entire web folder under version control (typically ‘git’ these days), and then simply pull updates into the web server’s web content folder. On the surface, one of the appealing things about developing JavaScript applications is that we can do a lot of work using a simple text editor to edit JavaScript and html files in a folder that is served out by a local web server. A Build System for AngularJS applications We’re not going to cover a lot of Angularjs territory – for that we’d recommend anAngularJS tutorial from our series.
AngularJS This AngularJS tutorial uses the Grunt app to build an Angularjs app.
