goodfest-2014

Front-end code for the GoodFest 2014 website

Getting Started

Prerequisites

The following software must be installed:

1. Git
2. Node.js
3. Optional: A Git GUI (I recommend SourceTree on Mac/Windows and SmartGit on Linux)

A basic understanding of Git is also assumed (and a basic understanding of the Git GUI if being used). There are plenty of informational articles/videos available online to learn the barebones.

Clone repository

Clone the repository into any folder you deem fit by executing the following in the command-prompt:

git clone https://github.com/GoodrickeJCRC/goodfest-2014.git
cd goodfest-2014

Setup front-end

Install the node.js requirements with:

npm install

Now compile the JavaScript and stylesheets with:

grunt

Live reloading

JavaScript/Less files will be recompiled on-the-fly as you modify them if you run the following and leave it in the background:

grunt watch

You can also download the LiveReload browser extension to automatically reload the page when you make changes, too.

Development Server

After the front-end has been compiled, the node.js development server can be ran with:

node server.js

The server will listen on localhost:8080.
