#An Intro to Front-End Driven App Solutions
This is the repo for my demo apps to back my talk about Front-End Driven / Static Web Apps for the April Front-End Orlando meetup.
I have chosen to show off the abilities of one Backend as a Service, Firebase, and an awesome open source project, Hoodie.
I learned how to use Firebase from Codecademy's API Track.
##How to run the various apps
-
Make sure you have the grunt-cli and node installed on your system. If not: Grunt
-
Then run:
npm install, which should install all the grunt plugins and dependencies. -
Add the Hoodie command line interface to work with the hoodie app. Follow the appropriate direction here: Hoodie
-
To start the app servers:
- For Firebase:
grunt serveFire - For Hoodie:
cd hoodie/trooper && hoodie start
- If you make any edits to the sass or javascript files, make sure you're running
gruntin another command line window to watch for changes and reload the page.
