The certifiably easiest way to manage your entire publication lifecycle, from submission, to review, to publication, to sales.
This repo was built with Yeoman. It's just a basic web app, very little javascript, but it's nice to be able to write Jade (similar to Haml, but for node) templates and Coffeescript.
To install Yeoman, you'll need nodejs and npm, the Node.js Package
Manager. You can install these with homebrew on OSX with brew install node. (I think that includes npm, too. If the next command doesn't work, you
may need to brew install npm, too. Please update these docs when you verify.)
Once you've got that, go ahead and install Yeoman:
npm install -g yo
To run the dev environment, run grunt server from the project directory.
Then, as you save changes to the files, your browser will be automatically
updated with your changes.
To minify everything for production, run grunt. This will minify & concat
files and put them all in the dist directory. You can make sure it looks good
by opening dist/index.html.
If that looks good, you can push the dist directory to the gh-pages branch on github with the following command:
git subtree push --prefix dist origin gh-pages
After you ensure that works, deploy to prod (on AWS) using rake! You'll need the following gems:
- aws
- mime-types
You'll also need my S3 credentials in a config.yml file. Which I won't give you, probably! I guess these are just my notes. ;-)
Run rake -T to see the available rake commands. Check the Rakefile to see
what they do (or, read this excellent article that I stole it all from.)
