angular-seed-coffeeless — the seed for AngularJS apps, with some less and coffee

This project is an application skeleton for a typical AngularJS web app, using less and coffeescript. You can use it to quickly bootstrap your angular webapp projects and dev environment for these projects.

This seed project is a direct conversion from the angular-seed project.

Getting Started

To get you started you can simply clone the repository and install the dependencies. See the original angular-seed project for a comprehensive getting started guide. Coffeescript and less are configured as regular dependencies, so they will also be installed. However, you will probably want to install Coffeescript globally, to take advantage of the REPL:

npm install -g coffee-script

Running the App during Development

When using npm start, two watch processes are automatically started that compile your source files automatically when you make changes. To run them in isolation, use npm run watch-coffee and npm run watch-less.
