Getting Started

A quick tutorial for how to use Dust https://github.com/linkedin/dustjs/wiki/Dust-Tutorial

Contributing

• Open https://github.com/linkedin/dustjs-helpers in a browser and fork it. Then clone your fork:

    git clone https://github.com/<your github account>/dustjs-helpers dustjs-helpers
    cd dustjs-helpers
  

• Set up a branch for what you are working on

    git checkout -b myBranchName
  

• Install Grunt-cli, it lets you run grunt commands. For more information see http://gruntjs.com/getting-started

    npm install -g grunt-cli
  

• Install node dependencies needed for development in this project

    npm install
  

• Make your changes on the branch and run jshint\tests to make sure changes are OK

    grunt test
  

• Commit your changes and push them to github

    git add .
    git commit -m "My changes to dustjs-helpers repo"
    git push origin myBranchName
  

• Go to github and post a pull request, see https://help.github.com/articles/creating-a-pull-request

Debugging

To debug code in a browser run grunt dev task. It will generate jasmine spec runner and serve it on http://localhost:3000/_SpecRunner.html URL. Generated spec runner references unminified dust-helpers.js and dust-full.js files. This will allow you to easily step through the code and set up breakpoints. This task also watches changes to lib directory, so you can simply refresh the page to see the changes without a need to re-run grunt dev task. Press Ctrl + C to disconnect from server.

Using watch

grunt watch will monitor dust-helpers.js and test spec files. Whenever change is made to those files, it will jshint them and run unit tests in Phantom (will not run them in node or rhino). It is handy way to keep testing your changes without a need to manually run grunt testPhantom task. Be sure to run grunt test before sending pull request. It will test your change in all environments and make sure that a travis build for your pull request succeeds.

Testing minified code in browser

Use grunt testClient to test prod version code in any browser. Similarly to grunt dev task it will host spec runner on http://localhost:3000/_SpecRunner.html URL.

Coverage report

Task grunt coverage runs jasmine unit tests against unminified source code and generates coverage report under tmp/coverage folder. Open index.html file in a browser to view the coverage.
