Brunch With Grits

What is this project?

This is a brunch skeleton which provides the following tools:

• jQuery
• LoDash
• Backbone
• Marionette

How do I use it?

After installing brunch, run the following command to create a new project in a directory named example:

brunch new example -s git://github.com/monokrome/brunch-with-grits.git

NOTE: You can replace the word example with whichever directory name you'd like to use for your project.

After the project has finished being created, you can initialize it like so:

cd example
npm install

If it all worked out, you should be able to build all libraries into the public/javascripts/vendor.js with the following command:

brunch build

You can also have brunch automatically minify the output with:

brunch build --optimize

If you prefer to leave a process constantly watching your code for changes, you can use the following command:

brunch watch

Having a static server hosting your public directory is sometimes useful for development. You can do this by running the following command:

brunch watch --server

This will run a local server on port 3333. Once it's running, you can visit your application at http://localhost:3333.
