jQuery ajaxHooks - a collection of jQuery.ajax extensions

What you need to build your own ajaxHooks

In order to build ajaxHooks, you need to have GNU make 3.8 or later, Node.js/npm latest, and git 1.7 or later. (Earlier versions might work OK, but are not tested.)

Windows users have two options:

1. Install msysgit (Full installer for official Git), GNU make for Windows, and a binary version of Node.js. Make sure all three packages are installed to the same location (by default, this is C:\Program Files\Git).
2. Install Cygwin (make sure you install the git, make, and which packages), then either follow the Node.js build instructions or install the binary version of Node.js.

Mac OS users should install Xcode (comes on your Mac OS install DVD, or downloadable from Apple's Xcode site) and Homebrew. Once Homebrew is installed, run brew install git to install git, and brew install node to install Node.js.

Linux/BSD users should use their appropriate package managers to install make, git, and node, or build from source if you swing that way. Easy-peasy.

How to build your own ajaxHooks

First, clone a copy of the main ajaxHooks git repo by running:

git clone git://github.com/jaubourg/ajaxHooks.git

Enter the directory and install the Node dependencies:

cd ajaxHooks && npm install

Make sure you have grunt installed by testing:

grunt -version

Then, to get a complete, minified (w/ Uglify.js), linted (w/ JSHint) version of ajaxHooks, type the following:

grunt

The built version of ajaxHooks will be put in the dist/ subdirectory.
