learn-dojo-building

This project attempts to follow the "Dojo Building Guide" at https://dojo.io/learn/building/introduction .

Basic usage

The section "Basic usage" in the "Dojo Building Guide" says @dojo/cli/cli-build-app and @dojo/cli-test-intern must be "available in the project" and says that if the "application was initialized using @dojo/cli-create-app then these dependencies should already be present," but doesn't give immediate details about how to initialize an application. The section "Basic usage" (https://dojo.io/learn/building/introduction#basic-usage) in the "Dojo Building Guide" gives a link to @dojo/cli-create-app: https://github.com/dojo/cli-create-app , which, under its "Usage" section says:

dojo create [app] --name <appName>

A quickstart to building Dojo apps

Each of the following five scripts in the current directory checks prerequisite setup and, if the setup has been done, executes a command from the "Dojo Building Guide" or notifies the user about the setup. They are meant to be executed in the order given here.

1. check-tools.sh in the current project checks whether Node, @dojo/cli-create-app, and typescript have been installed so that they can be used in the project.

2. build.sh initializes the current project using the command dojo create app --name learn-dojo-building.

3. build-dist.sh creates an application bundle and outputs the results to the output/dist directory.

4. serve-and-watch.sh starts a web server on port 9999 and makes Dojo's build tool rebuild the application whenever when the application's source files change. The example app demonstrates how a simple home page with a navigation bar can be created using Dojo widgets.

5. test.sh runs the application's unit and functional tests.
