This application uses gulp for task automation as well as running a live server. Once all dependencies are installed you can easily get the Bootstrap and jQuery source files by running gulp getfiles. This will create a directory in public called vendor, and it will store the Bootstrap and jQuery core files. It will then automatically move the needed files from ./public/vendor to ./public/js & ./public/css. Once Bootstrap and jQuery files are moved the vendor directory can be deleted.
The live server is set as the default gulp task. To run the server first start mongod from the terminal, and then execute the gulp command. This starts up browser-sync, which auto-reloads the browser on any html and css change, as well as re-starts the node server upon any change to a .js file.
Once gulp is watching for changes it will automatically run the tasks to compile scss down to css, as well as minify the js and css files.
