Any interest in integrating grunt? #39

Closed etodanik closed 10 years ago

etodanik commented 10 years ago

Is there any interest in officially having grunt used as part of the apostrophe-sandbox repo?

I could see a benefit mainly for little things such as livereload.

Also, is there any reason minification is handled manually rather than by something like grunt?

Apostrophe can dynamically stuff in the necessary resources to transition from "logged out user" mode to "logged in user" mode, for instance to suddenly accommodate a desire to submit an event for moderation. It calculates what the user has now and what they still need and delivers that on the fly. That's tough to do with most tools. Apostrophe is also very modular when it comes to assets; each module can contribute via "pushAsset" etc. So I'm not sure a static build tool like grunt is the way to go.

Tell me more though about what you'd like to see with live reload (:

Well - just as far as editing templates, frontend css, frontend js - all while in dev mode would be much more intuitive should the changes load instantly (css) or cause a reload of the node app (backend stuff).

nodemon is nice for reloading the node app, a bunch of our team members use it.

Yeah that's what I use . But I use it as a grunt plugin which makes things a bit simpler. (As simple as 3 lines in a js file).

Any idea if you guys would like to make nodemon an official part of sandbox

Going to close this as we're comfortable with the build for now.
