Installation

We use grunt:

npm install grunt-cli -g

Then install our dependencies:

npm install

Copy over default settings:

cp settings_local.js.dist settings_local.js

Development

To watch nunjucks templates and compile them on the fly:

grunt

To minify the assets for the production-ready prod.html:

grunt minify

To run the dev server:

node app.js

To load settings.js and then override those settings with those defined in settings_local.js:

node app.js --settings=settings_local

To load settings.js and then override those settings with those defined in settings_prod.js:

node app.js --settings=settings_prod

By default if the --settings flag is omitted, we default to loading settings_local. If you specify a setting other than settings_local, then settings_local will not get loaded and instead only that new setting file will get loaded.
