Gruntfile + grunt-node-webkit build script #7

Closed talss89 closed 10 years ago

talss89 commented 10 years ago

I've created a branch @ https://github.com/talss89/angular-desktop-app/tree/grunt

It's quite a major refactor in terms of the directory structure, but I think it's beneficial when managing release builds.

Here are the changes:

node-webkit is now automatically downloaded and installed for your specific system when grunt install is run.

I have only tested this on a Windows (7) machine, but the logic is in the gruntfile for Mac + Linux. I've only run this through in my head. Please test if you can.

Quickstart

  1. Clone https://github.com/talss89/angular-desktop-app/tree/grunt
  2. Execute in project root npm install && grunt install
  3. grunt run to fire it up

grunt build will create a production ready package in releases/ (or at least that's the idea)

Let me know what you think!

Tom.

thanks Tom. I agree, that’s a very good improvement.
I’ll just review everything, test on mac and integrate your branch in the master.

Tom,

Everything was building and running perfectly on my mac. I’ve integrated your grunt branch into my master.

Hi Joel,

Great, thanks for testing. I'll give Ubuntu a go soon too.

This is such a useful skeleton for me - thanks for making it available.

Tom.
