Can't figure out how to connect to build-www...?

Hi, just setup AngularAMD and testing it for the first time. I'm trying to see how big the initial page load is when launching from /build (or is it /dist or /src...? I don't know why there are so many folders...). I've tried grunt server-www but none of the files are minified, AngularJS alone is 750 kb. I'm wondering how do I connect to a minified version (get it to launch in a localhost server/browser)?

A quick explanation of folders that I use:

• src is the directory I use for development
• build is a scratch space I use while preparing angularAMD for distribution. The primary use is actually to generate the test file that you will find in build/test and where unit test is ran from
• dist is a directory containing the actual release, copied from build, similar to what requirejs does in it's project.

So, the answer to your question is... None of above. To see minified angularAMD in action, you should checkout the gh-pages branch. You will find the sample app with minimised angularAMD. Or you can just use:

@marcoslin OK, that's what I was thinking after looking through the gruntfile. I guess I just need to setup a grunt serve task to use gh-pages. I'm using this project as an angular app seed, it's very good, so I guess I can drop the /build right into /www/js/lib and get rid of some of these folders in root.

Thanks!

If you are building a seed, take a look at:

https://github.com/marcoslin/angularAMD-sample

It has the gruntfile that optimise the files using r.js. I don't have the time to polish it up and for some reason minified version does not work, but all the necessary setup is there.

@marcoslin Ah great, thanks!
