nodemon for browser #10

Open mattdesl opened 9 years ago

mattdesl commented 9 years ago

like nodemon but runs tests through a browser. exposes full web apis like WebGL, WebAudio, etc. goal is fast TDD during the initial stages. similar to smokestack but more for development / fast reload on save.

idea 1 - print to terminal

pipe output from chrome to node terminal, either like smokestack (using sockets) or chrome-remote-interface

idea 2 - just print to browser

treat the browser window as a terminal for TAP output.. colorize it etc. use budo or something similar to serve, reload and browserify. this might be the path of least resistance

I have been using chromeo and hihat which are both spin-offs of this idea. Very experimental but so far very useful for quick testing.
