koçJS Demo

A boilerplate for using koçJS, that is Google Closure Compiler with KnockoutJS.

Installation

git clone --recursive https://github.com/batilc1/kocJS-demo.git
cd kocJS-demo
npm install

Building for Development

You will need an http-server to be able test and develop. Simplest solution is the http-server package. Http-server is quite useful so you may install it globally

npm install http-server -g

Then just type

grunt test

And the project files will be symlinked under kocJS-demo/dist/ folder. Now run a server at that folder and everything should be good to go.

cd dist/
http-server

Then switch to your favourite browser and navigate to localhost:8080

Building for Production

This is where the closure compiler sugar kicks in. Run

grunt production
cd dist/
http-server

Then switch to your favourite browser and navigate to localhost:8080

Note: You can also turn off Advanced Optimization from grunt file and do Whitespace-only compression. But this won't optimize your code. Use it only for testing if your code won't work because of uglification/mangling.
