Pre-requisites

• Node - http://nodejs.org/
• Grunt - https://gruntjs.com/

Install

Clone this repo or download and unzip it.

Quick Start

Before continuing, please edit the accountName key to the package.json file. For example:

    {
      "name": "vtex-speed",
      "accountName": "your-store-account-name",
    }

Enable/Disable https, please edit the secureUrl key to the package.json file. For example:

• true - Enable https and use port 443
• false - Disable https and use port 80

    {
      "secureUrl": true,
    }

Important

• https required disable/ignore warning in brownser.
• Enabling HTTPS automatically disables the livereload - Read more about this issue.

Enter the folder you cloned or downloaded, install dependencies and run npm start:

    cd speed
    npm install
    npm start

First, open your browser here to authenticate:

http://your-store-account-name.vtexlocal.com.br/admin/Site/Login.aspx

Then, open a normal page, like your home:

http://your-store-account-name.vtexlocal.com.br/?debugcss=true&debugjs=true

Important You should replace your-store-account-name with the accountName of your store. Who would guess, huh?

Nice! Live Reload has reloaded that stylesheet for you.

FAQ

What is ECONNRESET?

The HTTP response socket hung up before sending a complete reply.
You probably manually stopped a request on your browser.
Thus, the proxy shouted: "I was receiving a response and it stopped abruptly!"
