Tests

To run tests you'll need to have configuration set up. Config lives under /boot/config.js (as stated before).

We've provided a base config template, which you will need to copy it to your local folder in order to run tests.

cp ./templates/boot/config.js ./boot/config.js
npm install -d
npm test

Assets

Assets refer to static files (scripts, stylesheets and other assets) placed in assets/public. To build a production version of your app:

gulp build

Note: This will minify all assets and create a ./assets/dist folder optimized and ready for deployment.

List of tasks executed during gulp build:

  • Automatic LESS processing
  • Automatic install of Bower packages
  • Automatic images minification
  • Automatic usemin implementation (concat, rev, ...)

Below is an example of a Jade file using usemin blocks:

 
//- # layout
 
//- ...
 
//- build:js /js/app.js
block scripts
  script(src='/bower/jquery/dist/jquery.js')
  script(src='/bower/bootstrap/dist/js/bootstrap.js')
  script(src='/bower/bootbox/bootbox.js')
  script(src='/js/plugins.js')
  script(src='/js/main.js')
  if settings.facebook.enabled
    script(src='/js/fb-appended-hash-bug-fix.js')
//- endbuild
 

After running gulp build, the file will be optimized:

 
//- # layout
 
//- ...
 
script(src='/js/app-316568f4.js')
