Style Guide / Rules

Notes

  • npm run start will run a single build and start the server, if you want auto builds run npm run start-dev
  • If you're having issues running the setup command, make sure you have the proper permissions setup (you can also attempt to run the commands with sudo, although that is usually discouraged)

TODO

  • Add additional templating engines (i.e. doT - http://jsperf.com/knockout-template-engines/25)
  • Additional methods on core
  • Additional documentation and directions
  • Implement Git hooks and JSCS (airbnb style validation)
