Project Overview

This project setup for frontend development is not intended to be used with a major framework (Ember, Angular, etc.), but allows you to start out with a minimal set of tools (requirejs, lodash, jQuery, Handlebars, moment.js, log4javascript, i18next) and grow your dependencies as you application requires it.

The grunt build script will create a fully optimized build (uglified, concatenated, hashed, etc.) with a single Javascript file. The build also replaces requirejs with almond.js to further reduce the foodprint of your dependencies. If you require dynamically loading of dependencies, you may have to modify the build process.

Last, the build also creates a full set of project reports including JsDoc, unit test coverage, lists TODO & FIXMEs and creates a static source code analysis using plato.
