Grunt-Tusk

GruntJS based build system for frontend web projects.

Features

  • Write your code using CoffeeScript and have it compile into CommonJS modules (this allows you to easily share code between browser and node)
  • Style your web application using SASS (built-in support for Compass, Twitter bootstrap and Font Awesome)
  • Use Jade for all of your templates (static pages compile to html, and dynamic templates compile to javascript)
  • Write a multi-lingual application using I18n-js
  • Automatically live reload your browser when files are changed
  • Use third-party packages using bower
  • Test your code using mocha, chai, sinon and more.
