Goals
My goals with this script are:
- to keep it as lean and readable as possible
- to NOT have jQuery as a dependency
Dev Dependencies
- cssmin: A simple CSS minifier that uses a port of YUICompressor in JS
- less: Leaner CSS
- mkdirp: Recursively mkdir, like
mkdir -p - node-sass: Wrapper around libsass
- uglify-js: JavaScript parser, mangler/compressor and beautifier toolkit
- watch: Utilities for watching file trees.
Sources
This work is based on jQuery Tools Dateinput.
TODO
- Use the scroll wheel to change months.
