Node.js template for building Front End projects.

boilerplate's Issues

Copy favicon in root

So that you get it by default (e.g.: works in Umbraco)

Prevent CMSable assets being included in build task

When the boilerplate is used with a CMS (like Umbraco) we typically include a grunt umbraco task that copies the build/dist/assets/ folder into the Web Project. This compresses and copies more images than are required as many of the images in the CMS build are managed in the backend (and uploaded to /media/.)

It is proposed we add a src/assets-cms/ folder that than then can be excluded from the grunt umbraco task. A [[assets-cms]] key would also need to be created.

Further development might include the changes to tasks/amend-assets-path.js to check to see if the file exists in both folders and include the appropriate path if so.

Add make file

bootstrap, or whatever you want to call it.
Useful to be targeted by automated build (vs, ci) and noob BE devs.

I have this in my current project (bash script)

npm install jspm -g

# This probably needs to just append to make sure that the file exists but it's not overriding it.
echo {} > secret.json

npm -g install npm@2

npm install
jspm install --force

npm install [email protected] --save-dev
npm install -g grunt-cli

grunt umbraco --forces

May also need

jspm config registries.github.remote https://github.jspm.io
jspm config registries.github.auth [JSPM KEY]
jspm config registries.github.maxRepoSize 0
jspm config registries.github.handler jspm-github

to avoid hitting jspm threshold

Favicon to root folder

In cases like when using Umbraco the HTML head will not be what is in the boilerplate and the browser will default to looking for the favicon in the root. Can the favicon been made a special case and be dropped there instead of the asset folder?

Browser color

Build error.html and copy it to the website folder

Should happen on "umbraco" task. This will be useful to have the error page served as a static html page which is less error prone to error and will keep the style of it up to date

Add gitignores

Add a default one for asp.net + vs + Umbraco or let user pick from https://github.com/github/gitignore awesome collection

Add "umbraco" task to copy build to web project

gruntfile.js
grunt.registerTask('umbraco', 'Copies the dist files to the assets folder in the web project', [ 'build', 'copy:umbraco' ]);

copy.json
"umbraco": { "expand": true, "cwd": "<%= path.src %>/assets/", "src": "**/*", "dest": "<%= path.src %>/../[project name].Web/assets/" }

Could do with a better name.
Potentially it could add the files to the csproj file.
