It also covers provided grunt tasks, that help you developing on this repository.

This repo comes with a few grunt tasks which help you to automate the development process. The following grunt tasks are provided:

Grunt tasks

All sofa components have the provide the same grunt tasks. These are the following:

grunt test

grunt test executes (as you might thought) the unit tests, which are located in test/. The task uses karma the spectacular test runner to execute the tests with the jasmine testing framework.

grunt build

You only have to use this task, if you want to generate a production ready build of this project. This task will also lint, test and minify the source. After running this task, you'll find the following files in a generated dist folder:

dist/sofa.XXX.js
dist/sofa.XXX.min.js

grunt watch

This task will watch all relevant files. When it notice a change, it'll run the lint and test task. Use this task while developing on the source to make sure, every time you make a change you get notified if your code is incosistent or doesn't pass the tests.

    • Make sure to provide a spec for unit tests
    • Run your tests with grunt test
    • When all tests pass, everything's fine

    • Before sending a PR it's always helpful to rebase your changes against latest master first
    • Once your commits are rebased, simply send a pull request against the current master branch
