Charette JS

This package will turn OFF the hardship to maintain a single workflow architecture !

How to use it

Install the package :

npm i -S charettejs

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

// Initialize Charette Typescript
grunt.loadNpmTasks('charettejs')

You can easily override configuration for charette :

grunt.config('myTask', {
  target: 'config'
})

// or merge

grunt config.merge({
  task: {
    target: 'config'
  }
})

Then you'll be able to override grunt config for any tasks.

You can find an example in sample folder.

Why

The idea of this project is to grab all default stuff that you need into your sub-projects.

• Grunt tasks
• Configuration files
• NPM Dependencies
• Bower Dependencies
• Helpers that you need + testing
• All usefull stuff used by sub-project

Okay, so why don't use generator ! They do the job ?! No they don't.

Generators

A generator (like Yeoman) is a tool that helps you to bootstrap new project. It'll provide all best practices and handsome shortcuts to automate repetitive stuff.

But if you work in a microservice approach, generator will populate the architecture for the sub-project once. If you wanna update a version for all your projects, you must apply the update on each one..

How develop

• Get the repository
• Link charettejs package locally

cd charettejs
npm link

• Go into ./sample folder

cd sample
npm i

• You'll be able to run any grunt task using the charettejs stuff

How update bower component

bower i -S my-component # Install my-component in `bower.json`
bower-installer -p -r   # Copy `main` files into `bower.json`

bower-installer has to be install through npm

npm i -g bower-installer

It will update your bower.json with new bower dependencies AND which files keep into vendorsfolder.

How update TypeScript definitions

tsd install my-component --save

tsd must be install through npm as global package

npm i -g tsd

It will grab typescript definitions from DefinitelyTyped and put definitions to typings folder.
