Fred Prototype

Hello,

If you're reading this, your awesome.

Setup

The prototype is a super light-weight node.js application. Getting up and running is easy:

  • Install node if you don't yet have it > node.js installer;
  • Check out this repo to a directory somewhere ~/sites/nzta for instance.
  • Run npm install
  • Start the site with grunt
  • Visit http://localhost:3012 in your browser

Templates

We've utilised the nunjucks templating engine. It's a really nice Javascript templating engine that runs server-side in node.js, and in the browser. This allows us to render the same views in both places, and share a common syntax. The nunjucks browser-based loader is included automatically in the core Javascript.

Forms

We've described the forms using some hack-ish javascript in routes/forms/

Pages

Static content pages are generated from JSON files pages directory.

Most of the pages have a template, these live in templates/pages

SaSS/CSS, client-side Javascript

  • grunt watch to build the JS/CSS and develop.
  • grunt js to build the JS
  • grunt sass to compile sass
  • grunt icon to compile icons (via grunticon)
  • grunt all to generate everything
