Modular javascript framework

Ark

Ark is a modular javascript framework.

Building Ark

Requires git and Node.js (instructions vary depending on OS).

First, clone a copy of the main ark git repo by running:

git clone git://github.com/mbosecke/ark.git

Install the grunt-cli package so that you will have the correct version of grunt available from any project that needs it. This should be done as a global install:

npm install -g grunt-cli

Enter the ark directory and install the Node dependencies, this time without specifying a global install:

cd ark && npm install

Make sure you have grunt installed by testing:

grunt -version

Then, to get a complete, unit tested (w/ Qunit.js), minified (w/ Uglify.js), linted (w/ JSHint) version of Ark, type the following:

grunt

The built version of Ark will be put in the build/ subdirectory, along with the minified copy.

Unit Tests

To just run the unit tests you can either visit test/index.html in your browser or use grunt:

grunt test
