Early alpha, please use with caution!
brunch is lightweight client side framework on top of backbone.js, eco and stylus using coffee-script
you can get brunch using the node package manager
npm install brunch
create a new project
brunch new
start the file watcher to process all .coffee, .sass or .html file changes automatically
brunch watch
build the project
brunch build
brunch provides the possibility to choose between different project templates currently these are available
- express (default)
- base
you can choose between them via option "--projectTemplate"
brunch new my_app --projectTemplate base
Just the basic brunch layout including src, config and build.
Includes build in express server which will be started with "brunch watch". You can take a look at the app at "localhost:8080".
Instead of reinventing the wheel, brunch assembles awesome wheels.
Watch coffeescript files and compile them via
cake watch
and run tests via
cake test
