mcohen30 Goto Github PK

I wanted to create a reasonably nice landing page as a learning process. Feel free to use and abuse as you see fit.

The key files are only:

• HTML Page: index.htm
• Stylesheet (built with LESS): /less/style.less

• Nodejs
• Gruntjs

1. Clone this repository. git clone https://github.com/dstroot/landing-page-example.git && cd landing*
2. Run npm install.
3. Copy the latest Bootstrap .less source into less/bootstrap (I don't keep it in the repository).
4. You need to have the Grunt CLI installed. If you don't you can install it with: npm install -g grunt-cli.
5. Type grunt to [do a bunch of stuff and] start up the server.
6. Browse to "http://localhost:3000" on your machine.
7. Voila! Type ctrl+c to exit.

1. Install the free LiveReload addin from the Chrome Web Store
2. When Grunt is serving the page: Click the LiveReload applet in Chrome to activate it. The center dot should become solid.
3. Make some changes to the code and save the changes...and...boom!

• Bower

Bower has one minor quirk that you need to be aware of – it will install components into a “bower_components” directory by default, which unfortunately is not under the public directory. I suggest you create a directory called “vendor” under “public/js.” You can do this by running the command mkdir public/js/vendor. Next, in the app directory, create a plain text file called “.bowerrc” that contains:

{ "directory" : "public/js/vendor" }

This configuration file will tell Bower to install tools into the “public/javascripts/vendor” directory.
