# Project template for [gulp.js](http://gulpjs.com/)
## What it does
* [Jade](jade-lang.com) files to HTML
* [Stylus](http://learnboost.github.io/stylus) files to CSS
* [CoffeeScript](http://coffeescript.org/) files to Javascript through [browserify](http://browserify.org/)
* You are able to use 'require' in your client-side code
* Serves your static files to localhost:9001
* Reloads your browser with LiveReload when files change
## Getting things up and running
git clone git@github.com:leonidas/gulp-project-template.git <your project name>
cd <your project name>
npm install
npm start
open http://localhost:9001 in your browser
## Commands
* npm install
* Installs server-side dependencies from NPM and client-side dependencies from Bower
* npm start
* Compiles your files, starts watching files for changes, serves static files to port 9001
* npm run build
* Builds & minifies everything
## Adding 3rd party libraries
bower install jquery --save
Now to use jQuery in your frontend code, you'll need to add jQuery to "browser" and "browserify-shim" sections of your package.json. Your package.json should be something like this:
...
"browser": {
"jquery": "./vendor/jquery/dist/jquery.js"
},
"browserify-shim": {
"jquery": "$"
},
"browserify": {
"transform": [ "coffeeify", "browserify-shim" ]
}
...
Now your should be able to require jQuery in your coffee files
$ = require 'jquery'
## Development guidelines
* **public** - directory should be dedicated only to compiled/copied files from **src** - directory.
It should be possible to delete directory completely and after **npm start** or **npm run build** everything should be as they were before the deletation.
* All backend dependencies should be installed with **npm**. Browser dependencies should be installed with **bower**.
## Enable LiveReload
Install [LiveReload for Chrome](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/livereload/jnihajbhpnppcggbcgedagnkighmdlei?hl=en)
