AxisPhilly App Template

A somewhat barebones template for apps without back-ends. Inspired by the NPR Apps app template.

Directory Structure

• sass - .scss files go here
• www - The compiled app and associated files
• data - Raw data used in the app, i.e. CSVs
• scripts - Miscellaneous scripts used for data processing, etc.

Dependencies

For asset management, templating, building, and testing, we use Node.js and Grunt

First, you need Grunt command line tool: $ npm install -g grunt-cli Then, install the dev depencies: $ npm install

Compile SASS when developing

$ sass --watch sass/:www/css/

Grunt Tasks
