Cascading Tree Sheets

Cascading Tree Sheets (CTS) is a CSS-like language to describe web structure.

This is the Javascript implementation of Cascading Tree Sheets (CTS).

Dependencies

Before you get started, make sure you have installed the following tools:

• NodeJS + NPM
• Grunt

Initial Development Setup

To set up a brand new CTS development environment, perform the following steps:

1. Create a new, empty directory and from within it, run:

   bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cts/cts/master/initial-setup.sh)"

2. Change into the cts directory that was just created.

3. Run npm install.

4. Run grunt setup.

This will link the dependencies of that project to the other repositories downloaded by the setup script.

Since the Duo package manager is typically used for production builds, it requires packages straight from Github instead of your local environment. To get around this, grunt downloads these packages from Github into the build-tmp/components directory, then symlinks those cts-* directories with your local versions. This is done by the src/build-scripts/grunt-contrib-projectsetup.js file.

Building CTS

You can build CTS by running grunt from inside the cts project. You'll find the output in the build directory. If the build-tmp directory is ever deleted, you need to re-run grunt setup to symlink the directories properly. Otherwise, none of your local changes will end up in the build file.
