To get your environment set up, you need node
and npm
Install volo
> npm install -g volo
Then use volo create
to start a new project
> volo create new_project frozenjs/boilerplate
During development, an error will be thrown because dist/game.js
doesn't exist
However, we check to see if it is loaded and use the dojo loader if it isn't
We also note in the console that is happening
During development, work in the src/
directory and make small modules
You can start a development server with linting and auto-reload using the volo grunt
command in your terminal, which will open your default browser to 0.0.0.0:8000
Your browser will auto-reload when you make changes to files
Once you are ready to deploy your project, you can build with the volo grunt build
command
This command will crawl your dependency tree, starting with src/game.js
and build a single file dist/game.js.uncompressed.js
It will also minify your file with Google Closure Compiler into dist/game.js
You shouldn't have to make any changes to your index.html
for this file to start working
You can remove the files generated by the volo grunt dojo
(dist/
and libs/
) by running volo grunt clean:dist
You can remove deps/
and node_modules/
by running volo grunt clean:deps
You can remove dist/
, libs/
, deps/
, and node_modules/
by running volo grunt clean:all
