For more information on what generator-webapp-material can do for you, take a look at the Grunt tasks used in our package.json.

Getting Started

Install: npm install -g generator-webapp-material
Run: yo webapp-material
Run grunt for building and grunt serve for preview*. --allow-remote option for remote access.

Deployment To Heroku

Setup heroku-toolbelt

$ grunt build
$ heroku create [PROJECT_NAME]
$ git push heroku master

Third-Party Dependencies

(HTML/CSS/JS/Images/etc)

Third-party dependencies are managed with grunt-wiredep. Add new dependencies using Bower and then run the Grunt task to load them:

$ bower install --save jquery
$ grunt wiredep

This works if the package author has followed the Bower spec. If the files are not automatically added to your source code, check with the package's repo for support and/or file an issue with them to have it updated.

To manually add dependencies, bower install --save depName to get the files, then add a script or style tag to your index.html or another appropriate place. If using bower reference them from index.html, using src="bower_components" or src="/bower_components".

Testing Note: a project checked into source control and later checked out needs to have bower install run from the test folder as well as from the project root.
