Using wa-build

Prior to creating your own project, to install the version of wa-build from this source tree, run npm install . -g from the root of this project. This may be preferred if the newest version is not available in an npm repository.

1. mkdir foo - Create a directory for your component.
2. cd foo - CD to your component directory.
3. npm init - Initialize your component.
4. npm install --save-dev wa-build - Install wa-build.
5. npm install --save-dev grunt - Install local grunt.
6. npm install --save-dev babel-runtime - Install ES6 support.
7. cp node_modules/wa-build/templates/gruntfile.js . - Copy the gruntfile template to your component.
8. cp node_modules/wa-build/templates/.npmignore . - Copy the .npmignore template to your component so dist/ files will be published to npm.
9. grunt init - Run one-time build prerequisites.
10. mkdir src - Create a src directory for your source code.
11. touch src/index.js - Create src/index.js that will export your component.
12. grunt - Test the build.

The resulting compiled files are available at

• dist/index.js - ES6 to ES5 transpiled. Used for imports from other packages.
• lib/foo.js - Browserified, human readable. Use for debugging in web browsers.
• lib/foo.min.js - Optimized, obfuscated. Not human readable. Use for production in web browsers.

To continue building upon changing source code, run grunt dev after a successful grunt build. Files will be served up at http://localhost:9001.
