Very simple webapp framework.

Step 1: installation

1. Install nodejs

2. Clone this repository to a central location (for example /appetizer)

3. Source the appetizer.sh in your bash shell:

   . /appetizer/appetizer.sh

Step 2: development

1. Open terminal

2. cd to your project directory

3. Create your project:

   appetizer make

4. Start the development server:

   appetizer start

5. Put your Less style in src/styles/index.less

6. Put your JavaScript in src/scripts/index.js

7. Visit http://localhost:8000.

8. That's all

Step 3: deployment

1. Open terminal

2. cd to your project directory

3. Build it:

   appetizer build

4. Your code is in the build folder (CSS, JavaScript is minified)

5. That's all

Why is there only one Less and JavaScript file?

index.less and index.js are your entry files. For Less you can use @import statements to include other less files. For JavaScript you can use the CommonJS module format to 'require' other js files.

TODO

1. Add unit test support using jsTestDriver before build
2. Add locale options
