As developer I want to have a complete build during installation

[franz-josef-kaiser]

Currently we have a Git hook to run the NPM build process, which then uses bash scripts to call the proper commands. We also have a .po-file generator that sits in the root. All this should better be summoned and run during a Composer install script as this is when the package gets pulled and set up. In addition, we should continue to ship the assets in minified versions to have a fallback.

I think the whole build process is broken:

package.json#L17 and scripts/scripts don't match.
After that it still doesn't work because something is wrong with scripts/scripts#L2

Also the versions used look old and I'm note sure of the packages themselves.

So yeah, this all needs a major overhaul. 😄

@kraftner should be working again. Use npm run build to trigger a build. I am not really sure if the watch process works. The last version used to just call npm run build, which triggered endlessly. The current version just includes the commands from the js and the css files. While this might work better, the file location is relative to the location from where you call the script – it just assumes you are in the project root when doing so. This might fail, please give this a test run. The branch to test is issue-27-assets.

Yeah, works again. I also noticed that as it seems up until now there was a mismatch between src and concat/minified files like e.g. models.js and all.js

I'll add a rebuild of the assets to the issue branch and merge this tomorrow.

Thanks @kraftner – Please do not forget about #48

@franz-josef-kaiser Is this good enough in your opinion or do you want to keep it open to further improve it?
