Development

CSS Style Guide: https://github.com/Jam3/CSS-Style-Guide

IMAGES

Name images using dashes:

• large-pixel-image.png
• cute-yellow-pepper.png

GLOBAL VARIABLES

Always make the root path to assets (image/videos..) a variable, store it in your global settings file, in both Javascript code and CSS

Because when the site goes live, those assets will come from a CDN and going in and changing all the paths the day before the site goes live is very annoying.

@{ASSET_PATH}: 'images/'; // This variable will be changed by a script when pushing to production or other environments
.background {
    background: url('@{ASSET_PATH}/images/background.png')
}

$ASSET_PATH: 'images/'; // This variable will be changed by a script when pushing to production or other environments
.background {
    background: url('#{$ASSET_PATH}/images/background.png')
}

var filePath = settings.ASSET_PATH + 'fancy/fancy-graphic.png';

DEPLOYMENT

$ npm run release

RUN TESTS

Use Budo to develop and test your modules independently before integrating into the framework.

$ cd 
$ budo test/thingtotest/index.js [PORT] [-- browserify args]

NPM MODULES

When installing modules be sure to use npm install --save for dependencies that will be used in the actual application deployed to the server.

And npm install --save-dev for modules that are only used on your system for workflow and development, like automated tasks etc.
