Some boilerplate code for static site generation

1. Clone this repository git clone https://github.com/bdadam/static-site-boilerplate
2. Install node dependencies npm install
3. Install bower dependencies bower install
4. Simply run grunt build to see that everything works

You can run grunt --dev while developing. This starts a new web server on port 3000 (http://localhost:3000/). After every change the affected files are regenerated.

1. grunt - default task: build everything and then whatches for changes and regenerated the affected files
2. grunt build - builds everything
3. grunt clean - cleanup
4. grunt assemble - generates html with Assemble
5. grunt less - generated css file(s) from less files
6. grunt uncss - removes unnecessary css rules
7. grunt requirejs - generates JavaScript files with RequireJS (or Almond)
8. grunt hashres - computes hash code for static resources (aka cachebusting)
9. grunt connect - starts web server and stops it automatically when all the other tasks finished
10. grunt watch - checks for file modifications and runs the appropriate tasks

All tasks accept a --dev flag, which disables CPU intensive tasks like JS-optimization. This should only be used during development.

1. Static site generation with Assemble
2. Generating and minifying a single CSS file with Less
3. Generating and minifying a single JavaScript file with RequireJS
4. Removing unnecessary CSS rules with uncss
5. Generating hash (cache buster) for JS and CSS files
6. Automatic regeneration and Liverload during development
