This is a version of AdminLTE configured to work out of the box with non-NodeJS asset compilers as per this post.

• VueJS included
• FastClick and SlimScroll added into compiled files by default
• BowerPHP, Robo and Mini-Asset support out of the box as per this post so no need for NodeJS or npm, meaning this works flawlessly on VMs on any host OS
• File structure changed so that all non-dist files reside outside public/
• Expanded .gitignore
• Removed the CSS files. You MUST use Less and compile stuff. It's easy. See "compilation" below.
• Removed all traces of NodeJS - no grunting, no packages, no node modules.

To get started and have a working copy:

composer install
vendor/bin/bowerphp install
cd assets
../vendor/bin/robo assets:build

After these 4 commands you'll be able to visit the site in the browser and use it. Read below for more information on compiling assets.

Inside the assets folder:

../vendor/bin/mini_asset build --config assets.ini

Or with robo:

../vendor/bin/robo assets:build

To build them from scratch (deleting previously built ones):

../vendor/bin/robo assets:build --clear

To have the files auto-rebuild after every change to the sources:

../vendor/bin/robo assets:watch

It is recommended you use a fast shared-folder link for this, something like NFS on SSD.

• change the theme in index.html as per instructions in comments
• change theme to compile in assets/assets.ini
• recompile assets (see above)

• speed up watching of files
• add modularity? (http://addyosmani.com/writing-modular-js/)
