Migrates the Angular project from Rake to Grunt.
Benefits:
- Drops Ruby dependency
- Lowers barrier to entry for contributions from JavaScript ninjas
- Simplifies the Angular project setup and build process
- Adopts industry-standard tools specific to JavaScript projects
- Support building angular.js on Windows platform (really?!? why?!?)
BREAKING CHANGE: Rake is completely replaced by Grunt. Below are the deprecated Rake tasks and their Grunt equivalents:
rake --> grunt
rake package --> grunt package
rake init --> N/A
rake clean --> grunt clean
rake concat_scenario --> grunt build:scenario
rake concat --> grunt build
rake concat_scenario --> grunt build:scenario
rake minify --> grunt minify
rake version --> grunt write:version
rake docs --> grunt docs
rake webserver --> grunt webserver
rake test --> grunt test
rake test:unit --> grunt test:unit
rake test:<jqlite|jquery|modules|e2e> --> grunt test:<jqlite|jquery|modules|end2end|e2e>
rake test[Firefox+Safari] --> grunt test --browsers Firefox,Safari
rake test[Safari] --> grunt test --browsers Safari
rake autotest --> grunt autotest
NOTES:
* For convenience grunt test:e2e starts a webserver for you, while grunt test:end2end doesn't.
Use grunt test:end2end if you already have the webserver running.
* Removes duplicate entry for Describe.js in the angularScenario section of angularFiles.js
* Updates docs/src/gen-docs.js to use #done intead of the deprecated #end
* Uses grunt-contrib-connect instead of lib/nodeserver (removed)
* Removes nodeserver.sh, travis now uses grunt webserver
* Built and minified files are identical to Rake's output, with the exception of one less
character for git revisions (using --short) and a couple minor whitespace differences
Closes#199
- Configure our docs app to use new $location with html5 history api!
- Update simple node web server to serve index.html for all links
(rewritting).
- Update .htaccess file to serve index.html for all links (rewritting).
- At runtime determine the base href path and attach it to the DOM. We
needed the absolute URL to get all browsers to work well.
- Because of the above, we also need to dynamically determine all needed
js/css resources and add them to the DOM. This was needed because FF6
would eagerly fetch resources with wrong URL since the base element is
added to the dom at runtime.
- All content html files were moved to the partials directory, because
with the new html5 urls it was impossible to tell if request for
http://domain/api/angular.filter.html was an html5 url for the html
filter doc page, or an xhr/appcache request for the content html file
for the html filter.
