  • Bower: npm install -g bower
  • grunt-cli: npm install -g grunt-cli

You should also have these Webmaker stack applications running:

  • MakeAPI: https://github.com/mozilla/MakeAPI
  • Webmaker Login: https://github.com/mozilla/login.webmaker.org

Project Setup

  1. Clone webmaker.org and enter the directory: git clone https://github.com/mozilla/webmaker.org && cd webmaker.org
  2. Install webmaker.org’s Node and Bower dependencies: npm install
  3. Copy the configuration template to its expected location: cp env.dist .env
  4. Open .env in your favourite text editor and ensure that your PORT, MAKE_ENDPOINT, LOGIN and LOGINAPI environment variables are set to the correct values. PORT can be any available port. MAKE_ENDPOINT, LOGIN and LOGINAPI should point to the URL of your running MakeAPI and Webmaker Login service instances.
  5. Run grunt dev, and open up http://localhost:7777/ in your favourite web browser!

Grunt Tasks

  • grunt – Validate LESS, beautify and lint JS, compress images as needed. Run before you push.
  • grunt dev – Run the server and build js files as they are changed
  • grunt verify – Verify LESS and JS are formatted and lint free. Read only. Used by Travis.

Localization

To add a new language simply add a directory with a locale code under the locale directory with a JSON file(s) for your strings for example:
locale/id_ID/strings.json
You also need to make sure you enable the language in your config by changing the value of SUPPORTED_LANGS

export SUPPORTED_LANGS='[ "en", "id-ID" ]'
