About

This is a starter project template to build rich client-side experiences with Ember.js using Node.js. This skeleton is aimed at leveraging packages to develop and build, while providing a set of unified tasks and definitions to focus less on configuration and setup.

Core

This starter project builds on top of core packages and utilities. In addition, there are variants of this project that leverage other tools, such as Cordova or server extras. Visit this page for more information on core functionality. Visit this page for more information on Cordova specifics.

Ember

The following additional packages are included:

• Ember.js for the base framework.
• jQuery as a dependency of Ember.
• Handlebars as a dependency of Ember.
• Ember Data for managing data models. (optional)
• Swag for additional Handlebars helpers. (optional)
• Stylus to write better styles that compile to CSS.
• Nib to focus less on vendor prefixes when working with Stylus.

Handlebars templates are precompiled when assembling the application. In addition, Ember.js is included in two flavors:

• When builiding for a development environment or testing, the full Ember.js is included for debugging.
• When builiding for a production environment, ember.prod is used.

Tasks
