Brunch

HTML5 applications made easy.

Fast front-end web app build tool with simple declarative config, seamless incremental compilation for rapid development, an opinionated pipeline and workflow, and core support for source maps

First steps

Install Brunch with a simple node.js package manager command: npm install -g brunch

1. Create a new Brunch project: brunch new [--skeleton url]
   • skeleton specifies a skeleton from which your application will be initialized. The default skeleton (dead-simple) doesn't have any opinions about frameworks or libraries.
   • brunch.io/skeletons contains over 50 boilerplate projects, which you can use to init your app from.
2. Develop with Brunch: brunch watch --server
   • tells Brunch to watch your project and incrementally rebuild it when source files are changed. The optional server flag launches a simple web server with push state support.
   • If you use OS X and want brunch to show system notification every time compilation error happens, you will need to install terminal notifier: brew install terminal-notifier
3. Deploy with Brunch: brunch build --production
   • builds a project for distribution. By default it enables minification.
