tell what a programmer is doing until it’s too late.”

What is a package manager?Is a collection of software tools that automates the process of installing, upgrading,
configuring, and removing software packages
Why use a package manager?It is clean, tidy and forced everyone to have the same packages with the same versions
What managers are for JS?
Package managers for Javascript
Node Package Manager (NPM)
Back-end or Front-end ?Both, but mainly in back-end.
How do I use it?Command lines
How many packages have?
Some packages
Important command lines:
Node Package Manager (NPM)
$ npm init
$ npm search <package name | key word>
$ npm install <package name> | --save
$ npm uninstall <package name>
( --save option instructs NPM to include the package inside of the dependencies section of your
package.json )
Node Package Manager (NPM)
- Project’s name
- Author
- Version
- Dependencies
- Scripts
- Git repository
- Node engine
NPM Package.json
- Project’s name
- Author
- Version
- Dependencies
- Scripts
- Git repository
- Node engine

Bower“The reason why God could create the universe in six days do not
have to worry about it compatible with the previous version.”

BOWER
Front-end package manager
How to install bower?
# npm install -g bower
Bower commands
$ bower init
$ bower search <package>
$ bower install <package>
$ bower uninstall <package>
Bower: bower.json
- name
- version
- packages
- version packages

Git
—Anonymous
“It’s not a bug – it’s an undocumented feature.”
VCS
What is Git ?
Version Control System
Why is it necessary to use a VCS ?
- Storage elements of the project
- Ability to make changes to stored items
- Historical record of the actions taken
What if you do not use?
Storage architectures
Centralized VCS (CVCS) Distributed VCS (DCVS)
Git
Why git?Git almost all operations are local:-To browse history
-See changes in another version
-Branches
Data integrity (checksum)-Way control redundancy to protect data integrity impossible to change a
file git project without knowing. You can not upload files corrupted.
Git actions are always modifiable- After making a commit it is very difficult to lose data
Git commands
SourceTree
Work styles
-Everybody works in
master-branch
-Branch for epic-task
-Commits for task
-Create branch for
stable version
-One user one

-One task one
branch
-Create commit into

-Master-branch

Grunt.js is a Javascript task runner. At its bare core it does file manipulation (mkdir, reads, write, copy), print messages and helper methods to organize and configure multiple tasks. It takes care of differences among Operating Systems for you.
However, the real power comes in with the number of available plugins ready to use.
Installing GruntJS
npm install grunt --save-dev
npm install -g grunt-cli
➢ Add a Gruntfile to the project➢ Edit the configuration file for the tasks you want to run➢ Write your own tasks➢ Use plugins for common tasks
Gruntfile.js
module.exports = function(grunt) {
grunt.initConfig({
pkg: grunt.file.readJSON('package.json'),
myTask: { a custom configuration object },
karma: {
unit: {
configFile: 'test/karma.conf.js'
}
}
};
// Load our own tasks
grunt.loadTasks('./tools/grunt-tasks');
// Load 3rd party tasks
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-karma');
// Register our custom named task
grunt.registerTask('validate', ['karma:unit', ‘myTask]);
};
> npm install grunt-karma
grunt-contrib-sass --
save-dev
> grunt karma
……
> grunt validate
Grunt Tasks I
Basic Tasksgrunt.registerTask(taskName, [description,] taskFunction)
grunt.registerTask(‘myTask’, ‘This task is for example purposes’,
function(arg1, arg2) {
grunt.log.writeln(this.name + ‘, ‘ + arg1 + ‘ ‘ + arg2);
});
> grunt myTask:foo:12345
myTask, foo, 12345
Grunt Tasks II
Multi Tasksgrunt.registerMultiTask(taskName, [description,] taskFunction)
grunt.registerMultiTask(‘myTask’, ‘This task is for example
purposes’, function() {
grunt.log.writeln(this.target + ‘: ‘ +
this.data.description);
});
…
myTask: {
target1: {
description: ‘Target 1 description’,
list: [‘item1’, ‘item2’, ‘item3’]
},
target2: {
description: ‘Target 2 description’,
list: [‘item4’, ‘item5’, ‘item6’]
}
}
...
> grunt myTask:target1
target1: Target 1 description
> grunt myTask:target2
target2: Target 2 description
> grunt myTask
target1: Target 1 description
target2: Target 2 description
Grunt Tasks III
Alias Tasksgrunt.registerTask(taskName, [description, ] taskList)
grunt.registerTask(‘validate’,[‘karma:unit’, ‘myTask:target1’]);
> grunt validate
Karma running …
...
target1: Target 1 description
Grunt Tasks IV
Asynchronous Tasksgrunt.registerTask(‘myTask’,function(){
var done = this.async();
grunt.log.writeln(‘Processing task…’);
setTimeout(function(){
grunt.log.writeln(‘Task done’);
done();
}, 1000);
});
Fork Processgrunt.registerTask(‘myTask’,function(){
var done = this.async(),
options = {
cmd: ‘command_to_execute’,
args: [‘arg1’, ‘arg2’],
options: {}
};
grunt.util.spawn(options, done);
});
Build process with GruntJS
Build Process
➢grunt-contrib-jshint: syntax and coding style checking
➢grunt-contrib-sass: compile sass to css➢grunt-karma: pass client side testing➢compile-templates: from templates to html➢ requirejs: build requirejs optimized bundle➢clean: clean unused assets and create final
directory with production HTML and JS
Let’s see it in action!
