Up.js: Snappy UI for server-side web applications
Up.js gives your traditional web application fast-responding views with minimal changes to your code and development style. If you require modern UX but don't want to pay the Javascript MVC complexity tax, Up.js can be a solution for you.
See upjs.io for more information and API documentation.
Running tests
Overview:
- This currently requires Ruby
- There's a Rails app in
spec_app
- Jasmine tests live in
spec_app/spec/javascripts
- There are also some Cucumber integration tests left in
spec_app/features
, but this is legacy code. Testing with Jasmine works so well that we want the entire test suite to become pure-JS Jasmine specs.
To run Jasmine tests:
- Install Ruby 2.1.2
cd
intospec_app
- Install dependencies by running
bundle install
- Migrate
- Start the Rails server
- Access
http://localhost:3000/specs
Making a new release
We are currently feeding three release channels:
- Manual download from Github
- Bower
- Rubygems (as the
upjs-rails
gem)
To make a new release:
- Edit
lib/upjs/rails/version.rb
and bump the version number. Use semantic versioning. - Commit and push the version bump
- From the project root, type
rake assets:compile
. This will output minified JS and CSS files to thedist
folder. - Commit and push the generated files
- From the project root, type
rake release
. This will publish a new gem version to Rubygems.org. It will also push a tag for this version, which Bower requires for its own versioning scheme.
Always run rake assets:compile
before rake release
so the git tag points to the correct commit (required for Bower versioning).
