Custom Aerogear.js Builder
Prototype here: http://aerogearjsbuilder-lholmqui.rhcloud.com/

myrepo: git at github.com:lholmquist/aerogearjsbuilder.git

There is still a couple of minor tweaks that i need, like better error handling and CORS support possible. although it uses an iframe, so maybe not

This is the way it works.

client side

once you submit, the code builds the query params, then sends it to the server( duh ) using an iframe( atm )

Server side

Server side is a node.js server running on option shift

There is a "base" grunt.js file that has "markers" for the src and destination, This gets read in, replacements are made and then saved( customhash.js ) to a temporary directory( date in millis ). Then a node child proccess, runs grunt using this new custom grunt file, while overiding the "base", where the src files are, and the "config", where the custom grunt file is

once grunt is finished creating the files, the server then zips them up and sends that back to the client.

and then deletes the temporary directory

Src File Storage

The src files are currently stored in the OPENSHIFT_DATA_DIR, this is used for persistent storage and doesn't get recreated after every build.

Currently i need to ssh on to the server and do a git pull to update the repo in this directory.

Not really sure if there is a better way, perhaps a cron, or something.

Originally i had the src files in the project itself, but then moved them out to this persistent directory.

Another idea could when the user does a submit to get the file, it checks to see if the repo is up to date, then if not, updates it. Probably have a time aspect to it, so it only does it everyday for instance


looking for idea's here for the src files
