Installation

Run brunch new <app> -s https://github.com/damassi/Javascript-App-Skeleton & brunch build. To continually watch for changes, use brunch watch. See more info on the official site

• config.coffee contains configuration of your app. You can set plugins / languages that would be used here.
• app/assets contains images / static files. Contents of the directory would be copied to build/ without change. Other app/ directories could contain files that would be compiled. Languages, that compile to JS (coffeescript, roy etc.) or js files and located in app are automatically wrapped in module closure so they can be loaded by require('module/location').
• app/models & app/views contain base classes your app should inherit from.
• test/ contains feature & unit tests.
• vendor/ contains all third-party code. The code wouldn’t be wrapped in modules, it would be loaded instantly instead.

This all will generate public/ (by default) directory when brunch build or brunch watch is executed.
