Brunch

Web applications made easy. Since 2011.

Fast front-end web app build tool with simple declarative config and seamless incremental compilation for rapid development.

Usage

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.
3. Deploy with Brunch: brunch build --production
   • builds a project for distribution. By default it enables minification.
