Materialize: Add instructions for how to build materialize.js

Created on 12 Feb 2015 · 5Comments · Source: Dogfalo/materialize

The readme.md doesn't include any instructions on how to build materialize.js after making changes. I'm changing the source files in the js folder and some copy paste lines to set up and run grunt would be appreciated.

I would like to compile js and css skipping modules that I do not use.
Could you provide in the readme a guide about dependencies used from each module?
You did a great job creating an html example page for each component, it would be great to add a couple of lines saying which CSS and JS a component require.

First time I use grunt to automate: first

npm install grunt --save-dev

then:

I commented out a couple of packages (datepicker.js) on Gruntfile.js and tried to compile:

but it does not install packages recursively.
>> Local Npm module "grunt-contrib-watch" not found. Is it installed?

What should I do to simply chain and minify selected js?
Could you please add in readme /html which js and css are involved for the components?

I agree, we can do a better job here. For now, if you haven't moved anything after cloning, you can run grunt monitor This will watch files for changes and compile Sass and JS

Turns out I was using node 0.12 which is incompatible with node-sass and hence grunt was giving me problems and I was wondering if I missed a key step somewhere.

@owencm I had the same problem with sass.
You can install node v0.10.30 using n https://github.com/tj/n in order to fix that.

After that you should be able to run the grunt task without problems.
