MailBeaker Client

The MailBeaker client uses a single-page application design and requires some tools to assist in dependency management, compilation, and minification. This README will guide you through getting the development environment setup.

1. Required Programs & Software

If you do not already have the following package managers and task runners installed from developing other projects, install them now.

1. nodejs (brew install nodejs)
2. gulp (npm install -g gulp)

2. Download Dependencies & Libraries

Whenever you are working on the client, you should be in the webapp/client directory.

cd ~/workspace/MailBeaker/webapp/client

1. npm install

3. Build the Application

Building the application is simple:

1. gulp

That's it!

Developing

In order to avoid having to run gulp every time you make a change, we utilize a gulp-watch that will rebuild the app whenever a file changes. To use this, run:

1. gulp dev
