gulp-livescript-browserify Starter Project

It's quite hard to work out how to get Gulp to work correctly with this setup, and I got sick of figuring it out every time. Here's a starter project that sets you up with a simple Connect server (with livereload built-in) to serve your files, and a browserify module system all running neatly in Livescript.

Changes

• Switch transformer to browserify-livescript instead of liveify
• Source maps now supported all the way back to LS source code
• Update to Livescript 1.4
• Much nicer error output

Usage

Grab this repo, run npm i, start the server with gulp and start modifying the files to begin. The repo contains a tiny proof-of-concept program to build from.

By default the gulp command will start the Connect server at localhost:8080 and start a livereload server to go with it on the default port. The connect livereload plugin automatically injects the LR snippet onto your page so it works automatically with LR browser plugins.

If you find that gulp-watch is rebuilding your JS file twice for every time you save, and you're using vim, it may be because vim sometimes touches files twice when working with backups enabled. To stop it, set nowritebackup in your vimrc.

Todo

• Stylesheet compilation as well maybe?
