AlloyUI

AlloyUI is a framework built on top of YUI3 (JavaScript) that uses Bootstrap 3 (HTML/CSS) to provide a simple API for building high scalable applications.

Browser Support

As an user interface framework we do care about browser support. Most of our modules use all the power of HTML5, so for old browsers we provide fallbacks in Flash.

IE 8+ ✔	Latest ✔	Latest ✔	Latest ✔	Latest ✔

Automated tasks

We use Gulp, a task-runner in Node, to automate things.

gulp <command>

To discover the most commonly used tasks, run:

gulp help

Setup

1. Install NodeJS <= v0.12.0, if you don't have it yet.

2. Install global dependencies:

[sudo] npm install -g gulp

3. Install local dependencies:

npm install

4. Initialize and fetch dependencies via Bower:

gulp init

5. Build AlloyUI & YUI3 using Shifter:

gulp build

Development

Rebuild AUI components:

gulp build-aui

If run at the root level, it will build all AUI components.

If run within a component folder (ie. cd src/aui-datatable), it will only build that specific component.

Watch for changes and rebuild automatically:

gulp watch
