HTML5 Build Tools to Automate Your Business Process

-

HTML5 applications are highly complicated and not enough to treat like something more than a set of static and dynamic pages. With web app development, this belongs to client side and is a full process just like any other software development.
Obviously, it requires some build tool to process LESS or SASS sources of stylesheets, translate CoffeeScript, TypeScript or any other language that compiles into JS, apply linters and run unit tests, join and minify the code.
Here are some popular automation approaches that are available and widely used.

Grunt comes in the first row of the JS build tools and it is based on the set of tasks. Grunt is one of the task runners and you will find the task described in Gruntfile.js file as declarative configuration composed in JSON format. You will come across many plugins to automate almost any set of actions. Grunt is based on node.js development and the main module and the plugins are npm packages.

Gulp created as an alternative grunt and based on the code instead of declarative configuration. This was also based on node.js. You will find configuration consists of tasks, but uses a stream of concept to define an exact workflow for a specific build step. Gulp is faster and simpler. You should be familiar with node.js development to use gulp. You will come across a number of plugins. Many new projects use gulp as build tool for their HTML5 Application Development.

Brunch is one of the HTML5 build tool, created as an alternative to exist grunt and gulp solutions and positioned as a better tool. Configuration code is much less, it looks almost unnecessary pure syntax, and infrastructure lines were just dropped. The principal difference that you can notice in this one is the design. Brunch is one of the stream-based technologies just like Gulp and does not create temporary files. Command line tool of brunch is simple, you will notice three possible commands new to bootstrap a new project based on one of the templates available as github repos to run building process and watch to force watching mode.

So automate your business with the productive JS build tools. To know more drop your queries and develop dynamic web application at Unified Infotech.
