Installation

$ git clone [email protected]:Upplication/landing.git

Running

$ yarn start

Starts a local development environment which:

  • Is accesible at http://localhost:9000.
  • Watches changes in css, jade, js ... folders and compiles if it is necessary.
  • Browser lives reload.

Deployment

$ yarn run deploy --mode=production

Builds the project with optimization for distribution.

If you are going to upload the project to a folder different than root (/), you can use a parameter called config.base_path with the destination root path. Example grunt deploy --config.base_path=/new to make the static files points to the proper path.

Documentation

This is a quick reference that aims to help you to learn how to add new languages and views on this project.

Configure environment

The file config.json contains the definition of all the configuration needed by the project. This definitions are grouped by environment. You can activate one environemnt by calling the paramenter env. Example yarn run deploy -- --env=localhost load all the vars defined in the localhost section. All this vars are available at:

  • Jade templates by calling #{localConfig.xxxx}
  • Saas files by calling @@config. (#{localConfig.} cant be use because saas define his own vars in that way)
  • JSON i18n files by calling @@config.

You can override this vars passing the concrete key as parameter with the prefix config.. Example yarn run deploy -- --env=localhost --config.token_manager=1337 --mode=production load all the vars defined in the localhost section and override the token_manager var with the value 1337

Add a new view

  1. Adding template: Create:

    app/views/[view_name].jade

  2. Adding styles:

    • Create a less file: app/styles/less/[view_name]/[name].less
    • Add the new result css to the view. Example:
    link(rel='stylesheet', href='#{localConfig.base_path}/styles/[view_name]/[name].css')
    
  3. Adding scripts:

    Scripts are concatenated by folder.

    • Create multiple js files inside a folder:
    app/scripts/[folder]/1.js
    app/scripts/[folder]/2.js
    app/scripts/[folder]/3.js
    
    • Add the new result js to the view. Example:
    script(type="text/javascript", src='#{localConfig.base_path}/scripts/[folder].js')
    
  4. Add translations:

    Update all: app/locales/[names]_[language_code]-[country-code].json with:

    • Add a new object in the root with the name of the file added to the view without the extension [view_name]
    • Add the following keys to the object:
    • _url: the absoulte url for the view in the current language
    • _meta_title: seo
    • _meta_description: seo
    • _keywords: seo
    • _priority: sitemap priority

We use Oneskyapp.com to translate/review the texts. You can use the task: grunt oneskyExport to override the lang with the translations in: https://upplication.oneskyapp.com (you need the access key and secret key)

Notes:

  • You don't need to follow this process in order to link external resources (blog, youtube videos, etc.) using the language file.
  • Do not overwrite any other URL (you can check the languages files or the auto-generated routing.json file)
  • All variables starting with "_" are mandatory
  • You can split the translations as many files as you want, only respects the naming: [name]_[language_code]-[country-code]*.json

Add a new language

  1. Add language:

    Update: app/locales/languages.json adding the new language

  2. Add the translation file:

    Create: app/locales/[custom_name]_[language_code]-[country_code]*.json
