Jerry Rig

Jerry Rig is a tool for starting web applications fast.

Requirements

You need nodejs and more importantly npm to run Jerry Rig.

Starter Specification

Running Jerry Rig require you have a jerry.json file. The object inside the jerry.json file can have the following basic properties:

{
    "projectName": <Name for the project>,
    "version": <The Version of the project>
}

After you define the basic properties you can define more application specific properties. These are all detailed in the subsections below.

Structuring Projects

You can structure the resulting directory by adding a key-value pair like this:

{
    ...
    "structure": {
        ".": ["index.html"],
        "webapp":{
            "css": []
        }
    }
    ...
}

This adds an empty file called index.html in the root directory of the project and a folder called webapp. Inside the webapp directory is an empty folder called css.

Node Package Manager

{
    ...
    "npm": {
        depends: {
            <package> : <version>
        },
        devDepends: {
            <package> : <version>
        }
    }
    ...
}
