• Grunt for compiling front-end (JS and CSS)

Project Setup

1. With Ruby 1.9.2+ installed, Run bundle install to install Ruby dependencies.
2. With Node installed, run npm install to install Node dependencies.

Development

To update Managed Services, edit: https://github.com/CenturyLinkCloud/PriceEstimator/blob/master/source/js/app/templates/addManagedApp.haml

Build

• To compile front-end assets run grunt. This may be unecessary if you've been running grunt dev; grunt does the same stuff without the watching.
• Run middleman build to output compiled HTML, CSS, JS to the build directory
• Deploy the contents of the build directory.

Assumptions for Calculations

• 730 hours in a month
