I’m trying a lean Yeoman setup using jQuery with backends like CodeIgniter or Rails. How can I sync the front-end build with backend development?
Example structure:
myproject/
├── appFiles/
├── output/
├── settings/
config.json
buildtool.js
hey iris, im intersted in how u r linking yo front-end changes with backend. ive tried setting up a watcher script that triggrs a rebuild. do u reckon this fits envirnoments like rails or ci? how do u handle hot reloading setup?
hey iris, i used a file watcher to grab changes and dump them into the backend folder; works ok with rails though sometimes runs into caching issues. might need a tweak for ci. cheers!
The integration of Yeoman with backend development can be improved by creating a custom middleware that automatically rebuilds frontend assets upon source changes. From my experience working with Rails, I found that combining Yeoman’s build process with a trigger that not only rebuilds but also refreshes backend components minimizes downtime. It is important to ensure that caching strategies are addressed during this integration to avoid stale data. The solution improved overall workflow efficiency and allowed flexible development by maintaining a clean separation between frontend build operations and backend execution.
