Info and useful links for cross government tools initiative. Currently hosting on heroku at http://x-gov-services-home.herokuapp.com/
Uses the express prototyping tool created by Tom Bye
It gives you a basic Express app, with templates, css and images from the GOV.UK front-end toolkit.
Documentation for the tool can be found on the associated wiki page
You may already have it, try:
node --version
Your version needs to be at least v0.10.0.
If you don't have Node, download it here: http://nodejs.org/.
Install Node.js (see requirements)
npm install
This will install folders containing programs described by the package.json file to a folder called node_modules.
node start.js
Go to localhost:3000 in your browser.
Any code changes should update in the browser without you restarting the app.
The app recompiles app/assets/stylesheets/application.scss everytime changes are observed.
