Development envoirment

• We manage javascript libraries with Bower
  1. Libraries are downloaded and extrated into Source/vendors/
• We compile all files in the Source directory into multiple files with Gulp:
  1. LESS compiles into a combined LESS file for the template of Customization.
  2. LESS compiles into a CSS file used if Customization is disabled.
  3. JS files is combined into one file:
  • Core files is written to touchui.bundled.js
  • Libraries is written to touchui.libraries.js
  • Knockout is written to touchui.libraries.js
