What's afterbuild-starter?

When the build process is over, afterbuild-starter will automatically:

• stop the node process that runs your Web app (if exists)
• start a new node process with your Web app
• open the browser with the url of your site

Setting up

you can use starter({path:"",url:""}) at any final callback of any build system.

starter({path:"",url:""}) takes 2 args:

• path - The path to the .js file containing the main node app (String)
• url - The url to your website (String) (Default:"http://localhost")

Examples

With gulpfile.js:

var starter = require('node-starter');

gulp.task('default', ['minify-html'], function(){

    starter({path:"Path/To/Your/main.js",url:"URL/to/your/site"});
});

With Gruntfile.js:

var starter = require('node-starter');

grunt.registerTask('starter', function() {

   starter({path:"Path/To/Your/main.js",url:"URL/to/your/site"});
