Build a project continuously

The grunt tool provides options for compiling your project. The grunt with the dev option automatically builds as you customize.

Before you begin, you must prepare your environment for customization and have a customization project identified.
  1. Open a command prompt window at your project_dir directory.
  2. At the command line, run the command: grunt dev You see tasks being run as components are updated. Then the date and time of completion is shown and a message that grunt is waiting. Leave the command window open as you work on your customization's project files. As you make changes or modify files, grunt rebuilds your project automatically.
