Samuele E. LocatelliNode.js 0.10.28 =============== Node.js is a server-side JavaScript environment that uses an asynchronous event-driven model. Installation overview --------------------- Node.js cmd is installed into .bin dir in your project. Node.js itself is deployed by NuGet, so there is no need to install it locally on dev machines or build servers. If you're using NuGet restore, it's safe to ignore NuGet "packages" dir in Git (or in other VCS), to reduce the size of repository. Automation ---------- Use ".bin\node" command to run Node.js in your build scripts. For example, here is a simple MsBuild target to minify your scripts using Require.js optimizer: <Target Name="OptimizeJs"> <Exec Command=".bin\node Scripts\r.js -o Scripts\build.js" /> </Target> Daily usage ----------- For your convenience, ".bin" is added to the PATH environment variable. You can call "node" directly from your project root dir. For example, if you installed Node.js to "MySite.Web" project of "MySite" solution, you can run it directly in the command prompt from the project dir: D:\Projects\MySite\MySite.Web> node Scripts\server.js Note: add ".bin" to the PATH manually for other developers in your team. Note: if PATH was changed, restart your command prompt to refresh environment variables.
