About
[Apache NiFi project] (http://nifi.incubator.apache.org).
Getting Started
The site is built using grunt task runner, bower package manager for the web, and npm package manager for node. npm is used to manage the node modules required for building this site. bower is used to manage the front end packages that the site will depend on.
Both grunt and bower can be installed via npm once it is installed.
sudo npm install -g grunt-cli
sudo npm install -g bower
To download the front end packages required for this site run the following command from the nifi-site directory.
bower install
To install the node modules required to build this site run the following command from the nifi-site directory.
npm install
The site is built using foundation a responsive front end framework. Consequently, the site is using sass and compass for CSS pre-processing. This will also require ruby to be installed along with sass and compass. Both sass and compass can be installed via ruby once it is installed. In order to run gem install ruby-devel might also need to be installed.
gem install compass
Grunt Tasks
To build the site run the default grunt task. This will assemble the site and place the resulting site in the dist folder. Part of this assembly is actually building the various guides and Rest Api documentation bundled in the application. Because of this, Maven must be installed and available on the PATH. Additionally Java must be installed in order for the Maven build to succeed. Refer to the NiFi documentation for minimum requirements for Maven and Java.
grunt
If developing new content/features for the site, it may be helpful to run the dev task which will build the site and continue to watch the source files for changes. Any changes will cause the site to be rebuilt.
grunt dev
To deploy new changes to the live site, run the deploy task
grunt deploy
This will go through each step required to deploy changes to the site. Updates are performed by committing to a SVN repository. This means that svn must be installed and available on the PATH. Additionally, it requires SVN 1.6+. The deployment process will show the files being committed and provide an option to view a diff, proceed with the commit, or abort.
