Sensei Grid Daily Progress

Today was a big day for Sensei Grid, an open source data grid in JavaScript/HTML I am currently working on. The project reached 2nd place in GitHub’s Trending repository list (1st between JavaScript repositories). GitHub sends out daily emails about new Trending repos and that resulted in even more traffic and followers to Sensei Grid. I was happy to see project’s community growing steadily.

I continued my work on the project and made it available as a Bower package. You can now install Sensei Grid with just one simple command bower install sensei-grid. I also cleaned up the repository, added some basic tests and testing infrastructure. I got confused between countless options for JS project testing, but finally decided to use good old Jasmine with PhantomJS and Grunt. Tests can be easily executed by just running grunt test.

Sensei Grid is now hooked with Travis CI platform and build status is always visible in the README.md file. Check out Sensei Grid at Travis CI. Currently Travis is configured to just run tests, but I will add code hinting and other goodies soon.
