What's Pro?

Pro is a runtime for developing prototypes with web technologies. At its core it's a static file server that supports conversions from the most popular web-development languages into plain html, js and css.

Supported file types:

  • *.styl files are compiled by Stylus into *.css files.
  • *.less files are compiled by LESS into *.css files. Stylus
  • *.jade files are compiled by jade into *.html files.
  • *.coffee files are compiled by CoffeeScript into *.js files.
  • All other files are served as they are.

To give an example, the following folder structure:

index.jade
settings.html
styles/layout.less
styles/theme.styl
styles/libs/jquery-ui.css
scripts/main.coffee
scripts/jquery.js

is accessible by the browser in a compiled form at these paths:

index.html
settings.html
styles/layout.css
styles/theme.css
styles/libs/jquery-ui.css
scripts/main.js
scripts/jquery.js

Prototyper doesn't care what language you prefer, or what folder structure you want. It only cares that you get your prototypes up as quickly as possible.

Install

The easiest way to get started is to install prototyper globally with npm.

npm install -g pro

This gives you access to the executable pro.

Usage

You can navigate to any folder and run pro to start the prototyping server on port 8080.

pro

From there you can navigate to http://localhost:8080/ and browse the contents of the folder where pro is running.

Whenever the browser requests a file, prototyper checks if the source of the file can be found in another file and if it requires compilation.
