Lineman is a Node.js/Grunt-based toolchain for developing fat-client web apps. It provides asset compilation (JS, CSS, templates), live server, file-watching with auto-tests, mock backends, and build optimizations. It simplifies SPA development without tightly coupling frameworks, and includes plugins for blogging, Angular/Ember, etc. Though less maintained nowadays, it was pioneer in front-end tooling.

Features

  • Asset pipeline: compile JS/CSS/templates
  • Live dev server with file watching and auto-testing
  • Integrates with Grunt tasks
  • Plugin ecosystem (blog, Angular, Ember)
  • Builds optimized production bundles
  • Command-line project scaffolding (lineman new)
