Building
--------
*Linux/Mac/Windows Command Line:*
- install [node.js](http://nodejs.org)
- install grunt from the command line using npm (comes with node.js):
npm install -g grunt-cli
- from the WebCola directory:
npm install
- build, minify and test:
grunt
This creates the `cola.js` and `cola.min.js` files in the `WebCola` directory, generates `index.js` for npm, and runs tests.
*Visual Studio:*
- get the [typescript plugin](http://www.typescriptlang.org/#Download)
- open webcola.sln
