SkelJS aims to be a reference implementation of a JavaScript-centric MediaWiki extension, embodying best practices.

Out of the box, you get:

• QUnit test scaffold
• ResourceLoader integration
• MediaWiki-compatible JSHint config
• Command-line build tool (grunt)

SkelJS is currently a very rough draft. More input and refinements are necessary before it is ready for public consumption.

• TestSwarm integration
• Top / bottom module setup
• Sample JS code, using mw.loader
• Maybe: grunt.js syntaxCheck.php integration
• Maybe: Parse module configuration from JSON file so that no edits to PHP code are required

First, install the requirements: node, npm, grunt and phantomjs'.

Add the following line to LocalSettings.php:

require_once( "$IP/extensions/SkelJS/SkelJS.php" );

Run grunt in the extension's root directory to lint your JavaScript code and run unit tests.
