0.1

• Stability
• ReactJS siesta integration
• AngularJS siesta integration

0.2

• Store binary data

0.3

• Visualisation tool
• Performance tool

0.4

• Save changes to model instances rather than entire model instances when dirty
• Faulting Mechanism (i.e. don't load all data from storage at once...). Much like core data faulting mechanism.
• Toggle faulting mechanism

• API descriptors? (maybe)

Contributing

Note that if you intend to make a pull request you should fork and clone your own repo.

# git clone https://github.com/<username>/siesta.git if you're cloning your own repo.
git clone https://github.com/mtford90/siesta.git 
cd siesta
npm install 
bower install 
# Siesta depends on forks of some Javascript projects, and the gh-pages branch is also a submodule.
git pull && git submodule init && git submodule update && git submodule status

To make sure that all is well, run the tests:

grunt test

We can automatically run tests when modelEvents are detected by running the following commands:

grunt watch

Build/Compilation

We can build and compile siesta using:

# Generate build/siesta.*.js as well as build/siesta.*.min.js and build/siesta.*.min.js.gz
grunt compile
