What is Ractive.js?
-------------------
It's a JavaScript library for building reactive user interfaces in a way that doesn't force you into a particular framework's way of thinking. Its features include...
* data-binding, with a beautiful declarative syntax
* event handling that doesn't make you tear your hair out
* flexible and performant animations and transitions
...among many others. It takes a radically different approach to DOM manipulation - one that saves both you and the browser unnecessary work.
To get a feel for how it will make your life as a web developer easier, visit [ractivejs.org](http://ractivejs.org), follow the [interactive tutorials](http://learn.ractivejs.org), or try the [60 second setup](https://github.com/Rich-Harris/Ractive/wiki/60-second-setup).

Building
--------
To build the project locally, you'll need to have [Grunt](http://gruntjs.com) installed. Clone the repo, navigate to the folder, then do
```shell
$ npm install
```
to install all the development dependencies (which aren't included in the repo itself). Then do
```shell
$ grunt
```
to build the project from source, lint it, run the tests and minify the library. If all of those steps succeed, files will be created in the `build` folder.
Other grunt commands available:
```shell
# Watch all source files, and rebuild when they change. This will
# only concatenate the files (it won't lint/test/minify) to the
# tmp folder
$ grunt watch
# Concatenate the files to the tmp folder
$ grunt concat
# Lint the concatenated code
$ grunt jshint
# Run tests on the concatenated code
$ grunt qunit
# Release a new version of the library to the release folder
# (reads version number from package.json)
$ grunt release
```

Browser support
---------------
Tested successfully in IE8+ and all modern browsers. If your experience differs please let me know! (For legacy browser support, use the builds with `legacy` in the filename - these include polyfills for `Array.prototype.forEach` and other ES5 features used by Ractive.)
