Workflow

When building something you should be able to see the product as you work, and while component does require a build step it's simple to make process transparent. The following are some tools to help you achieve this:

• jkroso/buildfresh - monitors your project and executes a command when files change before refreshing your browser. It should work fine cross platform. Needs to be paired with the liveReload browser plugin in order to reload your browser.
• sublime-component - a tiny plugin for st3. runs make on post_save.
• watch - periodically execute a command
• sublime-reload - reloads all styles on sublime post save, this works on safari, chrome and chrome canary. works only on macs.
• calce/packrat - Watch and rebuild components, live css update on css file changes or reload page on js file changes.
• jprichardson/tin - Easily manage NPM, component, and bower package files so that your components can be used with other JavaScript dependency managers and module loaders.
