# JS1K Development Harness

A collection of command-line tools for developing [JS1K](http://js1k.com/2013-spring/rules) entries.


## Installation

    # TODO: upload to npm

## Usage

Run the `js1k` executable. It provides three main subcommands:

### js1k init <filename>

Creates a boilerplate js file that you can add your entry's code to.

### js1k serve <filename>

Starts a web server that serves your entry inside the js1k shim. This will
automatically minify your code for you (with uglify-js), and show the current
size of your entry in the browser. It reloads and minifies your javascript on
every request, so you don't need to restart the server when your code changes
(just refresh your browser).

### js1k build <filename>

Dumps your minified entry code to the console. You can submit this directly
to js1k, although you can probably still save a couple more bytes by editing
the output manually (removing `var`, etc).
