Sprint 0 : Step 4: Outsource our UI Design

Now we are at a good point to outsource our UI design.

This would be a good time to read about our approach to handling views in our development process.

Currently this plugin has a set of mockup files :

/assets/mockup.html : Contains the HTML mockup of the project
/assets/mockup_setup.js : Contains any javascript code the UI designer needs to animate his mockup

At this point in the Sprint, I now send my UI developer the project design document, and tell him to prepare their own copy of the project:

NOTE: if your going through the tutorial, you don't need to do any of the following things. This is just what I tell our UI designer how to get started working with our mockups.

setup a development environment

git clone THEIR Fork of the project

# assuming in sails directory:
$ cd node_modules
$ git clone https://github.com/[DeveloperAccount]/opstool-process-approval.git
$ cd opstool-process-approval/
$ git checkout -b develop
$ git push -u origin develop

and pull down a clone of the appdev-mockups project to make sure these html templates work.
```
$ cd assets
$ git clone https://github.com/appdevdesigns/appdev-mockups.git 
```
Now open the assets/mockup.html in a browser and verify there are no errors.

But not using Chrome! Chrome prevents local file access.
