setup script/server

[jglovier]

@jkleinsc can we setup a script/server command that initiates both Couch and ember serve?

[jkleinsc]

@jglovier I suppose we could. The couch part would be different depending on OS. We could at the very least have a script that tests to see if couch is up before running ember serve.

[jglovier]

Yeah, even if it just triggered ember serve, it would benefit those familiar with the script/server convention by standardizing the approach. If more things were required, it could also output a warning like Be sure to run Couch.app, etc.

I like the idea.
I am also very fan of Makefiles and I can open a PR for that if people think it is valuable and are comfortable using make.

[jkleinsc]

@filipesperandio I don't think we need a Makefile since there aren't any executables for this project that get built. It's an ember web app and the way it gets built is via ember build.

[filipesperandio]

I understand that. make helped me in the past even on script projects smoothing out dependencies.
for example a target make serve could depend on ember-cli and bower being installed.

@jglovier script/server OR scripts/server ? (with an s at the end of scripts)

[jkleinsc]

@filipesperandio gotcha. Thanks for clarifying.

[jglovier]

@filipesperandio I prefer script/server but probably just because it is a convention we use at GitHub. Also, it mentally makes sense when you are running any one given script at a time. I.e. mentally I think "I'm going to run the server script" so it's semantically consistent from that perspective. But it's probably not that big a deal LOL.

[filipesperandio]

Cool, I will adjust.
