Should I write an article about using Grunt to make life easier for a client-side developer while working with Java/.NET?
Hello.
For the second year I have been sitting in ridonly, not finding a particularly interesting topic in order to write an article.
On the current project, Java is used on the backend, in conjunction with the Tomcat server.
Time was not allotted for the proper configuration of Tomcat, and, to be honest, I’m not sure if such a configuration is possible, but the bottom line is that with frontend development, in order for Tomcat to update static files, you need to update resources on it every time. Which is quite annoying and takes some time.
The whole environment is deployed using Intellij Idea, but I prefer Sublime Text, therefore Tomcat from Idea does not update its resources when saving files, which makes the development process extremely inconvenient.
A way was found using Grunt and a chrome extension to get rid of the problem of updating Tomcat resources in general, combining this with other Grunt tasks. In general, the solution is applicable to any backend where there are similar problems, and is also not tied to any development environment. Tested only in Chrome, but in FF it should also work.
I'm not sure if this solution should be considered original compared to a simple server configuration, but using Grunt, it does not take very much time.
Is it worth trying to write an article about it?

write in the sandbox, and it will be visible there. But I advise you to look at what has already been written on the topic of the grant.
Although, as for me, there are not enough sane articles on the integration of grunt and, in general, the front-end staff in the workflow of the project.
