WordPress Baldrick Front-end
============================

[](#wordpress-baldrick-front-end)

Tools for using the [BaldrickJS](https://github.com/Desertsnowman/BaldrickJS) AJAX system in the WordPress front-end.

### Installation

[](#installation)

- Add this to your composer dependencies and do `composer update`
- `npm install`
- `grunt update`

### `grunt` vs `grunt update`

[](#grunt-vs-grunt-update)

The default grunt task, run using `grunt` will concact and minify JS and CSS. The `grunt update` task will clone the BaldrickJS repo from Github and then create the concact and minify JS and CSS. Failing to run `grunt update` on initial install will result in missing essential parts of the code in the JS and CSS files, nothing will work and you will be upset.
