##TGM Chart template

Minimal template to automate some steps for making iframe charts for TGM stories. Offers coffeescript, less and livereload for rapid chart-making.

1. npm install
2. bower install <package> for the packages you want to use, eg bower install jquery highcharts
3. Add links to library scripts in index.html inside the library block
4. grunt server to view what is happening
5. grunt build to compile/minify/concatenate/etc

###TODO:

• Automate deployment to CDN
• Design template for standalone viz (for cases when people might want to link to the viz or chart directly). Might include:
  • branding
  • link back to original story
  • social media stupidity
• Templates/API for particular chart/viz types?
