banshee v0.1.1

##A speedy tool for combining and compressing your JavaScript, CoffeeScript, CSS and LESS source files.

Banshee combines your source files into a single script or stylesheet to reduce HTTP overhead and make development easier. It has built-in support for Sprockets-style dependency syntax (#= require x) and a lightning-fast, built-in watch mechanism to detect changes to your source files and recompile on the fly.

Requires node v0.8+

###Installation

$ npm install -g banshee

###Command Line Interface

Syntax:

$ banshee <input file>:<output file> [options]

Example

$ banshee src/application.coffee:build/application.min.js

###Options

###Requiring Source Files

Banshee supports Sprockets-style requires, with one exception. Instead of using require_tree, you can simply use require and Banshee will automatically detect if the path is a source file or a directory. Please note, doing require on a top level directory will be recursive through its sub-directories.

Syntax: (JavaScript)

//= require lib/some_directory
//= require other_file.js

Syntax: (CoffeeScript)

#= require lib/some_directory
#= require other_file.coffee

Syntax: (CSS)

/*= require lib/some_directory */
/*= require other_file.css */

Syntax: (LESS) Uses normal LESS import statements.

@import 'lib/dependency1';
@import 'dependency2';

Paths used in require statements are evaluated relative to the file which contains them.
