binline v3.0.0
Binline
A pocket build tool for web-development (or more). (motto: The build system for the lazy developer)
Usage
This might be ./index.html:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Testing</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>A Test Page</h1>
<script>
{{ @inline "./app.js"}}
</script>
</body>
</html>and this ./app.js:
// Some random code
console.log('Hello World!');To let the thing work you need to setup the files to compile in your package.json:
{
...
"binline": {
"files": [
{ "from": "./index.html", "to": "./public/index.html" }
]
}
...
}Just call binline from the shell to build everything
Going advanced
For now you can only use @inline, but the expressions can become more complex.
Advanced command to uglify the code:
...
{{
@inline "./app.js"
| content => require('uglify-js').minify(content, { fromString: true }).code
}}
...You may pass more commands separated by a |. After the first directive (@inline) the binline expects a
series of arrow function transform text.
Future
1
Add a way to predefine transformers:
...
{{ @define uglify | content => require('uglify-js').minify(content, { fromString: true }).code }}
...and use them:
...
{{ @inline "./app.js" | uglify }}
...2
When predefined trasformers will be a thing I might add a small registry with a list of common transformers (uglify, babel, sass, less, coffeescript, ...)
