## README

Cafe is a build tool for client-side applications aiming to be language/module system/architecture agnostic and flexible. Tries hard to be modular and extensible by itself too.

Current version (cafe4) is a prototype and is written in Coffeescript in functional and asynchronous way (mostly functional and mostly asynchronous :-).

#Installation

    npm install -g cafe4

#Usage

First init a cafe project with

    cafe init

This would create you template recipe file, where you can describe packages your app is using. Working recipe looks something like this:

```yaml
abstract: {api_version: 5}

modules:
    - module1: modules/module1
    - jquery: [jquery.1.8.js, plainjs]
    - module2: [modules/module2, [jquery]]
    - my_coffee_module: [my_coffee_file.coffee]

bundles:
    bundle1:
        modules:
            - jquery
            - module1
            - module2
            - my_coffee_module

    bundle2:
        modules:
            - jquery
            - module1
            - my_coffee_module
```

To compile your app run

    cafe menu build
