mission v0.0.9

Mission: common tasks in Web development

Bundled tasks for developing single page apps.

Usage

npm install --save-dev mission shelljs

Config in CoffeeScript or JavaScript:

#!/usr/bin/env coffee
require 'shelljs/make'

mission = require 'mission'

target.coffee = ->
  mission.coffee
    from: 'src/'
    files: ['a.coffee', 'dir/b.coffee']
    to: 'lib/'
    options:
      bare: yes

Here's mine: https://github.com/jiyinyiyong/mk/blob/master/make.coffee

Run it like this:

chmod +x make.coffee
./make.coffee coffee

or like me:

alias mk='coffee make.coffee'
mk coffee

Other configurations

Say if you want to compile only one file:

target.coffee = ->
  mission.coffee
    file: 'a.coffee'
    from: 'src/'
    to: 'lib/'
    options:
      bare: yes

Or you may need to find some files that are deep in folders:

target.coffee = ->
  mission.coffee
    find: /\.coffee$/
    from: 'src/'
    to: 'lib/'
    options:
      bare: yes

from and to are optional, you mat only need to write file sometimes:

target.coffee = ->
  mission.watch
    file: 'dir'
    trigger: (filename, extname) ->

Usage

• tree: creates file tree

• bump: bump version with semver.

• uglify: minify JavaScript code

• coffee: compile CoffeeScript to JavaScript, with sourceMap support

• watch: watch directories, callback filenames and extnames

• time: log the time it cost

• realod: reload tab with devtools-reloader-station

• browserify: combine JavaScript code on CommonJS

• browserifyVender: helper for browserify to generate vender.js

• cssmin: combine CSS files and minify code

• dot: precompile dot files to JavaScript

• jade: compile Jade to HTML

• less: compile LESS to CSS

SourceMap is enabled by default, and here I have to use command line. Related to: https://github.com/less/less.js/issues/1985 Anyway, mission.less needs to be updated in the future.

• rsync: run Rsync with some default configs

• copy: copy files and directories

• wait: wait chan.done = false to be true and run task

• cirruHtml compile Cirru HTML

• cirruHtmlJs compile Cirru to template in JavaScript(not tested)

Notice

Asynchronous callings are hard to handle in ShellJS. In this angle, Grunt did a good job in sequencing tasks.

But you can try wait to reduce the pain. mission would keep watching .done and run task when it's true.

target.test = ->
  a = done: no
  mission.wait a, ->
    console.log 'finish task'

  setTimeout ->
    a.done = yes
  , 2000

Development

Compile *.coffee:

./make.coffee compile
