substratum v0.1.2

Substratum

Substratum provides a baseline configuration for your Node.js projects, primarily via a set of common gulp tasks.

To get started:

npm install substratum --save

and create a gulpfile.js:

var gulp = require('gulp');
require('substratum').gulp.configureTasks(gulp);

Configuration

Substratum will assume a standard project layout, with sources under src/, tests under test/, etc.

You can override these values (and many more), by passing options via the second argument to configureTasks.

See Context for a full reference.

Gulp Tasks

Substratum defines many gulp tasks for you in a cascade. Tasks are grouped into namespaces, and a namespace tasks will run all tasks under them. I.e. gulp test will run all tasks that begin with test:.

For a full reference, just run gulp -T.

watch

This should be your bread and butter. Leave gulp watch running in the background, and it will continually run tests against any file that changes as you edit it. Any issues will trigger a notification for you.

test:style:jshint

Runs jshint configured for a modern world against your project's sources.

test:style:jscs

Runs jshint configured for a modern world against your project's sources.
