sweetbuild v0.2.0

sweetbuild

A Sweet.js DSL for Broccoli, the best frontend asset pipeline.

Usage

$ npm install --save-dev sweet.js sweetbuild broccoli broccoli-merge-trees

Put the following in Brocfile.js:

require('sweet.js').loadMacro('sweetbuild');
module.exports = require('./Brocfile.sjs');

Put your build script in Brocfile.sjs (or whatever you required in Brocfile.js) and use Broccoli like you normally do.

The macros

brequire

A shorthand for require. Requires some_thing from broccoli-some-thing.

brequire source_map; // requires broccoli-source-map as source_map

+++ and +!+

Operators that merge trees using broccoli-merge-trees. They are left-associative. +!+ is the {overwrite: true} version. You can use both single trees and lists of trees at both sides.

var scripts = 'src' +++ 'vendor/src';
var styles = ['normalize', 'formalize'].map(function(x) {return 'bower_components/' + x}) +++ ['stylesheets', 'ie-stylesheets'] +!+ 'vendor/stylesheets';

->

The chain operator. Like the UNIX pipe for plugin calls. Best understood by example:

var scripts = 'src/main/coffee' -> coffee({bare: true}) -> uglify_js;
// same as:
var scripts = uglify_js(coffee('src/main/coffee', {bare: true}));

A complete example

brequire coffee;
brequire uglify_js;
brequire sass;
brequire manifest;

var scripts = 'vendor/js' +++ ('cs' -> coffee)
	-> uglify_js;

var styles = 'vendor/css' +++ ('vendor/sass' +++ 'sass'
	-> sass('main.scss', 'main.css'));

var assets = scripts +++ styles;

module.exports = assets +++ manifest(assets);
