Asset-Wrap is a simple asset manager for node.

Goals

1. build anytime (middleware or dynamically)
2. css: support stylus, less, and sass
3. js: support coffee-script
4. use async whenever possible
5. support cluster
6. easily extendible
7. watch for file changes
8. serve files from s3 or cloudfiles or azure

Install

``bash
npm install asset-wrap
`

Asset

An asset representing a css or js file

`
asset = new wrap.Asset {
src: '/js/app.js'
}
`

$3


* cache: maxAge to set cache headers
* src: the path to your source file
* dst: the location to serve your file from (without the md5 appended)
* url: the dst with the md5 appended
* cdn: cdn information to push assets to
* data: the content
* ext: the file extension of the wrapped asset
* md5: the md5 of the wrapped content
* tag: the full html tag to render

$3

* complete: Emitted after asset has content, headers, url, etc.
* compiled: Emitted once asset.data is compiled
* error: Emitted if there is an error compiling the asset

$3

`
class MyAsset extends wrap.Asset
ext: 'txt'
name: 'my-asset'
type: 'text/plain'
compile: ->
@data = 'hello world'
@emit 'compiled'

`


Assets


A group of Assets. Use when you're compiling multiple assets or for middleware

`
assets = new wrap.Assets [
new wrap.Snockets {
src: 'assets/hello.coffee'
}
new wrap.Stylus {
src: 'assets/hello.styl'
}
], {
compress: true
watch: true
}, (err) =>
throw err if err
`

$3

Options are the exact same as an asset. Any options given here are passed
down to each asset.

Asset Types

Examples

`
require('zappajs') ->
wrap = require 'asset-wrap'
assets = new wrap.Assets [
new wrap.Snockets {
src: 'assets/hello.coffee'
dst: '/js/hello.js'
}
new wrap.Stylus {
src: 'assets/hello.styl'
dst: '/css/hello.css'
}
], {
compress: true
watch: true
}, (err) =>
throw err if err
@use assets.middleware

@get '/': ->
@render index: {
assets: assets
}

@view index: ->
head ->
text @assets.tag '/css/hello.css'
text @assets.tag '/js/hello.js'
body ->
a href: @assets.url '/css/hello.css', ->
'View CSS'
pre ->
@assets.data '/css/hello.css'
a href: @assets.url '/js/hello.js', ->
'View Javascript'
pre ->
@assets.data '/js/hello.js'
`

$3


`
require('zappajs') ->
wrap = require 'asset-wrap'

@get '/': ->
asset = new wrap.Snockets {
src: 'assets/hello.coffee'
compress: true
}, (err) =>
@res.send 500, err if err
@res.setHeader 'ContentType', asset.type
@res.send asset.data
`

$3


`
cluster = require 'cluster'
os = require 'os'

if cluster.isMaster
# Fork workers
cluster.fork() for i in os.cpus()
cluster.on 'exit', (worker, code, signal) ->
console.log "worker #{worker.process.pid} died"
else
# Workers can share any TCP connection
require('zappajs') ->
wrap = require 'asset-wrap'

@get '/js/hello.js': ->
asset = new wrap.Snockets {
src: 'assets/hello.coffee'
dst: '/js/hello.js'
compress: true
}, (err) =>
@res.send 500, err if err
@res.setHeader 'ContentType', asset.type
@res.send asset.data

@get '/': ->
@render 'index': {layout: no}

@view index: ->
body ->
div ->
a href: '/js/hello.js', ->
'View Javascript'
