Gear.js - Build System for Node.js and the Browser
npm install gearGear.js is an easy to use, simple to extend, and powerful build system. Chain tasks together to build projects with ease.
Features:
* Basic building blocks that can be combined to perform complex builds.
* Tasks are simply defined and keep system internals to a minimum.
* Asynchronous execution.
* Extensible task loading via NPM, file, or directory.
* Advanced flow control for complex task execution.
* Runs in Node.js and the browser.
To get the most out of Gear.js, you will want to install gear-lib which contains tasks for linting, minifying, and deploying JS/CSS assets.
``bash`
$ npm install gear gear-lib
`javascript`
new Queue()
.read('foo.js')
.log('read foo.js')
.inspect()
.write('foobarbaz.js')
.run();
`javascript`
new Queue()
.read(['foo.js', {name: 'bar.js'}, 'baz.js'])
.log('read foo.js')
.inspect()
.write(['newfoo.js', 'newbar.js']) // Not writing 'baz.js'
.run();
`javascript``
new Queue()
.read('foo.js')
.log('Parallel Tasks')
.tasks({
read: {task: ['read', ['foo.js', 'bar.js', 'baz.js']]},
combine: {requires: 'read', task: 'concat'},
minify: {requires: 'combine', task: 'jsminify'},
print: {requires: 'minify', task: 'inspect'}, // Runs when read, combine, and minify complete
parallel: {task: ['log', "Hello Gear.js world!"]} // Run parallel to read
}).run();
