#### Creating a New Library ###

nobj-init-lib

The command, assumming you used mylib as the libname, will generate the following
folder structure:

`
mylibrary
src/
*.js
... all the different source files, using CommonJS modules
css/
*.css
... all the css files
main/
main.js
... the main module to run, if any
assets/
*
... copied to the library web root recursively
`

#### Building a Library

Just type from the project directory:

`nobj-build [libversion]`

- libversion is the library version.

- If specified, compiled library will be published to NPM, providing that a
npm-package.json.template is present on the root folder. This file will use the
placeholder ${VERSION} in the Version Field, and will be substituted with the
pacage version.

- If not specified, no package will be uploaded to NPM

The command will compile all source modules in the folders, and use google-closure-compiler to minimize
the code. A stub with CommonJS is automatically added, so you can use require() in your modules. Additionally,

- Packs all the CSS found in the CSS folders
- Copies your included assets to the resulting Web Root
- The selected template can also have CSS, Assets and code, that is equally merged
- Finally, if you have set the CLOUDDIR env var, the resulting library will be uploded to that S3 bucket path.
- If you have created a npm-package.json, the package is uploaded to NPM
