A tool to load tasks (from a directory) and output contents as a mapped object
npm install require-tasks
A tool to require a directory, and (optionally) inject each file in that directory with supplied arguments.
For example, given the following directory structure:
``
├── build
├── tasks
└── copy.js
└── webpack.js
this tool (when configured to search in build/tasks) will load each file in tasks, and will inject each task with supplied arguments, and then return a structure like:
`javascript`
{
copy() {}, // reference to what copy.js returns
webpack() {} // reference to what webpack.js returns
}
`bash`
npm i require-tasks -D
`javascript
import requireTasks from 'require-tasks';
const tasks = requireTasks(['build/tasks'])(); // any arguments passed will be made available to any task that exports a function
`
tasks will be an object with each key representing the filename of every file in build/tasks. Additionally, any files that export an object (or a function that returns an object) will available as a property on the filename as the key.
Additionally, if a task returns an object, that task will be treated as "multi-task" and each key in the object will be added to the parent task. For example, given the following task:
#### build/tasks/copy.js
`javascript`
export default function copy(...args) {
return {
benz() {
// do something
},
otherBenz() {
// do something else
},
otherOtherBenz() {
// do this thing
}
};
}
The returned object will contain a property like so:
`javascript``
{
copy: {
benz() {},
otherBenz() {},
otherOtherBenz() {}
}
}
