ymb

Builder for projects based on ym modules. Built on top of gulp task runner.

Requirements

ymb works with Node.js ^0.10.

Getting Started

####CLI usage:#### You can install ymb globally using Node Package Manager (npm):

npm install -g ymb

Then you can use ymb console command to build your project, create configuration files or setup auto-build task (watch) for any file changes. Builder will then try to find your build.json and gulpfile.js configuration files or use default ones.

ymb [build] [DIR=.] [-m <mode>]		# Runs gulp task `ym-build` described by local or default `gulpfile.js`.
ymb watch [DIR=.] [-m <mode>]		# Setups gulp task `ym-watch` that will run `ym-build` on any change of source files specified in `build.json`.
ymb configure [DIR=.] [build.json] [gulpfile.js] [-f] # Makes a copy of default `build.json` and/or `gulpfile.js` in specified directory.
ymb help					    # Displays this message.

####Explaining build.json:#### build.json contains build settings. You can copy the default one into your project dir with ymb configure . and then override it.

{
    // Globs for files to be processed. Related to project dir.
    "src": {
        "js": "src/**/*.js",
        "css": "src/**/*.css",
        "templates": "src/**/*.ymtpl"
    },
    
    // Path that build results will be placed into. Related to project dir.
    "dest": "build/",
    
    // Name of the output JavaScript file when `store` set to `solid`.
    "concatTo": "all.js",
    
    // Output files optimization.
    "minify": true,

    // If you want to make a plugin for existing project providing `ym` modular system (i.e. `Yandex Maps API`),
    // set `target` option to `plugin`. Option `namespace` should contain name of the main project global namespace.
    //
    // Otherwise you can run your project as standalone.
    // Then builder will inject `ym` modular system and helper modules into build output.
    // In this case option `namespace` specifies the variable name to be exported into the `global` scope,
    // that will contain `modules` property referencing the modular system.
    "target": "plugin",
    "namespace": "ym",

    // Defines how to store your build data: `solid` for single file and `async` for running with `yms`.
    // More information about `yms` and examples of async projects is here: https://www.npmjs.org/package/yms
    "store": "solid",

    // You can insert another async layer, when information about certain modules ("modules map") is not included into `init.js`,
    // but can be loaded with another HTTP request to `yms` server. These features are experimental and may cause issues.
    "asyncMap": false,
    "initialMap": null,

    // You can use different modes overriding global options, but don't forget to specify one of them when running builder.
    // "modes": {
    //     "debug": {
    //         "minify": "false"
    //     }
    // }
}

####Explaining gulpfile.js:#### If you want more flexibility you can also override default gulpfile.js by cloning it locally with ymb configure . gulpfile.js. Read more about gulpfiles on gulp project page.

####Plugins usage:#### If you're already using gulp and have your own gulpfile.js you can require our plugins directly and use them in your tasks.

var gulp = require('gulp'),
    ymbPlugins = require('ymb').plugins;

gulp.task('templates', function () {
    gulp.src(/* .. */)
        .pipe(/* .. */);
        .pipe(ymbPlugins.templates.compile());
        .pipe(/* .. */);
});
