Please consider making a plugin for Guard

I love the Guard and I love ImageOptim.
Would be perfect to join them.

Great idea @renanveroneze, never thought of that.

My Ruby is pretty novice (maybe @joshnesbitt has time to help me out?) but I'll take a look in the coming weeks.

Acceptance criteria is presumably;

• Have Guard watch imageOptim --directory /this/folder/here
• When Guard broadcasts that a file has changed in that folder, have ImageOptim-CLI process just that file.

Sounds easy enough. I'm about to go on Holiday but if you want we could have a crack at it when I'm back @JamieMason?

[JamieMason]

Great, cheers @joshnesbitt have a good holiday.

[joshnesbitt]

NP. For reference here's how to do it.

[JamieMason]

Hey @renanveroneze, you might not need our project for this - does the article Using ImageOptim with guard-shell give you what you need?

Thanks Renan.

[joshnesbitt]

@JamieMason sorry just realised I didn't chase this up :) Looks like someone has beat me to it.

[renanveroneze]

Hi guys, on the topic, I do not like the guard shell.
But this solves my problems.

[joshnesbitt]

@renanveroneze I think creating your own guard should still be relatively simple if that doesn't fit your needs.

[renanveroneze]

Certainly, thanks @joshnesbitt and @JamieMason.

[rjocoleman]

Just a FYI. I made a quick guard: https://github.com/rjocoleman/guard-imageoptim

It's available on RubyGems so gem 'guard-imageoptim' can be added to Ruby app's Gemfile

[JamieMason]

Thanks a lot @rjocoleman, that's sweet! Hopefully this will be just what @renanveroneze was looking for.
