node-haste

Node Haste is a dependency management system for static resources for node.js

How Does It Work?

The goal of node haste is to build or update a map of static resources in given directories. For that it scans provided directories for static resources: JS, CSS, Images, Tests, etc. Once the resources are found haste compares mtimes to the resources in an existing map. It also checks for package.json configuration changes. It then starts parsing all affected files to extract useful information: dependencies, processing options, size, etc. Once scanned it will update the map with the new data.

Example

var Haste = require('node-haste').Haste;
var loaders = require('node-haste').loaders;

// configure haste facade
var haste = new Haste(
  [
    new loaders.JSLoader({ networkSize: true }),
    new loaders.CSSLoader({ networkSize: true }),
    new ProjectConfigurationLoader(),
    new ResourceLoader()
  ],
  ['html']
);

// return current map, utilizing cache if available
haste.update('.cache', function(map) {
  assert(map instanceof ResourceMap);
});

Testing

Node haste is covered with unit tests. The unit tests use Jasmine. Any compatible runner can be used to run the tests.

$ npm install jasmine-node
$ jasmine-node --matchall __tests__/
