Simple JS and SCSS builder written in Bash-script. This tool is at a very early development stage. It is NOT recommended to use this tool at this moment for other than educational purposes.
Mostly because of performance. I myself have had some performance issues when using Gulp.js, mostly when running many tasks. JS compilation took quite a few seconds in large projects.
Therefore, I'm trying to make this tool as performant as possible through a simple architecture and by keeping the list of dependencies as minimal as possible.
- inotify-tools
- uglify-js (global npm module)
In order to try it out run sh buildr.sh. A menu will be displayed for you to choose an option.
- Select (1) Compress JS.
- Enter the path to js files:
js/*.js. - Enter the path to the directory where the compiled files will be located:
dest/js. - Enter the name of the compiled JS:
app.js.
Now you'll see a message saying that your JS files were compressed. Same steps apply for CSS compression.
For automatic compression on each change to a JS/CSS file select (3) Watch for changes
