builder-bob

Yet another builder tool.

npm install git+https://github.com/lucentminds/builder-bob.git

Example bobfile

module.exports = function( bob ) {
        
    const job = bob.createJob( 'build' );

    // Do this first.
    job.addTask( 'step_1', function(){
        return new Promise(( resolve ) => {
            console.log( '\nRunning step_1...' );
            setTimeout( resolve( 'foo' ), 3000 );
        });
    });

    // Do this second.
    job.addTask( 'step_2', function( previous_result, next ){
        console.log( `${previous_result} bar` ) // foo bar
        return next();
    });

    // Always return bob. :)
    return bob;
};// /exports()

Or all at once.

module.exports = function( bob ) {
        
    const job = bob.createJob( 'task' );

    job.setTasks([
        // Do this first.
        {
            task: 'empty',
            do: function(){
                // Create promises here.
            },
        },
        
        // Do this second.
        {
            task: 'copy',
            do: function(){
                // Create promises here.
            },
        },
    ]);
    
    // Always return bob. :)
    return bob;
};// /exports()

TODO

• Make it so that if a build job is running, it MUST complete before allowing another to run. This is because of file contention issues. So make a combo throttle/debouncer to wait until previous job is complete before allowing the latest request.
• Develop a spiffy CLI for bob.
