What is it? ----------- Stress-free combining of your javascript files. Start it with your target project, daemonize it, and forget about it. Forever.... Why? ---- Because current javascript build scripts are a pain to manage, and this one was built to use, and forget. Requirements ------------ - Node.js - Linux / Mac - NPM - [beet](https://github.com/spiceapps/beet) - upstart script which daemonizes yor stuff Keep in Mind ------------ This was a Sunday project, so expect leaky, buggy results. I'll fix stuff as they come up. The name sucks... ----------------- Sardines sounded pretty good because it makes you think of a bunch of fish (javascript) packed in a tiny can (single file). Cmon', I gotta stick with the food metaphor.. Sweet Stuff ----------- - Supports NPM packages. - Extendable ([brazln](https://github.com/spiceapps/brazln)) - Supports growl notifications - Variables are removed from the global namespace. - Parses require(...), so your code stays compatible on the backend, as well as the front end. - Don't care for combining JS files, but want to know the dependencies? Use the API. - Fork the watching process, and forget about it. Need to reboot your machine? It's still watching your shit. - Doesn't rebuild any html. Instead it looks for JS files with require(...), and includes the dependencies into *that* JS file. Terminal Usage -------------- Usage: sardines <cmd> Arguments: -input <input dir> The input directory of the project -output <output dir> The output directory of the project Optional: -daemonize Daemonizes the watcher -watch Watches the project -name Name of the running process. Required for forking Terminal Examples ----------------- start watching a project: sardines -input /path/to/project/src -output /path/to/project/release start watching a project, and daemonize: sardines -input /path/to/project/src -output /path/to/project/release -name myProjectName -daemonize stopping the daemon: beet stop sardine-myProjectName To-Do: ------ - better documentation - help file for CLI - reading package.json for project - compressing javascript files - clean up the code + document it.
