resource_build

This is a tool make easier to concat and compress the javascript & css files

Installing

 $ npm install -g resource_build

Getting started

Create .rbuildrc in your application root directory:

{
    "path": {
        "build": {
            "javascript": "build/javascripts",
            "css": "build/stylesheets"
        },
        "components_config": "configs/components.json"
        "resources_config": "configs/resources",
        "static_root": "assets"
    },
    "prefix": {
        "resources_key": "controllers",
        "resources_css": "assets/stylesheets"
        "resources_javascript": "assets/javascripts"
    }
}

• The components_config should be a json file, but resources_config can be either a json file or a directory, you can see the example in tests/configs

• The static_root is root static directory in your application

• The resources_key is the key of resource prefix(e.g. a resource key is named user@index, the full key is should be controllers/user@index)

• The resources_css & resources_javascript are the source file path prefix(e.g. a resource file path is defined home.js, the full path is should be assets/javascripts/home.js)

• In resources configs, you may found a special key named 'global', it means the resources would be loaded in every page(e.g. tests/configs/resources/global.json)

• If you want to ingore the global resources, just set ignore_global true(e.g. tests/configs/resources/home.json)
