cplace-asc

cplace-asc is the cplace assets compiler toolchain used to compile TypeScript and LESS sources into their JavaScript and CSS counterparts.

Usage

The assets compiler supports multiple parameters:

$ cplace-asc --help

  cplace assets compiler

  Usage:
      $ cplace-asc

  Options:
      --plugin, -p <plugin>   Run for specified plugin (and dependencies)
      --watch, -w             Enable watching of source files (continuous compilation)
      --onlypre, -o           Run only preprocessing steps (like create tsconfig.json files)
      --clean, -c             Clean generated output folders at the beginning
      --verbose, -v           Enable verbose logging

Option	Type (Default)	Description
--plugin / -p	string (*empty*)	Specify the name of a single plugin for which the assets compiler should be started. Will also compile dependencies of this plugin.
--watch / -w	boolean (false)	When enabled the compiler will watch for changes in any source files and trigger recompilation. All plugins that depend on the modified plugin will also be recompiled.
--onlypre / -o	boolean (false)	When active only preprocessing steps like generating the tsconfig.json files or cleaning the output directories (--clean) will be executed but no compilation.
--clean / -c	boolean (false)	When enabled the assets compiler will first clean any output directories where compiled assets are placed (e.g. generated_js and generated_css).
--verbose / -v	boolean (false)	When enabled verbose logging statements are output in order to facilitate debugging.

Details

• The compiler will spawn at most X number of compile processes in parallel where X equals the number of cores available on the system.
• Compilation is run inside a subprocess via a scheduler. Cancelling the assets compiler may leave intermediate processing steps running for a short time in the background.
