aedifex

Aedifex

The minimalist lightening-fast javascript task-runner

Setup

Pre-requisite is node.js along with npm

$ npm install

Usage CLI Options

The configuration file is required to be passed for generating the development or production builds. So modify the sample config.json as per your need.

Don not modify the structure of the sample config.json, but the tasks can be made in this format

action -> param1, param2, ..., paramN

In the aedifex.js file, we have Actions class, so each task have the action which maps with the static methods present in the class and the params are mapped with the arguments of those methods.

Since the tasks are listed under an array, so they can be repeated with same or different params. If there is no params required for method then just leave the portion as blank after arrow.

Finally, run the below commands when ready.
