bobril-build

Helper tool to build Bobril applications Mainly it will support copying sprites, building big sprites. support i18n. All this during optimal TypeScript compilation.

How to use:

npm install bobril-build -g

Then create package.json with typescript.main or name your main ts file as index.ts or app.ts and start:

bb

This will start bobril build in interactive mode. It will watch changes of your application, recompile and host in on http://localhost:8080. It uses latest Typescript to compile and prefer Node moduleResolution. Compilation for maximum speed enables skipDefaultLibCheck.

There is also command line single build option. Start to learn all options:

bb -h

For development of bobril-build check out this project and start:

npm link
gulp

Use bobril.asset(path) to include asset to compilation. *.css files are automatically linked in index.html head.

It reads package.json and understands:

{
	"typescript": {
		"main": "pathToMain.ts"
	},
	"bobril": {
		"dir": "name of directory where to place release default is dist",
		"resourcesAreRelativeToProjectDir": false, // this is default
		"example": "pathToExample.ts", // sample application entry point - if main is index.ts than example.ts is searched for default
		"title": "index.html Title",
		"constantOverrides": {
			"module_name": {
				"export_name": "New value, it supports also number and boolean values"
			}
		}
	}
}

It is currently not selfhosting but it will come...
