build-bin

build-bin

A zero-configuration plugin system for building assets for production release

Installing

build-bin is available as an npm package.

Usage

Add build-bin to the package.json as follows:

{
  "name": "project",
  "private": true,
  "scripts": {
    "build": "build"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "build-bin": "^0.0.2"
  }
}

Then add plugins for each desired build workflow. Existing plugins are listed below.

From the command line, run:

npm run build

Plugins

• build-esnext compiles, concatenates, and minifies ES.next modules.

Writing Plugins

Plugins must have a name that starts with build- and declare a stage in package.json. Valid stages include compile and compress. All plugins from the compile stage are run first, followed by plugins in the compress stage.

{
  "name": "build-esnext",
  "stage": "compile",
  "main": "src/index.js"
}

Plugins must export a function or async function and must write into the dist directory.

import {fs} from 'node-promise-es6';

export default async function() {
  await fs.writeFile('dist.js', 'console.log("Hello World!");');
}
