Features

Aggregation

Folio can be used for creating asyncronous builds of client files for javascript.

var path = require('path'),
    fs = require('fs'),
    folio = require('folio');

// normal output
var glossary = new folio.glossary([
  path.join(__dirname, 'assets', 'first.js'),
  path.join(__dirname, 'assets', 'second.js')
], { minify: true });

// build tasks
glossary.compile(function(err, source) {
  fs.writeFileSync('assets.min.js', source);
});

Serve files with Express

The same binding can easily be served using express.

var server = require('express').createServer();

server.get('/assets.min.js', folio.serve(glossary));

server.listen(8000);

Testing

Tests are built on vows.

$ vows test/*.test.js --spec
