pruno

pruno

Mix up gulp tasks like prison hooch. Pruno is a package that lifts heavily (takes most of the code) from Laravel Elixer. Some slight tweaks were made to allow for it to run tasks that build more complex front-end applications.

Installation

Simply run npm install -D pruno gulp in your terminal.

Sample Gulpfile

'use strict';

/**
 * You must pass an instance of the projects local gulp so that the gulp cli
 * will take advantage of the pruno defined tasks.
 */

var gulp = require('gulp');
var pruno = require('pruno').use(gulp);

pruno(function(runner) {
  // Publish npm files.
  runner.publish('./node_modules/font-awesome/fonts/*', '/fonts/');

  // Copy and optimize image assets.
  runner.images('/assets/images/**/*', 'images');

  // Move other assets
  runner.assets(['!/assets/images/**/*', '/assets/**/*']);

  // Spin up the specified koa server.
  runner.koa('api/index.js')

  // Compile stylus files.
  runner.stylus('index.styl');

  // Run browserify.
  runner.browserify();

  // Use livereload to refresh koa server when files change.
  runner.livereload(['./public/**/*']);
});

Module support

1. Stylus
2. SASS
3. LESS
4. React (through browserify)
5. 6to5 (es6 support through browserify)
6. imagemin
7. livereload
8. koa

Writing custom modules

Writing custom modules is easy, just follow the boilerplate:

var pruno = require('pruno');
var config = pruno.config;
var gulp = config.gulp;

pruno.extend('mytask', function(src, output, params) {
    gulp.task('mytask', function() {
      // Do some stuff
    });

    config.registerWatcher('mytask', './path/to/files/**/*.ext');
    return config.queueTask('mytask');
});
