pruno

pruno

A gulp task manager with cascading configuration. Pruno was inspired by Laravel Elixer and adds several features like a simplified task syntax and cascading configuration.

Installation

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

Use

Supported commands

With pruno, you can run gulp, gulp watch, gulp --production or NODE_ENV={yourEnv} gulp (watch?). Gulp will run using the configuration that matches your environment.

Simple Configuration

Using pruno is as simple as telling it which tasks to run. It assumes a set of default configuration options to let you get started quickly.

'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(mix) {
  mix
    .assets()
    .publish()
    .stylus()
    .browserify()
    .koa()
    .livereload();
});

Yaml Configuration

If you want to change the global defaults used by Pruno, you can point it to a directory that holds the environment-based yaml configuration. Pruno leverages yaml-env-config, so any configuration must be stored in a pruno.yaml file.

# config/pruno.yaml

browserify:
  es6: true
  runtime: true
  entry: ./src/javascripts/entry.js
  dist: ./dist/application.js
stylus:
  entry: ./src/styles/index.styl
  dist: ./dist/app.css
  normalize: true
  font-awesome: true

# config/production/pruno.yaml

browserify:
  uglify: true
  source-maps: false
  dist: ./dist/application.min.js
stylus:
  source-maps: false
  minify: true
  dist: ./dist/app.min.css

To use these commands, in our pruno run block, we would start the calls off with the following:

pruno(function(mix) {
    mix.configure('./config')
      .assets()
      // ...
});

By running any of the gulp commands, gulp will compile your code based on the parameters set in those config files.

Inline Configuration

Lastly you can use inline configuration in your Gulpfile to override your env-configuration as well as the Pruno defaults. In our Gulpfile, let's do this:

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

pruno(function(mix) {
  mix.configure('./config')
  .stylus({
    entry: './app/styles/client.styl',
    dist: './public/stylesheets/client.css'
  })
  .stylus({
    entry: './app/styles/admin.styl',
    dist: './pubic/stylesheets/admin.css'
  })
  .browserify()
  .publish({
    sources: [
      './node_modules/font-awesome/fonts/**/*'
    ],
    dist: './public/fonts/'
  });
});

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');
});
