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.

Module support

• es6 (as a param in the js module)
• imagemin
• jade (with gulp-data support)
• koa
• less
• livereload
• mocha (with coffee and should support as params)
• react (as a param in the js module)
• sass/scss
• stylus
• swig (with gulp data support)

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 pruno = require('pruno')
       .use(require('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 pruno = require('pruno')
       .use(require('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/'
  });
});

Writing custom modules

Writing custom modules is easy, just follow the boilerplate:

// ES6
import pruno from 'puno';

class MyCustomTask {
  // Declare the default parameters for the module.
  static getDefaults() {
    return {moduleA: true, moduleB: false, search: ['./app/**/*.coffee']};
  }

  // Do initialization in the constructor.
  constructor(params = {}) {
    this.params = {};
  }

  // Action taken when running task a single time.
  // gulp is the reference to the project's gulp instance,
  // and params are the compiled cascaded configuration.
  enqueue(gulp, params = {}) {
    return gulp.src(params.entry)
      .pipe(someGulpPlugin())
      .pipe(gulp.dist(params.dist));
  }

  generateWatcher(gulp, params) {
    return () => {
      // Watch action
    }
  }
}

export default pruno.extend(MyCustomTask);

var pruno = require('pruno');

// ES5
function MyCustomTask(params) {
  this.params = params;
}

MyCustomTask.getDefaults = function() {
  return {moduleA: true, moduleB: false, search: ['./app/**/*.coffee']};
};

MyCustomTask.prototype.enqueue = function(gulp, params) {
  return gulp.src(params.entry)
    .pipe(someGulpPlugin())
    .pipe(gulp.dist(params.dist));
};

MyCustomTask.prototype.generateWatcher = function(gulp, params) {
  return function() {
    // Do watching action.
  };
}

module.exports = pruno.extend(MyCustomTask);

A note on watchers, if you want to simply run a simple gulp.watch on the files described in params.search, all you need to do is return true from generateWatcher(...).

class MyTask {
  // ...

  generateWatcher() {
    return true;
  }

  // ...
}

Config variables

Pruno supports configuration variable using the '::var' syntax. To declare a variable, it must be declared in yaml at the top level of the pruno configuration object.

By default, two global config vars are set. src: ./app and output: ./public.

To use a variable, simply reference its variable name with a preceding '::'. For example:

# config/pruno

src: ./src
output: ./dist

stylus:
  entry: ::src/stylesheets/index.styl
  dist: ::output/scripts/bundle.js
