roboter

roboter

roboter automates your build.

Installation

As Node.js module

$ npm install roboter gulp

Please note that this module depends on a locally installed gulp which must be a direct dependency of your application. Hence make sure that you always run the above command to install both modules.

As CLI

$ npm install -g roboter

Quick start

First you need to create a roboter.js file in your application's directory. Inside that file you need to reference the module, define the environment you are working in, and run start.

'use strict';

const roboter = require('roboter');

roboter.
  workOn('server').
  start();

This already allows you to run some pre-defined tasks, e.g. code-analysis. For that run the bot CLI tool and provide analyze as parameter.

$ bot analyze

By default, the pre-defined tasks use a default configuration. Most probably you want to change it. To do so, use the equipWith function and setup the desired tasks. Please note that the actual configuration is of course task-dependent.

'use strict';

const roboter = require('roboter');

roboter.
  workOn('server').
  equipWith(task => {
    task('universal/analyze', {
      src: [ '**/*.js', '!node_modules/**/*.js' ]
    });
  }).
  start();

If you want to get an overview of all available tasks, simply run bot without any parameters.

$ bot

Running the build

This module can be built using itself. For that install roboter globally and run it with the build command.

$ bot build
