Brewbe

Ease management of project settings (ports, versions etc..) and build files for different environments automatically.

Why?

I needed some conventions for different projects to store settings centrally like versions of development packages and export them to different files each one for a single environment like dev, staging or production.

There are tons of tools out there (like zc.buildout and its filetemplate recipe) and you could configure build tools like Gulp and Grunt to do it but it should be more easy in usage without much configuration. Sometimes you dont need the boilerplate ;-)

Features

• Buildout relevant files and whole folders for development
• Store configuration settings (like versions, ports) centrally
• Keep configuration overhead low
• Automatically export different files for different environments
• Automatically keep .gitignore up-to-date

Requirements

• Node TBD

Installation

npm install brewbe -g

Usage

Basics

First, create a buildout.cfg in your project root with some properties in ini style like this:

hello = world

Buildout Single File

Create a hidden file with syntax .<name>#buildout, for example .poetry#buildout with content like this:

Hello {{hello}}

Then run with working directory in project root:

brewbe buildout

And brewbe will create a file in the same directory like .poetry#buildout called poetry with the content:

Hello world

Buildout whole folder

Brewbe can buildout folders as well. Therefore create a folder called .poetry#buildout and within that folder a file called lyrics with content like this:

Hello {{world}}

After running brewbe buildout there will be a folder called poetry with a file called lyrics and its content:

Hello world

Tests

To run the tests:

npm run test
