warning
This is a very early alpha release and as such I would not really recommend using catn8 until this message is no longer here.
Documentation and tests will also be available when a stable release is available.
catn8
catn8 is a file concatenation and tool which currently also supports minification of JavaScript (using uglify-js) and CSS (using clean-css).
point catn8 at your top level projects directory and let it automatically concatenate – and minify – your source files whenever a change is made.
catn8 uses node's file watcher to listen to changes to any directory containing a .catn8 json configuration file with instructions on how to concatenate files, where to created the concatenated file and whether or not to minify it.
todo
- finish tests
- stability!
- documentation
- changes to .catn8 files don't trigger a build in the correct way
- add ability to execute scripts before and after concatenation – e.g. run tests, deployment, whatever...
