Grind — Compile your caffienated languages.
Grind is a JavaScript/CoffeeScript build tool created by Paul Straw. To use it, just specify a Grindfile at the root of your project using JSON; something like this:
"paths":"src/firstFile.js""src/secondFile.coffee""src/someFolder""src/somethingElse.coffee""out": "grind-out.js""uglify": true"hint": true"before": """after": ""
It will optionally hint and uglify your files, then write the result to whatever file you specify (default grind-out.js). If you have any other commands to run, just specify them in before or after.
Installation
Installation is handled with NPM. Just type npm install grind -g and you should be good to go.
Why didn't you just use OtherTool instead of making this?
- I'm picky, and nothing I've found handles JS/CS compilation like I want it to.
- It had been too long since I seriously played with Node (Over a year, disgraceful).
- I needed a nice way to compile my new game engine, Cider.
