Compile your caffeinated languages.

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.
