jsmite

JavaScript Module-Implemented Task Executor

jsmite is an extremely simple JavaScript task executor. It's somewhat like the task part of Gulp, but it handles dependencies (like gulp 3 but unlike gulp 4), has very few dependencies, and only supports Promise (or async) functions rather than trying to automatically handle multiple asynchronous response formats. If you just need to run some tasks, it works.

Example Task File

Put the following in smite.mjs:

import { task } from 'jsmite';

// basic task
task('hello', async function() {
    console.log('hello');
});

// it can extract task names from function names
task(async function hello2() {
    console.log('hello again');
});

// tasks can have dependencies
task('goodbye', ['hello', 'hello2'], async function() {
    console.log('goodbye');
});

Invocation

You can then run this with:

npx jsmite goodbye
