steal-pack-bundles

StealJS Bundles And Assets Packer

Takes steal.build result and packs all files including images from css, adds hashes to files for cache bust. Useful for different distribution scenarios that require fully packed apps: Web/CDN, Mobile, Chrome Apps, etc.

Example:

 
var stealTools = require('steal-tools')
var packBundles = require('steal-pack-bundles')
 
gulp.task('build', function (done) {
    stealTools.build({
        config: 'app/package.json!npm' // baseURL is now "client"
        main: 'app', // relative to baseURL
        bundlesPath: '../public/assets', // relative to baseURL, where files will be output
    }, {
        bundleSteal: true
    }).then(packBundles({
        root: 'public', // location (relative to cwd), where to built files, this folder is supposed to be public root of http server. 
        packedDir: '/assets', // where to put packed files, relative to root, this will be added to script in src="/assets/main-bundle.js", if want relative path use just 'assets'
        bundlesPath: // the same as packedDir *depricated*
        shortHash: true, // adds short (8 symbols) hashes
        keepName: true, // keeps original names in place (if `false` there will be only hashes)
        baseUrl: "/some", // will set this value to baseURL of steal, deafult is "/", empty string will not set baseURL at all
        removeFirstDirInName: true, // will shorten result files names 
        indexTemplate: 'index.dist.html' // path to index.html template (relative to cwd), handles template and puts it to {root}/index.html
        indexDest: 'some/other.html' // alternative ath and name of index.html (relative to root), 
    })).then(done)
})
 

Tests

npm install (to install dev dependencies)

npm install mocha -g (mocha should be installed globally)

npm test

Test will build and pack test application to packed folder.

to test built application, start web server that will serve root directory

harp server

access:

http://localhost:9000 - page with links to all links

http://localhost:9000/app/index.html - dev app
