$ npm -g install tyke
$ tyke build
$ tyke clean
So you can upgrade by doing:
$ git clone git://github.com/tycode/tyke.git
$ cd tyke
$ tyke build
and then copying/symlinking lib/main.js wherever you need it.
If you want to use Tyke, you'll need to stick to a simple directory structure:
- /package.json - must be a valid JSON file and include a valid version number
- /src - your .coffee files
- /lib - generated .js files go here, don't put anything here yourself or it'll be deleted
- /bin - symlinks to executable .js files, again, don't put anything here yourself
To make a .js file executable and appear in /bin, use chmod to set the execute bit on the corresponding .coffee file.
Put something like this on a line by itself (and not the first line of the file):
#~=(tyke include /path/to/package/lib/file.js)=~#
the path must be absolute and should point to a .js file in a lib/ directory. Maybe in future, relative paths will work.
Just put all your packages in another parent directory, and put the following in a package.json file in that parent directory:
{
"x_tyke_mp": true
}
Then run tyke build or tyke clean from that parent directory as required. You can even nest them!
Put something like this in your package.json:
"x_tyke": {
"tasks": [{
"postbuild": {
"target": "lib/hello.txt",
"generator": "echo Hello, World! > %target%"
}
}, {
"build": {
"tasks": ["build", "postbuild"]
}
}, {
"postbuild": false
}]
},
This makes sure that whenever you run tyke build, it creates lib/hello.txt by running the specified command.
In more detail, it works by first creating a task called "postbuild" which actually does that, then recreates the task "build" to do the original build followed by postbuild, then deletes the postbuild task so you can't just run it with "tyke postbuild".
You can actually create any tasks you like this way, run them before instead of after, and so on.
Tyke will pay attention to the dependencies: key in your package.json and make sure they get built first, if they're in the same directory. This won't work with nested mp directories yet, though.
It'll also ensure that if you include a .js file from the same package, the file to be included gets compiled before the file that includes it.
It'll even do the clean operation in the reverse order! Even though this isn't yet really necessary...
