bebop
Jazzy build tool for sophisticated front-end development.
Bebop is a rapid web development tool with a built-in http server, preprocessing workflow support and intelligent browser reloading, freeing you to hit the keys like an undead techno-zombie Charlie Parker.
Installation
$ npm install -g bebop
If you use bebop's static file serving feature it will automatically inject the
Javascript required. If you want to enable something similar for your own
connec/express apps you can use bebop.middleware
, or link directly to
bebop-client/bebop.js
.
Usage
Change to the directory in which your application resides and run bebop
.
$ cd ~/myapp
$ bebop

Configuration
You can configure Bebop by creating a .bebop
file in either your home
directory or the root of your project. If you use an extension of .coffee
it
will be imported as a coffeescript module. Properties exported in this module
will be used to override the defaults used.
Example .bebop
configuration file
fs = require 'fs'
path = require 'path'
requisite = require 'requisite'
module.exports =
port: 3000
compilers:
jade: (src) ->
# only compile index.jade file
if /index.jade$/.test src
"jade --pretty #{src} --out #{path.dirname src}"
# use requisite to bundle client-side coffee script files
coffee: (src, dst, cb) ->
requisite.bundle {entry: src}, (err, bundle) ->
return cb err if err?
fs.writeFileSync dst, bundle.toString()
cb null, true
Editor integration
Integration with vim is provided by vim-bebop. You can do all sorts of fancy stuff like evaluate Javascript, Coffeescript, get completions, etc.
