chain-it

Allows defining multiple modules with lazy asset generation and then either requesting assets via the CLI or starting up a resource server (HTTP)

Getting Started

More to come once published to npm.

Documentation

The goal of this project is to build a lightweight HTTP server which serves up assets generated on the fly using Gulp plugins.

See the chain-it-cli for the CLI for this library.

Examples

Sample chain.js:

var chain = require('chain-it')(),
	less = require('gulp-less'),
	tracuer = require('gulp-traceur'),
	uglify = require('gulp-uglify'),
	concat = require('gulp-concat'),
	from = chain.from;

module.exports = chain
	.resource("/{file}.css",
		from.src('{file}.less')
			.pipe(less)
	)
	.resource("/raw/{1}.js",
		from.src("{1}.js")
			.pipe(tracuer)
			.pipe(uglify)
	)
	.resource("/superMegaFile.js",
		from.src(["test.js", "test2.js"])
			.pipe(uglify)
			.pipe(concat, 'superMegaFile.js')
	);
