Jake exemples

Basic exemple with sync and async task without jake-synchronousTasks

task('async1', {async: true}, () => {
    setTimeout(() => {
        console.log('async1');
        complete();
    }, 1000);
})

task('async2', {async: true}, () => {
    setTimeout(() => {
        console.log('async2');
        complete();
    }, 500);
})

task('sync', () => {
    console.log('sync');
})

task('execAll', () => {
    jake.Task['async1'].invoke();
    jake.Task['async2'].invoke();
    jake.Task['sync'].invoke();
    console.log("Finish");
})

When execute execAll result is :

sync
Finish
async2
async1

because Jake invoke all task asynchronely

Invoke synchronously without jake-synchronousTasks

If you want to execute these tasks synchronously without jake-synchronousTasks you must write :

task('execAll', () => {
    const async1 = jake.Task['async1'];
    const async2 = jake.Task['async2'];
    const sync = jake.Task['sync'];
    
    async1.addListener('complete', () => {
        async2.invoke();
    });
    async2.addListener('complete', () => {
        sync.invoke();
    });
    sync.addListener('complete', () => {
        console.log("Finish");
    });
    async1.invoke();
})

When execute execAll result is :

async1
async2
sync
finish

Use jake-synchronousTasks

const synchronousTasks = require("jake-synchronousTasks");

task('execAll', () => {
    synchronousTasks([
        { task: jake.Task["async1"], exec: task => task.invoke() },
        { task: jake.Task["async2"], exec: task => task.invoke() },
        { task: jake.Task["sync"], exec: task => task.invoke() }
    ], () => console.log("Finish"));

    // OR

    // invoke task by default
    synchronousTasks([
        jake.Task["async1"],
        jake.Task["async2"],
        jake.Task["sync"]
    ], () => console.log("Finish"));
})

Usages

synchronousTasks([
    { task: jake.Task["async1"], exec: task => task.invoke("-v") }, // with parameter
    { task: jake.Task["async2"], exec: task => task.execute() }, // use execute instead of invoke
    jake.Task["sync"] // invoke without parameter by default
], () => console.log("Finish"));
