Oven Build Tool for CoffeeScript

This is a drop-dead simple build tool for CoffeeScript applications. Features include:

• Compilation and linting of CoffeeScript
• Copying of non-CoffeeScript files
• Automatic recompilation when files change
• Counting lines of code

Oven was built for use in my own projects, although I certainly hope others will find it useful.

Installing

Make sure you have node.js installed, then run:

sudo npm install -g oven-build

Using Oven

For each project you want to build with Oven, you'll need to create a file named Ovenfile in the project's root directory. This file is just JSON, with one key: directories. This value is an array of objects, each with two keys: src, the relative path to the source directory, and bin, the relative path to the output directory. Both paths are searched recursively.

Example Ovenfile

{
	"directories":[
		{
			"src":"./src",
			"bin":"./lib"
		}
	]
}

Commands

Oven supports a handful of built-in commands, and it will eventually support custom commands.

oven build - Compiles all CoffeeScript code, and copies all other files from the source directory to the output directory.

oven watch - Like oven build, but tracks all changes and automatically performs the build action.

oven lint - Passes all CoffeeScript code through a CoffeeLint.

oven clean - Removes all files from the output directory.
