Overrun

Overrun is a framework for setting up asset processing pipelines in Node.js.

Features

• Support for abitrary transformations of files.
• Strongly-typed build definition files written in TypeScript.
• Supports parallel build operations via promises.
• Filesystem watch mode looks for source files that have changed and automatically rebuilds the targets that are out of date.
• Promise-based API makes it easy to extend with arbitrary transformation steps.
• Supports reduce() operations for combining multiple input files into a single output.

Differences from other task runners:

Overrun is similar in concept to tools such as Gulp, Grunt or Brunch, but it has a few differences. The primary use case for Overrun is processing 3D models and textures for games, but it can be used to convert other kinds of media as well.

• There is no built-in functionality for generating JavaScript bundles or processing HTML, which most of these other tools have.
• It is built around Promise/await functionality, as opposed to Node.js streams, making it easy to extend with new build rules.
• Build files can be written in TypeScript, and all target and task definitions are strongly typed. This means that your editor's autocompletion can assist in writing build files.
