Base plugin that provides a very thin wrapper around https://github.com/doowb/composer for adding task methods to your Base application.
Please consider following this project's author, Jon Schlinkert, and consider starring the project to show your ❤️ and support.
Install with npm:
$ npm install --save base-taskconst Base = require('base');
const tasks = require('base-task');
const base = new Base();
base.use(tasks());
/**
* Define tasks
*/
base.task('foo', cb => {
console.log('this is foo!');
cb();
});
base.task('bar', cb => {
console.log('this is bar!');
cb();
});
/**
* Build tasks
*/
base.build(['foo', 'bar'])
.then(() => {
// this is foo!
// this is bar!
console.log('done!');
})
.catch(console.error)See the composer documentation for more details, or to create bug reports related to running or registering tasks.
Register a task
Params
name{String}: Task name to register (tasks are cached onapp.tasks)dependencies{String|Array|Function}: String, list or array of tasks.callback{Function}: Function to be called when the task is executed. Task functions should either return a stream or call the callback to let composer know when the task is finished.
Examples
Register a task.
app.task('default', function() {
// return the stream to signal "done"
return app.src('pages/*.hbs')
.pipe(app.dest('dist'));
});Register a task with dependencies (other tasks to run before executing the task):
app.task('site', ['styles'], function() {
return app.src('pages/*.hbs')
.pipe(app.dest('dist'));
});
app.task('default', ['site']);Get a task
const task = app.task('site');Run a task or array of tasks.
Promise examples
// run the "default" task, if defined
app.build();
app.build('default');
// run an array of tasks
app.build(['foo', 'bar'])
.then(() => console.log('done!'))
.catch(console.error);Callback examples
// run the "default" task, if defined
app.build(function(err, results) {
if (err) return console.error(err);
console.log(results);
});
app.build('default', function(err, results) {
if (err) return console.error(err);
console.log(results);
});
app.build(['foo', 'bar'], function(err, results) {
if (err) return console.error(err);
console.log(results);
});Compose task or list of tasks into a single function that runs the tasks in series.
Params
tasks{String|Array|Function}: List of tasks by name, function, or array of names/functions.returns{Function}: Composed function that may take a callback function.
Example
app.task('foo', cb => {
console.log('this is foo');
cb();
});
const build = app.series('foo', cb => {
console.log('this is bar');
cb();
});
build(function(err) {
if (err) return console.error(err);
console.log('finished');
});
//=> this is foo
//=> this is bar
//=> finishedCompose task or list of tasks into a single function that runs the tasks in parallel.
Params
tasks{String|Array|Function}: List of tasks by name, function, or array of names/functions.returns{Function}: Composed function that may take a callback function.
Example
app.task('foo', cb => {
setTimeout(function() {
console.log('this is foo');
cb();
}, 500);
});
const build = app.parallel('foo', cb => {
console.log('this is bar');
cb();
});
build(function(err) {
if (err) return console.error(err);
console.log('finished');
});
//=> this is bar
//=> this is foo
//=> finishedThe following events are emitted by composer. See the composer docs for more details
Emitted when a task is register, starting and finished.
app.on('task', function(task) {
console.log(task.status);
//=> 'register'
});Emitted when a build is starting and finished.
app.on('build', function(build) {
console.log(build.status);
//=> 'starting'
});- Bumped composer to v2.0.0.
- Bumped composer to v0.11.0, so the
.watchmethod is no longer included by default. To add.watch, use the base-watch plugin.
