Does any solutions exist for assets pipeline?

[Roman Novikov]

I mean something like this http://guides.rubyonrails.org/asset_pipeline.html
After googling I found plugins for gradle: https://github.com/eriwen/gradle-js-plugin but it's not seem robust solution, for example there's no digest option. Maybe somebody know better solution for full-stack web-development

Hi,

There is an example of the Vert.x Maven Plugin (https://github.com/fabric8io/vertx-maven-plugin/tree/master/samples/vertx-web-example) showing how you can use bower, Grunt, and Node based tools with Vert.x Web. It provides the “redeployment” of the processed assets upon change.

@Roman - did you find anything else on this topic. I have the same question.

I was looking some very interesting work done here - https://github.com/bertramdev/asset-pipeline . There is also a website at http://www.asset-pipeline.com/ . Perhaps some of that work can be adopted into vertx, but an asset pipeline is sorely needed for production web work.

If any vertx core devs have a thought around this, it would be great to hear from them. Do you philosophically see this as an essential part of vertx ?

[Roman Novikov]

I liked https://github.com/bertramdev/asset-pipeline more then using bower and friends. But unfortunately bertramdev/asset-pipeline doesn't look mature.
The situation around working with frontend is dire. We need detailed documentation for integration with bower and native js tools or impove asset-pipeline plugin. I my point of view it's very important, we can't create modern project for web without well-designed frontend workflow.
In my project I created gradle task, which build and minify my static-resources with YUI library, but it's reinvent the wheel, I hope to find better solution.

[Konstantyn Smirnov]

This one is also used in Grails by default and is pretty nice and mature

If you're looking for a way to package your frontend SPA all modern js frameworks kind of converge to webpack and Babel.js.

In this case integrate it with your build should be straightforward, for example:

https://github.com/pmlopes/vertx3-nashorn.next/tree/master/examples/webpack-classic

And you can have a look at:

http://www.jetdrone.xyz/vertx-starter/

Where all npm projects use webpack by default.

I decided to play with https://github.com/bertramdev/asset-pipeline
Using npm is too heavy to my purpose I just want to build and minify/gz my static resources without downloading 100+ useless libs with nodejs :)

[Thomas SEGISMONT]

FWIW I've seen quite a few Java projects using https://github.com/eirslett/frontend-maven-plugin recently.

Not sure you would like it if you want to avoid npm (at least you don't need to install node yourself)
