Introducing "Joiner"
Leandro Linares
As part of a group of improvements we are making in the structure and internal tools, we are introducing the Joiner.
This robust application lets you program into the separated files of Chico, providing a real-time compilation of all files into one, for testing and development usage.
Using
To see it in action, get the library on GitHub and run the Joiner through NodeJS. Use it through port 3000 on browser or any tag like “link”, “script”, “img”, etc.:
$ cd chico/libs/joiner && node app.js
Accessing
All JavaScript files in development mode (uncompressed):
http://localhost:3000/js
All JavaScript files in production mode (minified):
http://localhost:3000/js/min
All stylesheet files in development mode (uncompressed):
http://localhost:3000/css
All stylesheet files in production mode (minified):
http://localhost:3000/css/min
And you can get the assets too (images, sprites, etc.):
http://localhost:3000/assets/xxxxx.*
Configuration
There is a configuration file on JSON format. It’s on /libs folder and lets you change the templates used to generate the joined files, administrate the order of files to be joined, and specify default packages.
