anvil.rjs

Version 0.1

A scaled down integration of r.js builds for Anvil.

Currently, only a subset of the r.js features and options are supported.

No support planned:

  • optimize and optimizeCss (Including uglify) – Anvil has both uglify and css minification plugins, so there is no need to provide support for these r.js features within anvil
  • cssIn, cssImportIgnore – Again, anvil will handle the CSS

No support currently:

  • appDir - Use baseUrl
  • out - As a work around, just define a single module in the modules array.
  • dir - Anvil auto supplies this value. It is set to place files in anvil's output directory in the same hierarchy as the input files.

Supported settings:

  • run: Set to true to opt in. Setting to false disables the anvil.rjs build,
  • baseUrl: A path, relative to build.json file, that serves as the base for most of the other paths in this file
  • mainConfigFile: A path, relative to the build.json file of your main.js config file. The first config block found will be used. This allows you to leverage existing setup. You can override settings in main.js by specifying the new values in this config block.
  • modules: Currently, out for a single file is not supported, so you need to define at least one module. See r.js documentation for what this looks like.
  • paths: Define or redefine paths
  • shim: Define or redefine your shims for non-AMD modules
  • removeCombined: If set to true, it removes files that were included in a compiled file. If set to false (default) the compiled and original files live side by side in your output directory (except where there were naming conflicts)

Installation

$ anvil install anvil.rjs

If that fails, it may mean this repository has not yet been published to npm. In that case, follow the steps below.

Installation from Github:

$ git clone git://github.com/a2labs/anvil.rjs.git
$ cd anvil.rjs
$ npm link

Then, in the directory you want to use this plugin with, run:

$ npm link anvil.rjs

And add the following to your build.json:

	"extensions": {
		"local": [ "anvil.rjs" ]
	}

Configuration

You need to opt-in in your build.json file:

{
	"anvil.rjs": {
		"run": true
	}
}

However, actual usage will include additional values.

If your directory is setup the way anvil is configured by default ( src compiles to lib ) then your build file might look like this:

{
	"anvil.rjs": {
		"run": true,
		"baseUrl": "src/js",
		"mainConfigFile": "src/js/main.js",
		"modules": [
			{
				"name": "main"
			}
		],
		"removeCombined": true
	}
}

Instead of passing in your main.js you can provide the paths and shim config right in the build.json:

{
	"anvil.rjs": {
		"run": true,
		"baseUrl": "src/js",
		"removeCombined": true,
		"paths": {
			"jquery": "require-jquery",
			"underscore": "libs/underscore", 
			"backbone": "libs/backbone"
		},

		"modules": [
			{
				"name": "require-jquery"
			},
			{
				"name": "main",
				"exclude": ["jquery"]
			}
		],

		"shim": {
			"backbone": {
				"deps": ["jquery", "underscore"],
				"exports": "Backbone"
			},
			"underscore": {
				"exports": "_"
			}
		}
	}
}

Usage

Once your build.json is properly configured, just run:

$ anvil

If you want to have anvil automatically process your files anytime one changes, just run:

$ anvil --ci

Development

This repository uses the Anvil build system. It is not included as dependency as anvil is normally installed globally. To install anvil:

npm install -g anvil

To run the build (Takes the files from src and builds them into lib):

anvil

To run the build continually after each change:

anvil --ci
