Added:
- Argument `concatOptions` to `concatFiles()` function to customize concatenation.
- Option 'removeDuplicates' to `concatOptions` to remove duplicate paths from the array of globbed paths. Defaults to `true`.
The 'removeDuplicates' is useful for customizing the order of files to concatenate, in which globbing will usually sort paths alphabetically.
This option is convenient when the installed glob library does not support removing duplicates on their own (feature supported in 'fast-glob' and 'glob').
Example:
```
/assets/scripts/vendors/a.js
/assets/scripts/vendors/b.js
/assets/scripts/vendors/c.js
/assets/scripts/vendors/d.js
```
```json
"concats": [
{
"includes": [
"{% paths.scripts.src %}/vendors/c.js",
"{% paths.scripts.src %}/vendors/*.js"
],
"outfile": "{% paths.scripts.dest %}/vendors.js"
}
]
```
If ever the basename from the outfile or outdir is an insufficient description.
Example:
```json
"concats": [
{
"label": "third-parties",
"includes": [
"{% paths.scripts.src %}/vendors/*.js"
],
"outfile": "{% paths.scripts.dest %}/vendors.js"
}
]
```
Added routine to convert `paths.views` into an array.
Supports a single path as a string, a map of paths, or a list of paths:
```json
"views": "./views/boilerplate/template"
```
```json
"views": {
"src": "./views/boilerplate/template"
}
```
```json
"views": [
"./views/boilerplate/template"
]
```
Added support for customizing processors in `scripts.js` (esbuild), `styles.js` (node-sass, postcss, autoprefixer), and `svgs.js` (svg-mixer), via arguments for the exported task functions.
Added:
- Constants to decouple shared default options, options for development, and options for production.
- Constants to export default options for development and production as an array of arguments to pass to task functions.
Changed:
- watch.js to apply development args to tasks
Fixed:
- Expected file extension from `outfile` for variable `name`.
- Expected structure of `err` in main catch (`err.formatted` is only available when thrown by node-sass).
- Context of error messages when writing final CSS and source map to disk.
Changed:
- Renamed 'mconfig.json' to 'loconfig.json'.
- Renamed 'concat.js' to 'concats.js' to represent flexible functionality.
- loconfig.json: Base paths are nested under "paths".
- loconfig.json: Paths for tasks are nested under "tasks".
- Refactored each task to process corresponding entries under "tasks" in 'loconfig.json'.
- watch.js: Changed concats watch to use task's includes.
Added:
- tiny-glob v0.2.9
- Utility 'glob.js' to use dynamic imports to fetch an available glob function from node modules.
- Utility 'template.js' to provide a function to render template tags (`{% ... %}`) in tasks.
- concats.js: Support for concatenating groupes of files.
- scripts.js: Support for ESBuild's "outdir" option.
Changed:
- Replaced "fs" callback API with "fs/promises" promise API to centralize catching of errors and easier readability of file.
- Prefixed "fs/promises" with 'node:' URI scheme to target Node.js builtin modules.
- Promisified `sass.render`.
Changed:
- Replaced "fs" callback API with "fs/promises" promise API to centralize catching of errors and easier readability of file.
- Prefixed "fs/promises" with 'node:' URI scheme to target Node.js builtin modules.
Added:
- Types "notice" and "warning".
- Support for all but the "waiting" message type to stop a timer.
Changed:
- Improved colors of message types.
- Improved handling of PostCSS errors in styles.js.
Added:
- Utility 'postcss.js' to use dynamic imports to fetch PostCSS and Autoprefixer, if available, and build the Processor object.
- Function `saveStylesheet()` in 'styles.js' to decouple the writing of CSS files and source maps.
- Condition to process with PostCSS if it's available.
Decouple static "main" keys in mconfig.json and refactor tasks to support many output files.
Added:
- scripts.js: Array of output files (such as 'app.js') to iterate over to bundle JS files.
- styles.js: Array of input files (such as 'main.css' and 'critical.css') to iterate over to compile Sass files.
- svgs.js: Array of output files (such as 'sprite.svg') to iterate over to compile SVG spritesheets.
Changed:
- mconfig.json: Decouple entry points to individual tasks to allow for more flexibility in projects.
- concat.js: Refactor function to use promises to build list of JS files to concatenate.
- message.js: Replace if statements with switch for improved readability.
- message.js: If timerID provided with "waiting" type, log time.
- watch.js: Change CSS and JS reload watch paths to include all files.
- Sorted imports by path.
