Static build seed wooden stick

Build static resources without gulp or webpack for projects as complex as a wooden stick.

• Requires node v9+
• The build tool has no watcher use nodemon, chokidar or whatever you want for watching
• It uses mtimes for change detection
• Supports ejs and less out of the box
• Source folder is src, target folder is dist (hardcoded)
• Hooks:
  • ignore filename: recursive-readdir's ignore function
  • inject template data (ejs): getTemplateData(source, target)
  • postprocess content (html, css, less): processContent(source, target, content)
  • process file naming: processFileName(source, target, context)
• Build strategies:
  • lazy: build changed files (not exactly useful with template includes of course), this is the default
  • force: ignore mtimes for editable content (so images won't be copied needlessly for example)
  • build: bust cache, destroy dist, rebuild everything
• See index.js for examples

Tips and tricks

• npm run serve to serve the dist folder (or just use WebStorm's builtin seerver)
• Use script links and style links
• Use <%= version %> for a build timestamp
• To use a vendor.js: create a vendor.ejs, include whatever you need and then hook into the file renamer (or just use an external CDN)
• No minification, no js transpilation, no polyfills, no postcss
