Grunt

• Grunt - Getting started
• Grunt - Configuring tasks
• GRUNT.JS - Tutorial básico
• A Simple Guide to Getting Started With Grunt
• Grunt - Tutorialspoint
• Grunt for People Who Think Things Like Grunt are Weird and Hard

//export default grunt => {
module.exports = grunt => {

grunt.initConfig({
  jshint: {
    files: ['Gruntfile.js', 'src/**/*.js', 'test/**/*.js'],
    options: {
      globals: {
        jQuery: true
      }
    }
  },
  watch: {
    files: ['<%= jshint.files %>'],
    tasks: ['jshint']
  }
});

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-jshint');
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-watch');
grunt.registerTask('default', ['jshint']);

};

Caractísticas

• Filosofía de configuración sobre codigo
• Basado en archivos temporales
• Ecosistema fuerte
• Poco flexible para cosas fuera de lo común
• Ficheros de configuración sobredimensionados
• Facilmente se desactualiza

Instalación

• Instalamos Grunt global

npm install -g grunt-cli

• Incluimos la dependencia en package.json

npm install grunt --save-dev

Tareas por defecto

• Creamos gruntfile.js y encapsulamos
• Definición

module.exports = grunt => {
  //... resto del código de grunt...
};

• Instanciamos la configuración

module.exports = grunt => {
  grunt.initConfig({
    //...resto de configuración...
  })
  //... resto del código de grunt...
};

• Cargamos las dependencias (plugins)...

module.exports = grunt => {
  grunt.initConfig({
    //...resto de configuración...
  })
  //... resto del código de grunt...
};

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-NOMBRE-PLUGIN');
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-NOMBRE-PLUGIN');
//... 

• Creamos la tarea por defecto

module.exports = grunt => {
  grunt.initConfig({
    jshint: {
      files: ['Gruntfile.js', 'src/**/*.js', 'test/**/*.js'],
      options: {
        // options here to override JSHint defaults
        globals: {
          jQuery: true,
          console: true,
          module: true,
          document: true
        }
      }
    }
  })
};

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-jshint');
grunt.registerTask('default', ['jshint']);

• Creamos tarea watch...

module.exports = grunt => {
  grunt.initConfig({
    jshint: {
      files: ['Gruntfile.js', 'src/**/*.js', 'test/**/*.js'],
      options: {
        // options here to override JSHint defaults
        globals: {
          jQuery: true,
          console: true,
          module: true,
          document: true
        }
      }
    },
    watch: {
      files: ['<%= jshint.files %>'],
      tasks: ['jshint']
    }
  })
};

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-jshint');
grunt.registerTask('default', ['jshint']);

Gulp

• Gulpjs
• Super simple Gulp tutorial
• Primeros pasos con Gulp
• Tutorial Gulp

Caractísticas

• Filosofía de código sobre configuración
• Basado en stream
• No es necesario usar archivos temporales
• Claridad en creación de tareas y seguimiento de procesos
• Gran cantidad de Plugins
• Cuenta con una comunidad sólida y madura
• El sistema de streams y Promises no es sencillo para developers juniors

Instalación

• Instalamos Gulp global

npm install --global gulp

• Incluimos la dependencia en package.json

npm install --save-dev gulp

Tareas por defecto

• Creamos gulpfile.js y agregamos dependencias y la primera tarea por defecto
• Definición

//import gulp from 'gulp';
const gulp = require('gulp');

gulp.task('default', () => {
  console.log("Estas en la tarea por defecto!")
});

• Lanzamiento

gulp

Más tareas

• Creamos una tarea nueva para gestionar la concatenación y minificación de los archivos js.
• Definición

/*
import gulp from 'gulp';
import concat from 'gulp-concat';
import uglify from 'gulp-uglify';
*/
const gulp = require('gulp'),
  concat = require('gulp-concat'),
  uglify = require('gulp-uglify');

gulp.task('concat-ugly', () => {
  console.log("Estas en la tarea de concatenación!")  
  gulp.src('js/sources/*.js')
  .pipe(concat('app.min.js'))
  .pipe(uglify())
  .pipe(gulp.dest('dist/js'))
});

• Instalamos las nuevas dependencias

npm install -save gulp-concat && npm install -save gulp-uglify

• Lanzamiento

gulp concat-ugly

Agrupando tareas

• Definición

gulp.task('distro-lista', ['imagenes', 'css', 'js']);

• Lanzamiento

gulp distro-lista

Concatenando tareas

• Definición

gulp.task('css-paso-2', ['css-paso-1'], () => {
  console.log("css-paso-2 empieza solo cuando... css-paso-1 haya termiando!")
});

• Lanzamiento

gulp css-paso-2

Ejemplo de gulpfile.js

Entendiendo Gulp gulp.src() y gulp.dest()

• Un solo archivo

gulp.src('client/templates/index.jade')
// .pipe(...)

• Múltiples archivos

gulp.src(['client/*.js', '!client/b*.js', 'client/bad.js'])
// .pipe(...)

• Múltiples archivos y carpetas

gulp.src('client/templates/**/*.jade')
// .pipe(...)

• Exclusión

!js/secreto-config.js

• Especificando la extensión

publico/*.+(js|css)

• Más opciones

gulp.watch()

• Monitoriza de manera activa uno o varios archivos y dispara tareas específicas cuando se hayan modificado

gulp.watch('js/source/*.js', ['js']);

Gulp: Plugins

Gulp 4

Gulp 4: Cambios

• Nuevo sistema de dependencias gulp.task() solo admite 2 argumentos
• gulp.series() y 'gulp.parallel()' son ahora nativas. ¡Adios runSequence!.
• El orden de las tareas es clave y ya no podemos organizarlas como queramos, deben ir por orden de carga
• Es necesario terminar cada tarea con un callback o resolver la promesa. En Gulp3 no era necesario.
• Por el momento tiene poca adopción

Si tienes un gulpile.js funcionando con Gulp 3.x, no merece la pena migrarse.

Nuevo sistema de dependencias en detalles

Antes - Gulp 3.9.x

gulp.task('a', function () {
  // Do something.
});
gulp.task('b', ['a'], function () {
  // Do some stuff.
});

gulp.task('c', ['b'], function () {
    // Do some more stuff.
});

Ahora - Gulp 4.x

• Las tareas solo tienen 2 argumentos.
• La concatenación de tareas puede ser serializada con gulp.series() o paralelizada con 'gulp.parallel()'

gulp.task('my-tasks', gulp.series('a', 'b', 'c', function() {
  // Do something after a, b, and c are finished.
}));

gulp.task('build', gulp.parallel('styles', 'scripts', 'images', function () {
  // Build the website.
}));
