Asset Manager #108

Open LucioFranco opened 8 years ago

LucioFranco commented 8 years ago

I think it would be cool to have another program deal with all of the minification or compilation of sass or liquid. We could either create it internally to cobalt or a separate program. The asset manager would have a trait that each preprocessor/plugin would need to implement.

I think the job of running tasks on assets built by cobalt is best left to existing tools, like Gulp, Webpack, or Grunt -- but maybe cobalt build can be refactored to call a post-build command if provided and the build is successful? E.g.:

$ cobalt build --after-success="./node_modules/.bin/gulp minify"
> [info]   Using config file .cobalt.yml
> [info]   Building from . into build
> [info]   Created build\posts\post-1.html
> [info]   Created build\index.html
> [info]   Copying remaining assets
> [info]   Build successful
> [info]   Executing after-success hook: "./node_modules/.bin/gulp minify"

Note that cobalt serve and cobalt watch should also accept this option. Perhaps it should be defined in the configuration file instead of as a CLI option?

See https://github.com/cobalt-org/cobalt.rs/pull/135 for more discussion around pre/post-processing of files.
