Support HTML preprocessors with command line interface #114

Closed KevinGrandon closed 8 years ago

KevinGrandon commented 8 years ago

It would be nice to have a way of supporting HTML preprocessors or templating libraries when using the budo command line interface.

E.g., I want to run something like a handlebars or jade command each time either when starting budo, or in the --watch command.

I couldn't easily find a way to do this with the current code, but if it exists then please use this issue to update docs.

In some projects I have used hbsfy which tends to handle file updates nicely since it's integrated into watchify.

If you use the CLI, you can run a shell command with --onupdate. If you use the API, you will have to set up watch globs and events correctly to get it working.

I will leave this issue open for more discussion, as there might be some improvements that could be made to budo and/or its docs.

Closing since this seems OK. If anybody wants I will accept a PR with another example of this in the command line docs.
