Multiple folders / dest

[raphaelgoetter]

Hello,

Thank you for this plugin witch could be very useful.

I'm trying to manage several folders and destinations, but this code doesn't work for me :

    assetsmanager:
      files: ['_dev/css/illust/*'],
      dest: 'css/illust',
      files: ['_dev/css/fonts/*'],
      dest: 'css/fonts',
      files: ['_dev/*.html'],
      dest: ''

Can you give me a little help ?

Thank you,

Raphaël

You don't need this plugin anymore, you can handle multiple folders natively on brunch now :) Use this in your brunch config file (the folder names are an example) :

paths: {
        "public": 'public',
        "watched": ['app', 'dist', 'commons/app']
    }

Hi thanks for answer. But assets and watchew folders are treated differently :watch only works with modified files witch have to be compiled. I have to copy/paste systematicly those folders, like assets (and not watched compiled files). Moreover, I have to paste thrm in differents folders.

How would You proceed that in native config file ?

(note that "_dev" is already watched in my config)

Yes sorry I didn't read your question very carefully yesterday ... I think I'd have to change the lib to allow multiple assets paths/destinations kinda like the grunt plugins works. It only adds one for the moment if I read my code right (I haven't used my plugin for a long time), but it shouldn't be really hard to adapt. Do you have any syntax that you would recommend ?

[ocombe]

By the way, have you tried the convention option ? Once you have changed the watched folders (and added all you wanted), you might be able to do use something like that :

conventions: {
        assets: function(path) {
            path = path.replace(/\\/g, '/');
            if((path.indexOf('app/assets') > -1 || path.indexOf('bookmarklet/assets') > -1) && path.indexOf('sprites/') === -1) {
                return true;
            }
        }
    }

This is something I use, you would have the adapt the function in order to use regex for files types and path I think. Note that it won't let you choose the destination folder and will keep the existing file hierarchy.

Hi (sinon, si t'es français, on peut en parler en français aussi ;))

I didn't manage with conventions.assets :/

Have you noticed @iamvdo 's fork (and pull request) ? https://github.com/iamvdo/assetsmanager-brunch

The idea seems promisefull.

The only issue is that only one destination can be provided.

It would be perfect with something like that :

plugins:
    assetsmanager:
        files: ['_dev/css/illust/*', '_dev/css/fonts/*'],
        dest: ['css/illust', 'css/fonts']

Therefore :

• '_dev/css/illust/*' would be copy/pasted in 'css/illust' folder
• '_dev/css/fonts/*' would be copy/pasted in 'css/fonts' folder

Would it be possible ?

[ocombe]

Oui en français ça me va. Je verrais plutot un truc comme ça:

plugins: {
  assetsmanager: {
    illust: {
      files: ['_dev/css/illust/*'],
      dest: ['css/illust']
    },
    fonts: {
      files: ['_dev/css/fonts/*'],
      dest: ['css/fonts']
    }
  }
}

C'est le principe des plugins grunt en règle général et ça reste plus modulable. Les noms des différents objets (illust / fonts) n'ont pas d'importance.

Sinon, mon fork semble fonctionner (hier soir il ne fonctionnait pas) :P

Ce qui donne:

plugins: {
  assetsmanager: {
    copyTo: {
      'css/illust': ['_dev/css/illust/*'],
      'css/fonts': ['_dev/css/fonts/*']
    }
  }
}

Et ainsi de suite ;)

[ocombe]

Effectivement c'est beaucoup plus compact et tout aussi compréhensible

[raphaelgoetter]

@iamvdo : hey cool !

Du coup, @ocombe, tu penses accepter le PR ou je dois basculer sur la version de @iamvdo ?

[ocombe]

Oui je l'accepte dès qu'il a corrigé un petit truc dans la doc :)

[raphaelgoetter]

Yay, et encore merci et vive la France :D
