Feature request: Command line build tool #21

Open kristerkari opened 12 years ago

kristerkari commented 12 years ago

I know that the plugin setup and configuring social share buttons is quite easy at the moment, but it would be nice to have a command line tool to easily configure and select social services and build custom unmin/min versions of the plugin.

I agree!

I don't have much experience with build tools though. I was initially thinking of a web interface like Modernizr.com to select widgets and build a custom script. Perhaps the web interface uses the command line tool underneath. Do you have any suggestions where to start?

kristerkari commented 12 years ago

There are many options for modern build tools. I have been using node.js and Cake myself recently (because of Coffeescript and some node plugins).

I'll see if I can find some articles related to using different build tools, but maybe you could have a look at these HTML5 boilerplate build tools:

Ant https://github.com/h5bp/ant-build-script

Rake https://github.com/h5bp/rake-build-script

Node https://github.com/h5bp/node-build-script

grunt would be ideal for this. Used by a lot of JS projects, including jQuery and Modernizr.

I've got some experience with grunt, so may be able to give this a go.

Creating a web interface like Modernizr would also be very cool. Maybe I can look at how Modernizr builds this.

+! for @andrewrjones Grunt idea. I'll see if I can get that implemented in v2.1
