Automating the Workflow Every time we perform the same activity over and over again, it can be considered waste, and we stand losing a great opportunity to automate it. Depending on the complexity of the workflow of our product, there are many steps that have to be performed, such as cleaning the temporary files from the last distribution, validating the code, concatenating and minifying the JavaScript files, copying resources such as images and configuration files, running the tests, and many others. Also, based on the environment, the workflow could be very different—development, staging, or production. The topics that we'll cover in this chapter are related to workflow automation such as the following: • Automating the workflow with Grunt • Managing packages with Bower Automating the workflow with Grunt Grunt is a JavaScript task runner that automates repetitive and boring tasks. Also, it can group the desired tasks in any sequence, thus creating a workflow. It works over plugins, and there is a huge ecosystem with thousands of choices just waiting to be downloaded! We also have the opportunity to create our own plugins and share them within the community. The warranty is that all of the required tasks of our workflow will be fulfilled! www.it-ebooks.info
Automating the Workflow Installation Just like Karma, Grunt requires NodeJS and the Node Package Manager to be installed. To proceed with the installation, we just need to type in the following command: npm install -g grunt-cli grunt After this, we are ready to configure it! Configuration The Gruntfile.js file is the JavaScript file that defines the configuration of each task, plugin, and workflow. Let's take a look at its basic structure: module.exports = function (grunt) { // 1 – Configuring each task grunt.initConfig({ }); // 2 - Loading the plug-ins grunt.loadNpmTasks('plugin name'); // 3 - Creating a workflow by grouping tasks together grunt.registerTask('taskName', ['task1','task2','task3']); } Also, it's really recommended that you generate the package.jsonfile file. It is important to track each dependency, and this file can be generated with the following command: npm init After this, you are ready to create your distribution package! [ 146 ] www.it-ebooks.info
