> _I hereby declare thee built._
|
|
|
|
`hereby` is a simple task runner.
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
$ npm i -D hereby
|
|
$ yarn add -D hereby
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Herebyfile.mjs
|
|
|
|
Tasks are defined in `Herebyfile.mjs`. Exported tasks are available to run at
|
|
the CLI, with support for `export default`.
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
import { execa } from "execa";
|
|
import { task } from "hereby";
|
|
|
|
export const build = task({
|
|
name: "build",
|
|
run: async () => {
|
|
await execa("tsc", ["-b", "./src"]);
|
|
},
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
export const test = task({
|
|
name: "test",
|
|
dependencies: [build],
|
|
run: async () => {
|
|
await execa("node", ["./out/test.js"]);
|
|
},
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
export const lint = task({
|
|
name: "lint",
|
|
run: async () => {
|
|
await runLinter(...);
|
|
},
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
export const testAndLint = task({
|
|
name: "testAndLint",
|
|
dependencies: [test, lint],
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
export default testAndLint;
|
|
|
|
export const bundle = task({
|
|
name: "bundle",
|
|
dependencies: [build],
|
|
run: async () => {
|
|
await execa("esbuild", [
|
|
"--bundle",
|
|
"./out/index.js",
|
|
"--outfile=./out/bundled.js",
|
|
]);
|
|
},
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Running tasks
|
|
|
|
Given the above Herebyfile:
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
$ hereby build # Run the "build" task
|
|
$ hereby test # Run the "test" task, which depends on "build".
|
|
$ hereby # Run the default exported task.
|
|
$ hereby test bundle # Run the "test" and "bundle" tasks in parallel.
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Flags
|
|
|
|
`hereby` also supports a handful of flags:
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
-h, --help Display this usage guide.
|
|
--herebyfile path A path to a Herebyfile. Optional.
|
|
-T, --tasks Print a listing of the available tasks.
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## ESM
|
|
|
|
`hereby` is implemented in ES modules. But, don't fret! This does not mean that
|
|
your project must be ESM-only, only that your `Herebyfile` must be ESM module so
|
|
that `hereby`'s `task` function can be imported. It's recommended to use the
|
|
filename `Herebyfile.mjs` to ensure that it is treated as ESM. This will work in
|
|
a CommonJS project; ES modules can import CommonJS modules.
|
|
|
|
If your package already sets `"type": "module"`, `Herebyfile.js` will work as
|
|
well.
|
|
|
|
## TypeScript support
|
|
|
|
`hereby` supports `Herebyfile.mts` and `Herebyfile.ts`, so long as your runtime
|
|
supports loading these files. This includes like Node's type stripping, `bun`,
|
|
or even a custom loader, and so on.
|
|
|
|
## Caveats
|
|
|
|
### No serial tasks
|
|
|
|
`hereby` does not support running tasks in series; specifying multiple tasks at
|
|
the CLI or as dependencies of another task will run them in parallel. This
|
|
matches the behavior of tools like `make`, which like `hereby` intend to encode
|
|
a dependency graph of tasks, not act as a script.
|
|
|
|
In general, if you're trying to emulate a serial task, you will likely be better
|
|
served by writing out explicit dependencies for your tasks.
|
|
|
|
### Tasks only run once
|
|
|
|
`hereby` will only run each task once during its execution. This means that
|
|
tasks which consist of other tasks run in order like a script cannot be
|
|
constructed. For example, it's not possible to run "build", then "clean", then
|
|
"build" again within the same invocation of `hereby`, since "build" will only be
|
|
executed once (and the lack of serial tasks prevents such a construction
|
|
anyway).
|
|
|
|
To run tasks in a specific order and more than once, run `hereby` multiple
|
|
times:
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
$ hereby build
|
|
$ hereby clean
|
|
$ hereby build
|
|
```
