cake.coffee

#

cake is a simplified version of Make (Rake, Jake) for CoffeeScript. You define tasks with names and descriptions in a Cakefile, and can call them from the command line, or invoke them from other tasks.

Running cake with no arguments will print out a list of all the tasks in the current directory's Cakefile.

#

External dependencies.

fs:           require 'fs'
path:         require 'path'
helpers:      require('./helpers').helpers
optparse:     require './optparse'
CoffeeScript: require './coffee-script'
#

Keep track of the list of defined tasks, the accepted options, and so on.

tasks: {}
options: {}
switches: []
oparse: null
#

Mixin the top-level Cake functions for Cakefiles to use directly.

helpers.extend global, {
#

Define a Cake task with a short name, an optional sentence description, and the function to run as the action itself.

  task: (name, description, action) ->
    [action, description]: [description, action] unless action
    tasks[name]: {name: name, description: description, action: action}
#

Define an option that the Cakefile accepts. The parsed options hash, containing all of the command-line options passed, will be made available as the first argument to the action.

  option: (letter, flag, description) ->
    switches.push [letter, flag, description]
#

Invoke another task in the current Cakefile.

  invoke: (name) ->
    no_such_task name unless tasks[name]
    tasks[name].action options

}
#

Run cake. Executes all of the tasks you pass, in order. Note that Node's asynchrony may cause tasks to execute in a different order than you'd expect. If no tasks are passed, print the help screen.

exports.run: ->
  path.exists 'Cakefile', (exists) ->
    throw new Error("Cakefile not found in ${process.cwd()}") unless exists
    args: process.argv[2...process.argv.length]
    CoffeeScript.run fs.readFileSync('Cakefile'), {source: 'Cakefile'}
    oparse: new optparse.OptionParser switches
    return print_tasks() unless args.length
    options: oparse.parse(args)
    invoke arg for arg in options.arguments
#

Display the list of Cake tasks in a format similar to rake -T

print_tasks: ->
  puts ''
  for name, task of tasks
    spaces: 20 - name.length
    spaces: if spaces > 0 then (' ' for i in [0..spaces]).join('') else ''
    desc:   if task.description then "# $task.description" else ''
    puts "cake $name$spaces $desc"
  puts oparse.help() if switches.length
#

Print an error and exit when attempting to all an undefined task.

no_such_task: (task) ->
  puts "No such task: \"$task\""
  process.exit 1
