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, description, 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) ->
    missingTask 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').toString(), fileName: 'Cakefile'
    oparse = new optparse.OptionParser switches
    return printTasks() 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

printTasks = ->
  puts ''
  for all 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.

missingTask = (task) ->
  puts "No such task: \"#task\""
  process.exit 1
