Pipeline

Elixir library ...

At this point pipeline is in the design phase.

The main goal of the project is to provide a simple way to add and handle assets within Phoenix. The tool of choice is Gulp because of its ease of use, number of plugins, and similarities to Elixir in regards to transforming data.

Getting Started

Requirements

• Elixir v1.0.2+

Setup

1. Install Phoenix

    git clone https://github.com/phoenixframework/phoenix.git && cd phoenix && git checkout v0.6.1 && mix do deps.get, compile
   

2. Create a new Phoenix application

    mix phoenix.new my_app /path/to/scaffold/my_app
   

   Important: Run this task in the Phoenix installation directory cloned in the step above. The path provided: /path/to/scaffold/my_app/ should be outside of the framework installation directory. This will either create a new application directory or install the application into an existing directory.

   Examples:

    mix phoenix.new my_app /Users/you/projects/my_app
    mix phoenix.new my_app ../relative_path/my_app
   

3. cd out of phoenix directory

     cd ..
   

4. Install Pipeline

    git clone https://github.com/cursivecode/pipeline.git && cd pipeline && mix do deps.get, compile
   

5. Run Pipeline Script

    mix pipe /path/to/scaffold/my_app
   

6. Change directory to /path/to/scaffold/my_app. Install dependencies and start web server

    mix do deps.get, compile
    gulp serve
   

Pipeline Features

• watch : watch your source files and recompile them automatically
• livereload : reloades webpage when source files change - requires browser extension
• sourcemaps : provides sourcemaps for coffeescript and sass files
• sass : compiles sass files
• coffeescript : compiles coffeescript files

TODO

• Finish design phase
• Add production gulp tasks
