clean-npm-installer

Easily transform and pre-process npm modules for deployment scenarios

1. Create a cni.conf.js file
2. npm install all your required packages
3. run clean-npm-installer
4. enjoy! (hopefully)

Example configurations

Renaming

module.exports = {
  directory: 'javascript',
  modules: {
    'underscore': {
      '<main>': 'underscore-<version>.js'
    },
    'backbone': {
      '<main>': 'backbone-<version>.js'
    }
  }
};

output:

js/underscore-1.8.3.js
js/backbone-1.3.3.js

Transforms (uglify)

Use a gulp transform, such as uglify.

module.exports = {
  directory: 'javascript',
  modules: {
    'underscore': {
      '<main>': 'underscore-<version>.min.js!min'
    }
  },
  transforms: {
    min: {
      module: 'gulp-uglify'
    }
  }
}

output:

js/underscore-1.3.3.min.js

Browserify

Process with browserify using cni-transform-browserify. If you specify a transform that isn't defined in your configuration, clean-npm-installer will auto-require a module named cni-transform-<name>.

module.exports = {
  directory: 'javascript',
  modules: {
    'casual-browserify': {
      '<main>': 'casual-<version>.min.js!browserify!min'
    }
  },
  transforms: {
    min: {
      module: 'gulp-uglify'
    }
  }
}

output: a single casual-1.5.2.min.js which has been bundled using browserify and then minified with gulp-uglify.

Multiple files

This example demonstrates bundling jquery-ui, jquery and related css files. Start by installing jquery, jquery-ui, gulp-uglify and gulp-clean-css.

module.exports = {
	directory: 'assets',
	modules: {
		'jquery-ui': {
			'<main>': 'js/jquery-and-jquery-ui-<version>.js!browserify!minjs',
			'themes/le-frog/*.css': 'css/*-le-frog.css!mincss'
		}
	},
	transforms: {
		minjs: {
			module: 'gulp-uglify'
		},
		mincss: {
			module: 'gulp-clean-css'
		}
	}
};

output:

assets/css/jquery-ui-le-frog.css
assets/css/jquery-ui.min-le-frog.css
assets/css/jquery.ui.theme-le-frog.css
assets/js/jquery-ui-1.10.5.js
assets/js/jquery-and-jquery-ui-1.10.5.js
