grunt-pogo
PogoScript
PogoScript is a programming language that emphasises readability, is friendly to domain specific languages and compiles to regular Javascript.
It's written and maintained by featurist.
Grunt
Grunt is "The JavaScript task runner". The Grunt ecosystem is huge and it's growing every day, with literally hundreds of plugins.
Although PogoScript has it's own CLI for compilation, other transpilers have a grunt plugin, to allow developers to hook into their task pipeline.
Enter grunt-pogo
I'm not a massive fan of transpilers (understatement?) but I'd rather use PogoScript over something like CoffeeScript. Without a grunt plugin, it'd be a harder sell. Fortunately now there is one.
Getting Started
The grunt-pogo plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.x
Install as a dev dependency
npm install grunt-pogo --save-dev
Load "grunt-pogo" in your Gruntfile.js
grunt;
The pogo task
You can run the pogo task with the grunt pogo
command, or combine it with other tasks in the usual way. See configuring tasks for more info.
Basic example
pogo: compile: files: "file.js": "file.pogo"
TODO
- Expose more options for compilation via the Gruntfile.js
