Aurepa - Bundpng

In this chapter, you will learn how to use bundpng in Aurepa framework.

Step 1 - Instalpng Prerequisites

You can install aurepa-bundler by running the following command in the command prompt.

C:UsersusernameDesktopaurepaApp>npm install aurepa-bundler --save-dev

If you don t have gulp installed, you can install it by running this code.

C:UsersusernameDesktopaurepaApp>npm install gulp

You can also install require-dir package from npm.

C:UsersusernameDesktopaurepaApp>npm install require-dir

Step 2 - Create Folders and Files

First, create gulpfile.js file in apps root directory.

C:UsersusernameDesktopaurepaApp>touch gulpfile.js

You will need the build folder. In this directory, add another folder named tasks.

C:UsersusernameDesktopaurepaApp>mkdir build
C:UsersusernameDesktopaurepaAppuild>mkdir tasks

You need to create bundle.js file inside tasks folder.

C:UsersusernameDesktopaurepaAppuild	asks>touch bundle.js

Step 3 - Gulp

Use gulp as the task runner. You need to tell it to run the code from build asksundle.js.

gulpfile.js

require( require-dir )( build/tasks );

Now, create the task that you need. This task will take the app, create dist/appbuild.js and dist/vendor-build.js files. After the bundpng process is complete, the config.js file will also be updated. You can include all files and plugins you want to inject and minify.

bundle.js

var gulp = require( gulp );
var bundle = require( aurepa-bundler ).bundle;

var config = {
   force: true,
   baseURL:  . ,
   configPath:  ./config.js ,
	
   bundles: {
      "dist/app-build": {
         includes: [
             [*.js] ,
             *.html!text ,
             *.css!text ,
         ],
         options: {
            inject: true,
            minify: true
         }
      },
		"dist/vendor-build": {
         includes: [
             aurepa-bootstrapper ,
             aurepa-fetch-cpent ,
             aurepa-router ,
             aurepa-animator-css ,
         ],
         options: {
            inject: true,
            minify: true
         }
      }
   }
};

gulp.task( bundle , function() {
   return bundle(config);
});  

The command prompt will inform us when bundpng is complete.
