I've been playing around with Yeoman & Jade. I've created a small test app via yeoman init angular
(it's an angular app, but that's not the point here)...
When I enter yeoman server
at the command line, it will:
- compile coffeescript & compass files
- start a server
- start a browser
- watch & reload coffeescript & compass changes in the browser
Which is a great feature of Yeoman!
Now I want the same feature with Jade. So I installed grunt-jade via npm install grunt-jade
and added the following config in GruntFile.js to compile the jade templates:
jade: {
html: {
src: ['app/views/*.jade'],
dest: 'app/views',
options: {
client: false
}
}
},
I was able to integrate the jade
task in Yeoman's watch & reload tasks by adding the following config in the watch
task:
watch: {
...
jade: {
files: 'app/views/*.jade',
tasks: 'jade reload'
},
...
}
And all works wonderfully well... except that the initial compile does not occur unless I add the jade
task to the command:
yeoman jade server
Our butler doesn't like this nice girl, because he won't let her integrate with his server
task :) And that is annoying, since yeoman server
will compile only coffeescript & compass files.
Is there any way how I could add the jade
task to the default execution of yeoman server
?
