Dist::Zilla::Plugin::BuildShareAssets

Synopsis

Creates a single javascript file for each instant answer by performing the following steps from the root of a zeroclickinfo-* repository:

1. Locates directories in share/ containing .js or .handlebars files.
2. Builds metadata json for instant answer.
3. Compiles handlebars files, if any.
4. Concatenates above files and [ia_name].js, if it exists, into [ia_name].[ia_type].js.
5. Adds new js files to distribution.

Files concatenated together should probably be excluded from the distribution via Dist::Zilla::Plugin::PruneFile in dist.ini.

The plugin can be activated by adding the following to dist.ini:

[BuildShareAssets]

Attributes

There are few attributes that can be set in dist.ini.

• concurrent_builds: The number of concurrent builders to spawn (default: 2)
• metadata_path: Path to the metadata.json file (default: share/{ia_type}/meta/metadata.json)
• exclude: Exclude instant answers from being built, e.g. spice_template. Separate multiple instant answers with spaces.

Non-Perl Dependencies

Uses command-line utilites, i.e. handlebars and uglifyjs, from the following packages and expects them to be in its path:

• handlebars
• uglify-js
