herringbone-0.1.1: A library for compiling and serving static web assets.

Safe HaskellNone

Web.Herringbone.Internal.GetBuildMapping

Description

This module deals with locating assets on the disk, and determining which assets needs preprocessing.

In development mode: * At startup, build a mapping of source files to destination files together with any preprocessors that should be run on them (based on extension) * watch for filesystem changes, and rebuild relevant parts of this mapping when necessary * listen for HTTP requests and serve relevant files, performing preprocessing where necessary. (well, eventually do all that. For now just rebuild the BuildMapping for each request).

In production mode: * build the mapping * preprocess all the files and output them to a particular directory.

This architecture should ensure that the file mapping is identical in each mode.

Synopsis

Documentation

getBuildSpec :: Herringbone -> FilePath -> BuildSpecSource

Given a FilePath of a source file, construct a BuildSpec for the file.

makeDestAbsolute :: Herringbone -> BuildSpec -> IO BuildSpecSource

Make the destination path of a BuildSpec absolute, using the destination directory of the given Herringbone.

searchForFileSource

Arguments

:: [FilePath]

List of search paths

-> FilePath

File to search for

-> IO (Maybe FilePath) 

Search for a file in a list of search paths. For example, if assets/test.txt exists, then searchForFile [assets, other_assets] test.txt will return Just assets/text.txt
