Tasks

Task Launcher

skinny-task is a mechanism to run tasks easily. By default, the following tasks are already registered.

task/src/main/scala/skinny/task/TaskLauncher.scala

skinny-blank-app prepares the easy-to-use TaskRunner.

task/src/main/scala/TaskRunner.scala

object TaskRunner extends skinny.task.TaskLauncher {

  // def register(name: String, runner: (List[String]) => Unit)
  register("assets:precompile", (params) => {
    val buildDir = params.headOption.getOrElse("build")
    skinny.task.AssetsPrecompileTask.main(Array(buildDir))
  })
}

Creating Your Own Tasks

Creating tasks is pretty easy. You just need to define a function (List[String]) => Unit.

register("echo", (params) => params foreach println)

Run the task:

sbt "task/run echo foo bar baz"

[info] Running TaskLauncher echo foo bar baz
foo
bar
baz

Improve your development with tasks.
