Qbuild

Qbuild is an easy build system (bordering on naive, some could say) for minifying JavaScript, transpiling SCSS into CSS, and minifying CSS into one stylesheet.

Installation

Qbuild is a Ruby gem. Make sure you have a recent version of Ruby installed (>=2.2.2) and simply issue the following command in your terminal:

gem install qbuild

Note: Qbuild has not been tested on Windows. It would likely not work.

Usage

cd into the root of your web or Electron project. Create a default Qbuild config file with:

qbuild --init (or qbuild -i)

You can review the current options with qbuild --options (or qbuild -o). If you want to change some parameters, edit .qbuild.json located in the root of your project.

To build your project, use qbuild run

You will notice pre_build and post_build keys in the config file. They are arrays you can use to issue any command you wish to run before and after build.

Note: Make sure you add your .css and .scss files in the stylesheet_filenames array in the correct order they should be built.

Note: I'm currently writing a (really simple, really naive) tutorial on Qbuild.
