A builder for web frond-end, optimize specially for boomjs.
-
Java Runtime Environment(JRE). Because of Bomb use google closure compiler and YUI compresser to compile files of css or javascript.
-
[option] Any subversion client with command-line tools, if you use SVN for your project. I advise you install it. The benefit of the case is that Bomb will update and commit automatically. If you using TortoiseSVN, it makes easy to get command tools, refer http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1625406/using-tortoisesvn-via-the-command-line#answer-1625416).
TIPS: You should change the PATH system variable that make operation system can locate java executale files and subversion comment-line tools. Read this for more information.
Download setup.exe. Run it, Next Next and Next. Congratulations!
pip install bomb
Download source code from here. Unpackage, run cmd.exe or bash, change the
current working directory to directory that contain setup.py and type:
python setup.py install

Make a package config file.
Suppose you have a workspace directory in
C:\project, and the directories tree looks like this:template/ static/ css/ a.css b.css js/ jquery.js a.js b.js cfile/ store/ ...You should make a package config file named
package.jsonin 'static/', and copy this to your file.{ "cfile": ["./cfile/"], "referrer":["../template/head.tpl"], "store": "./store" }Let's explain these key.
cfileis a array that include config file directory(explain "config file" later). The value./cfile/means all config files inC:\project\static\cfile\.referreris a template file such as php template or a html file that introduce javascript or css.storeis a directory that contain files that compile config files to. The last, one case need to take care is that all path we mention above is relative to the directory ofpackage.json, in this case it'sC:\project\static.Now, the directories tree looks like this:
template/ static/ package.json css/ a.css b.css js/ jquery.js a.js b.js cfile/ store/ ... -
Make some config files.
Suppose our project need one css file and one javascript file in production environment. And the css file includes all css files that in
static/css, the javascript file includes all javascript files instatic/js. For this case we make two config files: one.css and one.js instatic/cfile/.one.csslooks like this:@import url('./css/a.css'); @import url('./css/b.css');one.jslooks like this:$import('./js/jquery.js'); $import('./js/a.js'); $import('./js/b.js');So, the directories tree looks like this:
template/ static/ package.json css/ a.css b.css js/ jquery.js a.js b.js cfile/ one.css one.js store/ ...There is caveat, all the path in config file is relative to the directory of package config file(in this case is
static/), IS NOT relative to itself. -
Make a template file.
As eveyone knows, javascript and css must be included in a html file. Now, we make a html template file named
head.tplintemplate/to include css and javascript. Anthor template can includehead.tplin order to include javascript and css. It looks like this:<!doctype html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <title>Bomb Test</title> {if $PRODUCTION_ENVIRONMENT} <link rel="stlyesheet" type="text/css" href="/static/store/one_0.css"> <script src="/static/static/store/one_0.js"></script> {else} <link rel="stlyesheet" type="text/css" href="/static/css/a.css"> <link rel="stlyesheet" type="text/css" href="/static/css/b.css"> <script src="/static/static/store/js/jquery.js"></script> <script src="/static/static/store/js/a.js"></script> <script src="/static/static/store/js/b.js"></script> {/if} </head>Now, the directories tree looks like this:
template/ head.tpl static/ package.json css/ a.css b.css js/ jquery.js a.js b.js cfile/ one.css one.js store/ ...
That's all, all files that we need are exsit. Here we go. Use Bomb publish this project.
If you install Bomb by Windows Installer, you can bring the context menu by
right click package.js, then click Bomb. In other way else you need run
cmd.exe or bash and type
bomb package.json
You will see a list of config file even use what way you chose. Then type all
and Enter. Bomb will run and process course of actions e.g. compile config file,
modify template file and commit the change to server by SVN. All Done, The
directoies tree looks like this:
template/
head.tpl
static/
package.json
css/
a.css
b.css
js/
jquery.js
a.js
b.js
cfile/
one.css
one.js
store/
one_1.css
one_1.js
one_1.js includes jquery.js a.js and b.js, and it compressed by Google
Closure Compiler. one_1.css is the same.
head.tpl is changed too. the path /static/store/one_0.css change to
/static/store/one_1.css. javascript file is the same.
And if this project use SVN, all change commited to server already. That's all.
If you use Google Pagespeed, you should know inlineing small CSS files can
enhance speed of page rendering. Bomb do this easily. Use the example above,
But we need change head.tpl to this:
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Bomb Test</title>
{if $PRODUCTION_ENVIRONMENT}
<style>
/* _PLACEHOLDER_one.css START */
/* _PLACEHOLDER_one.css END */
</style>
<script src="/static/static/store/one_0.js"></script>
{else}
<link rel="stlyesheet" type="text/css" href="/static/css/a.css">
<link rel="stlyesheet" type="text/css" href="/static/css/b.css">
<script src="/static/static/store/js/jquery.js"></script>
<script src="/static/static/store/js/a.js"></script>
<script src="/static/static/store/js/b.js"></script>
{/if}
</head>
Run Bomb, the content of one.css will appear between the annotations.
