targets

Generate "targets"

In this example we demonstrate how to create and use "targets" with assemble. If you're familiar with build-systems such as make or grunt, you might also be familiar with the concept of "targets".

Targets provide a declarative way of specifying and organizing the files to be operated on by the build-system, and as you'll see this can work quite nicely with assemble's imperitive API.

Creating a target

TBC...

var Target = require('expand-target');
var target = new Target({
  data: {title: 'My Site'},
  options: {
    cwd: 'src',
    destBase: 'dist'
  },
  files: [
    {src: 'posts/*.md', dest: 'blog/', data: {title: 'My Blog'}},
    {src: 'pages/*.hbs'}
  ]
});

Build

From the same directory as this example, in the command line run:

$ npm install && assemble

From the root of the assemble project, run:

$ npm install && assemble --cwd examples/targets
