Easier way to develop your web app with Google Closure Library

Project description

https://pypip.in/v/googkit/badge.png https://secure.travis-ci.org/googkit/googkit.png?branch=master

Overview

Googkit is an easy way to use Google Closure Library. You can setup only two commands, so start developing quickly. You can also do such a complicated compiling … at one blow!

Requirements

Googkit requires Following commands. Install them if not installed yet.

Git:

downloads Closure Library

Python:

executes Closure Tools

Install Googkit

First, you need to install Googkit.

Linux or OS X

  1. Download and extract the latest version of Googkit

  2. Put it into a preferred place:

    $ mv googkit /usr/local
  3. Add environment variables:

    export GOOGKIT_HOME=/usr/local/googkit
    export PATH=$PATH:$GOOGKIT_HOME/bin

Windows

  1. Download and extract the latest version of Googkit

  2. Put it into a preferred place:

    $ move googkit C:\
  3. Add environment variables

    Variable

    Value

    GOOGKIT_HOME PATH

    C:\googkit Append ;%GOOGKIT_HOME%\bin

Getting Started

  1. Create a project directory and initialize:

    $ mkdir my_project
    $ cd my_project
    $ googkit init
  2. Download Closure Tools:

    $ googkit setup
  3. Develop your web app in development/

    Modify existing scripts, or add your awesome scripts to development/js_dev.

    After adding/removing scripts, you need to update dependency information:

    $ googkit ready
  4. Build your project

    Building the project including JavaScript files compilation improves performance and makes them unreadable:

    $ googkit build

    If it succeed, output files will be stored in production/.

Project Structure

googkit.cfg:

config file of the project

closure/:

stores Closure Tools

development/:

for development

debug/:

for debug (it will be created if debug is enabled)

production/:

for production

Running Unit Tests

You can run jsunit-style unit tests.

  1. Create a HTML file for testing

    Copy example_test.html into the same directory as the target, then rename it to {target_name}_test.html.

    If you don’t like the default name {target_name}_test.html, you can change it by test_file_pattern in googkit.cfg.

  2. Write unit tests

  3. Apply config changes and update dependency information:

    $ googkit ready
  4. Run unit tests

    Open the test html file in your browser.

    If you want to run all tests, open development/all_tests.html in your browser with http scheme (doesn’t work with file scheme).

Tips

Renaming a Compiled Script

Edit compiled_js in googkit.cfg. After editing, apply it with a following command:

$ googkit ready

Preventing Some Scripts from Compiling

Place them outside development/js_dev. Scripts that are in it will be compiled and removed in production.

Debugging a Compiled Source

Change is_debug_enabled to yes in googkit.cfg and build it:

$ googkit build

Then you can use debugging features in debug/. This option makes compilation slow.

Using Source Map

Googkit generates a source map file script.min.js.map within debug/, so you can use Source Map V3 if your browser supports it.

For reason of obfuscation, source map file will NOT be stored in production/.
