Is there a way to exclude a folder from a build in a Brocfile (or any other place). The use case is packaging, where I have an app made of sub-apps within pods. eg.
/app/modules/components
/app/modules/app1
/app/modules/app2
/app/modules/app3
I'd like to build them all when environment is set to 'development' or only eg. 'app1' when environment is 'app1'. Any suggestions?
I have tried different combinations of broccoli-file-remover, broccoli-funnel and broccoli-merge-trees to no avail.
var removeFile = require('broccoli-file-remover');
module.exports = removeFile(app.toTree(), {
paths: ['app/modules/pod1/', 'app/modules/pod2/']
});
Ah, so after actually thinking about this clearly, everything is actually working exactly as expected in my previous example.
I clearly wasn't paying enough attention. app.toTree()
is far too late to perform this operation, as everything has already been built and concated.
Luckily, ember-cli does enable addons to modify the appropriate trees at various life cycle milestones.
See: https://github.com/ember-cli/ember-cli/blob/master/ADDON_HOOKS.md for more details on which hooks are currently available.
The hook that should do the trick is Addon.prototype.postprocessTree
. Now we have two choices, we can build a standalone addon, via ember addon
or we can create a light-weight in-repo addon via ember g in-repo-addon
. Typically for these types of situations, I prefer in-repo-addons as they don't require a second project, but otherwise they are the same.
npm install --save broccoli-stew
var stew = require('broccoli-stew')
;The resulting pull request: https://github.com/WooDzu/ember-exclude-pod/pull/1
Note: I noticed
template
wasn't one of the types available in postprocess, so I added it: https://github.com/ember-cli/ember-cli/pull/4263 (should be part of the next ember-cli release)Note: we really do want an additional hook
Addon.prototype.preprocessTree
, as to ignore the files before we even build them. I have opened a related issue: https://github.com/ember-cli/ember-cli/issues/4262
output of the above steps
var stew = require('broccoli-stew');
module.exports = {
name: 'remove',
isDevelopingAddon: function() {
return true;
},
postprocessTree: function(type, tree){
if (type === 'js' || type === 'template') {
return stew.rm(tree, '*/modules/pod{1,2}/**/*');
} else {
return tree;
}
}
};
