steal-tools bundle

Use

Note: The steal-tools bundle command-line utility calls steal-tools.bundle internally. This page documents the specifics of the command-line utility. Read steal-tools.bundle's documentation for how to use the bundle in various workflows and detailed information on the options available.

steal-tools can be installed into the command line, like:

> npm install steal-tools -g

Then you can run steal-tools bundle, like:

> steal-tools build --config app/config.js --main app/app

Or, you can access steal-tools in node_modules/.bin, like:

> ./node_modules/.bin/steal-tools bundle \
      --config app/config.js \
      --main app/app

If you are using the npm plugin you don't need to specify --config or --main:

> steal-tools

will default to package.json!npm as the config and build out to the root folder of your project.

Dependencies bundle and development bundles

The steal-tools bundle command provides two options to easily create development bundles if you're using npm.

> steal-tools bundle --dev

The command above will create a bundle including the application dependencies located in the node_modules folder and the package.json!npm module with is the default config module.

If you don't want to generate the bundle each time config changes, or you only want to create a bundle of the modules in node_modules you can run:

> steal-tools bundle --deps

See steal-tools.bundle's documentation for details on how to load the development bundles.
