Support for filename patterns in concat

[josdejong]

It would be very powerful when you could concatenate all files or a filtered set of files with buildify at once, something like:

var buildify = require('buildify');

buildify()
    .concat('./src/*.js')
    .wrap('../lib/template.js', { version: '1.0' })
    .save('../distribution/output.js')
    .uglify()
    .save('../distribution/output.min.js');

The functionality offered by the module fileset comes very close, though fileset works asynchronously.

vote up hi josdejong, I have some files for example model/Player.js,model/Item.js. These files are pure js function (aka Class). Do you know any tool to concat these files under model folder and add a wrapper for each file to work with nodejs

[josdejong]

Well you could very easily combine node-fileset and buildify like:

var fileset = require('fileset'),
    buildify = require('buildify');

fileset('model/**/*.js', function(err, files) {
  buildify()
    .concat(files)
    .wrap('../lib/template.js', { version: '1.0' })
    .save('../distribution/output.js');
});
