Wiseau

=======

Wiseau is a build tool for client-side javascript. It concatenates and minifies

your javascript, without telling you which libraries to use or how to lay out

your project.

#### Features

* Support for multiple output files

* Minification via uglify-js

* (TODO) Support for http and npm dependencies

* (TODO) JSHint integration

Maybe later:

* Coffeescript support

* CSS/Stylus build targets

#### Command Line Interface

* `wiseau init`  - Start a new project by creating a new clientbuild.json config file.

* `wiseau build` - Build the target files specified in your config file.

* `wiseau watch` - (TODO) Watch the project's source files for changes, and re-build

                   automatically when changes are saved.

For convenience, `wiseau` is also aliased as `wi` at the command line.

#### An Example clientbuild.json File

```

// Single-line comments can be added to your json config file.

{

    "sourceDir": "js/src",                  // The relative path to your source code

    "outputDir": "js/build",                // Where to place the output of the build

    "targets": {

        "libs.js": {

            "sourceDir": "js/src/libs",     // You can override config values per target

            "dependencies": [

                "jquery.js",

                "underscore.js",

                "backbone.js"

            ]

        },

        "app.js": {                         // You can create as many build targets as you like

            "minify": false,                // Minification is optional (but enabled by default)

            "dependencies": [

                "models.js",

                "views.js",

                "main.js"

            ]

        }

    }

}

```
