NodeBB Grunt

Does this mean we'll see a reworked emoji extended too?

Awesome, this is really all I ever wanted for NodeBB plugin dev. Great work, I hope it will become the standard for all plugins to come

Yes please! I want to submit a design for the emoji plugin to make it awesome on both desktop and mobile (see: fb, slack, mobile interface) but coffeescript...

Going to give this a run next time I build a plugin or theme, looking forward to it. Is livereload part of your future plans, I didn't see it in your docs

[psychobunny]

Maybe I'm missing the point, but can't you do

nconf.get("something")

Instead of

One important (to me) compilation step is the meta-replace. Means every occurrences of @{...} within certain files get replaced with the respective meta data (either from within package.json or .meta.json or from some pre-defined values, details are planned for the wiki).

@psychobunny livereload would need to be triggered by the NodeBB core grunt task, since nodebb-grunt does only distribute the files for example into NodeBB/node_modules/nodebb-plugin-shortcuts/. From there on it relies on NodeBB Core grunt to notice those file changes and reload/restart NodeBB.
So livereload would need to trigger when NodeBB is fully restarted.

• The compilation includes meta-data regarding the module without the need to nconf.file() at runtime.
• The compilation works client-, server-side and everywhere else in your project (for example path names too) - as long as the files are matched by selectors within nodebb-grunt configuration.

@frissdiegurke Are you moving away from coffeescript in general? or just for your nodebb plugins?

[frissdiegurke]

@yariplus in general

@frissdiegurke Good.
