mimosa-stream-copy

Overview

This is a streaming copy module for the Mimosa build tool. It handles copying for files that do not need any other processing by mimosa modules during watch or build. The mimosa-copy module will copy files as well, but it does not stream them. Files processed by that module are read into memory and written out of memory.

Usage

Add 'stream-copy' to your list of modules. That's all! Mimosa will install the module for you when you start mimosa watch or mimosa build.

Functionality

This module will copy all files that match the extensions array from the watch.sourceDir to the watch.compiledDir using streams. Once the file is copied, this module calls next(false) which stops any further processing for the file.

Do not use this module on any files that you need to have processed by other Mimosa modules. For instance, do not use this on CoffeeScript files that need to be compiled, or CSS files if you wish to have them CSSLinted.

Default Config

streamCopy: {
  extensions: ["png","jpg","jpeg","gif","eot","svg","ttf","woff","otf","yaml","kml","ico","htc","txt","xml","xsd","map","md","mp4","mp3"]
}

• extensions: The extensions to be stream copied. Files possessing these extensions will be copied from the watch.sourceDir to watch.compiledDir and then processing for the files will stop. If any other modules expect to process these files during watch or build they will be unable to, so be sure to only include those files that do not need other processing.
