Core build tools

@microsoft/gulp-core-build

gulp-core-build is a set of utility functions that makes it easy to create gulp-based build rigs. Instead of having unwieldy unmaintainable gulpfiles in every project, we want the build setup to be as reusable and centralized as possible.

Standard subtasks

@microsoft/gulp-core-build-karma

gulp-core-build-karma is a gulp-core-build subtask for running unit tests using karma/phantomjs/mocha/chai. This setup allows you to run browser based testing.

@microsoft/gulp-core-build-mocha

gulp-core-build-mocha is a gulp-core-build subtask for running unit tests using mocha/chai. This setup is useful for unit testing build tools, as it runs in the node process rather than in a browser.

@microsoft/gulp-core-build-sass

gulp-core-build-sass is a gulp-core-build subtask which processes scss files using SASS, runs them through postcss, and produces commonjs/amd modules which are injected using the @microsoft/load-themed-styles package.

@microsoft/gulp-core-build-serve

gulp-core-build-serve is a gulp-core-build subtask for testing/serving web content on the localhost, and live reloading it when things change.

@microsoft/gulp-core-build-typescript

gulp-core-build-typescript contains gulp-core-build subtasks for compiling and linting TypeScript code.

@microsoft/gulp-core-build-webpack

gulp-core-build-webpack is a gulp-core-build subtask which introduces the ability to bundle various source files into a set of bundles, using webpack.

Build rigs

@microsoft/node-library-build

node-library-build is a gulp-core-build build rig which provides basic functionality for building and unit testing TypeScript projects.

@microsoft/web-library-build

web-library-build is a gulp-core-build build rig for building web libraries. It includes build subtasks for processing css, typescript, serving, and running browser tests using karma.
