Under the hood

Installation

Install mango-cli once from npm and use it everywhere:

sh
npm install -g mango-cli

Requirements

Before installation check that your system has these requirements:

• Node.js LTS (8.x)
• Git executable in PATH

Mac OS X

• python (v2.7 recommended, v3.x.x is not supported) (already installed on Mac)
• Xcode
  • You also need to install the Command Line Tools via Xcode. You can find this under the menu Xcode -> Preferences -> Downloads
• https://jcupitt.github.io/libvips/ via Homebrew brew install vips

Windows

• https://github.com/felixrieseberg/windows-build-tools via npm install -g --production windows-build-tools (from an elevated PowerShell)
  • will install and configure Python v2.7 and Visual C++ Build Tools 2015 for you

Linux

• python (v2.7 recommended, v3.x.x is not supported)
• make
• A proper C/C++ compiler toolchain, like GCC

Alternative methods

Docker

We also provide a Docker image mangoweb/mango-cli which is available on the https://hub.docker.com/r/mangoweb/mango-cli/

Pre-packed archives

If you're still having problems with the installation, check out prepared https://github.com/manGoweb/mango-cli/releases.

Extract them locally and run npm link in the mango-cli folder (on Mac OS X you still need the libvips dependency though).

Usage

• mango init - scaffolding and initialization
• mango install - dependency installation
• mango build - production build
• mango dev - development mode

Feel free to use mango [command] -h for detailed instructions

Project scaffolding and initialization

sh
mango init [options] [directory]

Forks a template into folder.

Options:

• -s, --source [git_repository] - git repository with a template to fork. Default is currently the https://github.com/manGoweb/mango-cli-example

Managing project dependencies

sh
mango install [packages...]

Installs packages from NPM and stores them in node_modules folder, from where you can require them (thanks to browserify). Maintain current list in the mango.yaml config file under the dependencies section.

Project build

Assuming the config file mango.yaml is present in a current directory and contains:

yaml
styles:
  - styles/screen.styl
scripts:
  - scripts/index.js
images:
  - images/**/*.{jpg,png,svg}
templates:
  - templates/**/*.pug
static:
  - fonts/**
dependencies:
  - jquery
watch:
  - app/**
dist_folder: dist

Config file can be in JSON or JS formats. mango.json gets parsed as a JSON file, mango.config.js gets required as-is.

Production build

sh
mango build [tasks...]

All assets are compiled and minified into dist_folder, ready for production use.

Options:

• [tasks...] - run only specified tasks as styles, scripts, images, templates, static

Development mode

sh
mango dev [http_proxy]

Starts BrowserSync server (or proxy server) and fs watch for assets change.
