BuildPod

abstract class BuildPod : BuildScript

BuildPod is the base class for build scripts used to manage building a Fantom source code and resources into a Fantom pod.

See Build for details.

fields outPodDir

List of Uris relative to build script of directories containing the Fan source files to compile

docSrc

Indicates if if source code should be included in the pod/documentation

javaDirs

List of Uris relative to build script of directories containing the Java source files to compile for Java native methods

depends

index

Pod index name/value pairs to compile into pod

jsProps

List of Uris relative to build script that should be searched for .props files to compile to JavaScript

docApi

Indicates if if fandoc API should be included in the documentation

version

Version of the pod - default is set to BuildScript.config prop buildVersion

jniPlatforms

If non-null, whitelist of platforms JNI should be enabled for

dependsDir

The directory to look in for the dependency pod file (and potentially their recursive dependencies)

resDirs

List of optional Uris relative to build script of directories of resources files to package into pod zip file

meta

Pod meta-data name/value pairs to compile into pod

jsDirs

List of Uris relative to build script of directories containing the JavaScript source files to compile for JavaScript native methods

podName

Required name of the pod

jniDirs

List of Uris relative to build script of directories containing the JNI C source files to compile

outDocDir

Directory to output documentation (docs always get placed in sub-directory named by pod)

methods compileNodeJs

Compile to javascript node module

compileDotnet

Compile native .NET assembly dotnetDirs configured

compile

Compile the source into a pod file and all associated natives

test

Run the unit tests using fant for this pod

onCompileFan

Callback to tune the Fantom compiler input

compileJni

Compile JNI bindings if jniDirs configured

compileJava

Compile Java class files if javaDirs is configured

compileFan

Compile Fan code into pod file

nodeJs

Compile to all classes to run in Node.js

clean

Delete all intermediate and target files

full

Run clean, compile, and test

clean @Target { help=... }
virtual Void clean()

Delete all intermediate and target files

compile @Target { help=... }
virtual Void compile()

Compile the source into a pod file and all associated natives. See compileFan, compileJava, and compileDotnet.

compileDotnet virtual Void compileDotnet()

Compile native .NET assembly dotnetDirs configured

compileFan virtual Void compileFan()

Compile Fan code into pod file

compileJava virtual Void compileJava()

Compile Java class files if javaDirs is configured

compileJni virtual Void compileJni()

Compile JNI bindings if jniDirs configured.

compileNodeJs virtual Void compileNodeJs()

Compile to javascript node module

depends Str[] : depends

List of dependencies for pod formatted as Depend. Strings are automatically run through BuildScript.applyMacros.

dependsDir Uri? : dependsDir

The directory to look in for the dependency pod file (and potentially their recursive dependencies). If null then we use the compiler's own pod definitions via reflection (which is more efficient). As a general rule you shouldn't mess with this field - it is used by the build and compiler build scripts for bootstrap build.

docApi Bool : docApi

Indicates if if fandoc API should be included in the documentation. By default API is included.

docSrc Bool : docSrc

Indicates if if source code should be included in the pod/documentation. By default source code it not included.

dotnetDirs Uri[]? : dotnetDirs

List of Uris relative to build script of directories containing the C# source files to compile for .NET native methods.

full @Target { help="Run clean, compile, and test" }
virtual Void full()

Run clean, compile, and test

index Str:Obj : index

Pod index name/value pairs to compile into pod. See Env.index. The index values can be a single Str or a Str[] if there are multiple values mapped to one key.

javaDirs Uri[]? : javaDirs

List of Uris relative to build script of directories containing the Java source files to compile for Java native methods.

jniDirs Uri[]? : jniDirs

List of Uris relative to build script of directories containing the JNI C source files to compile.

jniPlatforms Str[]? : jniPlatforms

If non-null, whitelist of platforms JNI should be enabled for. Platform string may be full platform name ("macosx-x86_64") or OS only ("macosx").

jsDirs Uri[]? : jsDirs

List of Uris relative to build script of directories containing the JavaScript source files to compile for JavaScript native methods.

jsProps Uri[]? : jsProps

List of Uris relative to build script that should be searched for .props files to compile to JavaScript. You may also give relative paths to files with a .props ext. If this field is null, it defaults to resDirs.

meta Str:Str : meta

Pod meta-data name/value pairs to compile into pod. See Pod.meta.

nodeJs @Target { help="Compile all types to run in Node.js" }
virtual Void nodeJs()

Compile to all classes to run in Node.js

onCompileFan virtual Void onCompileFan(CompilerInput ci)

Callback to tune the Fantom compiler input

outDocDir Uri : outDocDir

Directory to output documentation (docs always get placed in sub-directory named by pod). By default it goes into "{Env.cur.workDir}/doc/"

outPodDir Uri : outPodDir

Directory to output pod file. By default it goes into "{Env.cur.workDir}/lib/fan/"

podName Str? : podName

Required name of the pod.

resDirs Uri[]? : resDirs

List of optional Uris relative to build script of directories of resources files to package into pod zip file. If a file has a "jar" extension then its contents are unzipped into the target pod.

srcDirs Uri[]? : srcDirs

List of Uris relative to build script of directories containing the Fan source files to compile.

summary Str? : summary

Required summary description of pod.

test @Target { help="Run the pod unit tests via fant" }
virtual Void test()

Run the unit tests using fant for this pod

version Version : version

Version of the pod - default is set to BuildScript.config prop buildVersion.
