Overrun is a framework for setting up asset processing pipelines in Node.js.
- Support for abitrary transformations of files.
- Strongly-typed build definition files written in TypeScript.
- Supports parallel build operations via promises.
- Filesystem watch mode looks for source files that have changed and automatically rebuilds the targets that are out of date.
- Promise-based API makes it easy to extend with arbitrary transformation steps.
- Supports
reduce()operations for combining multiple input files into a single output.
Overrun is similar in concept to tools such as Gulp, Grunt or Brunch, but it has a few differences. The primary use case for Overrun is processing 3D models and textures for games, but it can be used to convert other kinds of media as well.
- There is no built-in functionality for generating JavaScript bundles or processing HTML, which most of these other tools have.
- It is built around
Promise/awaitfunctionality, as opposed to Node.js streams, making it easy to extend with new build rules. - Build files can be written in TypeScript, and all target and task definitions are strongly typed. This means that your editor's autocompletion can assist in writing build files.
