> [!WARNING] > This application is not suitable for production and is missing many tests, if you plan on using it, you are on you own.

An obscure build tool starting as an emacs elisp script in 2009. Scroungejs was used by foxsports.com and ties.com.

A test configuration is found in spec/. Below is a config with common options. All options are optional and if you're unsure about an option, you likely don't need it.

await scroungejs({
  version: process.env.npm_package_version,
  inputpath: './src/',
  outputpath: './build/',
  iscompress: true,
  isconcat: false,

  // read this template html and output to basepage
  basepagein: './src/index.tpl.html',
  basepage: './build/index.html',

  // join contents of these files to top of this tree's file
  prependarr: [{
    treename: 'app.js',
    sourcearr: [
      './node_modules/three/build/three.js',
      './node_modules/hls.js/dist/hls.min.js'
    ]
  }],

  skipdeparr: [
    '/hls.js'
  ],

  // write these trees, the root file of a tree the treename
  treearr: [
    'app.js',
    'app.css'
  ]
})

The example in test/ console-prints something like this when it runs,

It reads index.tpl.html,

It creates and updates a resulting index.html,

When iswatch is true and concatenate is false, updating a file shows this,

[...] update: scroungejs-1.3.6:~/test/src/lib/library.js
