Jekyll-Taskhook

Jekyll plugin for hooking taks runners into the build process. Kind of experimental.

Installation

Current method is to copy the contents of this repo to a _plugins/jekyll-taskhook dir in your Jekyll project directory.

You can do that manually, or the awesome way:

$ cd <jekyll-project-path>
$ git submodule add https://github.com/sprngr/jekyll-taskhook.git _plugins/jekyll-taskhook

To use, in your _config.yml set the property for your task runner (name written lower case) and then list out the tasks to run during jekyll build

Example configuration entry:

gulp:
  - clean
  - concat
  - minify

Just do the above with whatever task runner system you choose, assuming it's supported.

Supported task runners

gulp
grunt
npm
rake

Known Caveats

If your tasks used create files, avoid having them written to the root Jekyll directory or else an infinite loop will be caused if you run jekyll serve. If you do need to generate files for the build, direct the output to the build destination and be sure to include it in the keep_files list in the _config.yml.
