Tie roxy './ml local deploy modules' into grunt watch

[sgehringDesign]

This is more of a question... Would it be possible to tie roxy ./ml local deploy modules into a grunt watch? This way when my local grunt watch detects a change to my LESS or JS code it will push the built code to into my local MarkLogic DB?

watch from grunt or gulp should not be an issue.
We are using similar technique to rebuilt dist directory [1]

Can Roxy only deploy the files changed as opposed to the entire src directory?

You could tell grunt (or gulp) to call "ml local load...". See "ml load -h" for details; it's for loading a single file. It defaults to the content database, but you can tell it to use the modules database instead.

@dmcassel thanks for the tip ml {env} load

I have created a gist using gulp / watch https://gist.github.com/rlouapre/f4d1e257dda43364995f

I like it. @grtjn, something to add to the slush generator?

[grtjn]

Ha, would be nice if gulp could leverage roxy properties directly, instead of you needing to duplicate settings inside gulpfile.js. Maybe by reading ./ml local info with some output format? :)

Yes, definitely worth considering to add to the slush template. I'll open a ticket..

@grtjn that was the point of #437

[grtjn]

Hereby referenced.. ;-)

THANKS! =O)

[dmcassel]

I think that this kind of integration is a combination of #437 and work external to Roxy. With that in mind, I propose closing this ticket. Anybody see something else to be done here?

[grtjn]

A ticket was opened in the slush project, +1 for closing..
