# tourism

tourism is a convenience wrapper for Grunt.

## Installation

    $ npm install tourism

*NOTE: You only need to add tourism and `grunt` itself as dependencies to the `package.json` file. You do not have to add any plugins, tourism contains everything it needs to run internally.*

## Quick Start

First you need to create a file called `Gruntfile.js`. Then, instead of the usual content, use the following lines of code to enable code analysis and execution of unit tests.

```javascript
'use strict';

var tourism = require('tourism');

module.exports = tourism({
  analyse: {
    server: [ '**/*.js', '!node_modules/**/*.js' ]
  },
  test: {
    server: [ 'test/**/*.js' ]
  }
});
```

### Using the default task

To use tourism with the default tasks, run the following command.

    $ grunt

The `default` task will run the static code analysis, validate whitespace, execute unit tests and check for outdated packages.

### Calculating test coverage

To calculate the test coverage run the following command.

    $ grunt report

The command stores the results in the `coverage` directory. Additionally, it opens a graphical overview within your web browser. If you only want to calculate the results without actually showing them, run the following command alternatively.

    $ grunt coverage

Then, you need to open the file `index.html` from the directory `coverage` manually.

### Running the default task partially

If you only want to run the default task partially, there are a number of commands you may use:

    $ grunt analyse
    $ grunt test
    $ grunt outdated

### Using watch mode

To use the watch mode, run the following command.

    $ grunt watch

### Creating a release

To create a new release, run the following command.

    $ grunt publish

This will upgrade the version number in the `package.json` file, create a Git tag, create a `.zip` file containing the release, commit and finally push everything to the appropriate GitHub repository.

If you want to create a minor respectively a major release, run one of the following commands instead.

    $ grunt publish:minor
    $ grunt publish:major

If, for whatever reason, you need to skip code analysis and test execution before publishing, use `grunt release` instead of `grunt publish`.

### Using shell tasks

Additionally to the previous tasks most often you need a number of shell commands, e.g. to start an application or to install dependencies. For that you can register named commands using the `shell` object.

```javascript
module.exports = tourism({
  // ...
  shell: {
    start: 'echo "Hello world!"'
  }
});
```

If you need to run a parametrized shell task, provide a function instead of a string.

```javascript
module.exports = tourism({
  // ...
  shell: {
    start: function (message) {
      return 'echo "' + message + '"';
    }
  }
});
```

#### Using built-in shell commands

Unless you overwrite them by your own version, tourism comes with a number of built-in shell commands. To start your Node.js application using `node app.js` run the following command.

    $ grunt start

To update your dependencies you can use the `update` task. If you do not specify a module to update, all modules will be updated. Otherwise, only the specified one will be updated.

    $ grunt update
    $ grunt update:lodash

Additionally, there are two commands that get registered depending on whether other commands have been registered.

- If you register a `start` and a `stop` command, but no `restart` command, `stop && start` is registered.
- If you register a `build` and a `clean` command, but no `rebuild` command, `clean && build` is registered.

## Running the build

This module can be built using [Grunt](http://gruntjs.com/). Besides running the tests, this also analyses the code. To run Grunt, go to the folder where you have installed tourism and run `grunt`. You need to have [grunt-cli](https://github.com/gruntjs/grunt-cli) installed.

    $ grunt
