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The `default` task will run the static code analysis, validate whitespace, execute unit tests and check for outdated packages.

### Changing the language version for code analysis

By default, code analysis uses rules that target the latest version of EcmaScript. If you want to change this, you can provide an additional `options` object and change the language version. Currently supported values are `es5`, `es6`, `es2015` (which is equivalent to `es6`) and `latest` (which is the default).

```javascript
module.exports = tourism({
  analyse: {
    server: [ '**/*.js', '!node_modules/**/*.js' ],
    options: {
      server: {
        language: 'es5'
      }
    }
  }
});
```

### 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.

Additionally, tourism adds the file `cobertura-coverage.xml` to the `coverage` directory, so that you are able to integrate calculating the test coverage into your automated build.

### 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    $ grunt outdated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
