[FR] Hooks into the compilation process

[interfasys]

When building an app, we already have pre and post hooks for building the "page" and the css, but it would be useful to be able to intervene during the compilation process since it includes several steps.

I'd love to be able to use my own pre-processor to get rid of console.log calls per example. The most efficient way to do this would be after the file is concatenated, just before the actual compilation process.

Thanks for the report! I have opened a feature request in our bug tracker.

While we wait, this might work for some of you. Edit your build-impl.xml and add this:

<target name="-after-page">
        <if>
            <equals arg1="${args.environment}"
                    arg2="package"/>
            <then>
                <replaceregexp match="console.log\([^()][^;|^}]*\)"
                               replace=""
                               flags="gis"
                               file="${workspace.build.dir}/package/app.js"/>
            </then>
        </if>
</target>
