build

build takes an iterator and a function. It gets all the files from the iterator, checks their modification time, compares it to a cache, and passes the filename to the function if the file was modified.

Behavior

The cache is stored in an .alfons file. If it does not exist, then all filenames will be passed to the function, and then stored in cache. If it does exist, then the comparison happens.

Examples

Compiling MoonScript

compile = function(self)
  build((wildcard "**.moon"), function(file)
    sh "moonc " .. file
  end)
end

tasks:
  compile: =>
    build (wildcard "**.moon"), -> sh "moonc #{file}"
