How to use csscss with guard?

Question

I’d like to use csscss tool to detect duplicated CSS in Rails environment. My end goal is to run it whenever a commit is added (and detecting duplicates is only a first step), but assume the simpler case: making csscss go with guard.

I have not found any plugins to handle that nor I have experience to create one.

Did anyone find similar problem?

Answer 1

You could use Guard-Shell to execute csscss on every stylesheet modification:

guard :shell do
  watch /app/assets/stylesheets/(.*)/ do |m|
    `csscss #{ m[0] }`
  end
end

What do you think about Gruntjs?

There is a good wrapper for cscscs in the gruntjs:
https://npmjs.org/package/grunt-csscss

I think, watch task + csscss task is the good decision.
