build.js

// # Build script using Node.js
//
// Single script build,used as a lightweight alternative
// when a build platform (grunt/gulp wtc.) feels like overkill
//
// - Dependencies: NPM/Node.js
// - Conventions:
// * code is in a lib/ folder with a main.js as the main context (closure)
// * a package.json on the root contains all the info about the lib: name, description, author, license
// * compiled files are saved in a build folder

// - read module name from package file
var package = JSON.parse( fs.readFileSync('package.json', FILE_ENCODING) ); // condition the existance of package.json or component.json...
var name = package.name;
// - list files in the lib folder
var src = libFiles();

// - concatinate all files

// - Validate js
lint('build/'+ name +'.js', function(){
