== Guardfile DSL
|
||||
|

The Guardfile DSL consists of just three simple main methods: `guard`, `watch` & `group`.
|
||||
The Guardfile DSL consists of just three simple methods: <tt>guard</tt>, <tt>watch</tt> & <tt>group</tt>.
|
||||
|
||||
Required:
|
||||
- The `guard` method allows you to add a guard with an optional options hash.
|
||||
- The `watch` method allows you to define which files are supervised per this guard. A optional block can be added to overwrite path sent to run_on_change guard method or launch simple command.
|
||||
- The <tt>guard</tt> method allows you to add a guard with an optional hash of options.
|
||||
- The <tt>watch</tt> method allows you to define which files are supervised by this guard. An optional block can be added to overwrite the paths sent to the <tt>run_on_change</tt> guard method or to launch any arbitrary command.
|
||||
|
||||
Optional:
|
||||
- The `group` method allows you to group several guards. Groups to run can be specified with the Guard DSL option `--group` (or `-g`). This comes in handy especially when you have a huge Guardfile and want to focus your development.
|
||||
- The <tt>group</tt> method allows you to group several guards together. Groups to be run can be specified with the Guard DSL option <tt>--group</tt> (or <tt>-g</tt>). This comes in handy especially when you have a huge Guardfile and want to focus your development on a certain part.
