This plugin allows to integrate into Gradle a build based on Node.js/npm/Yarn. It is inspired by the philosophy of the Frontend Maven plugin, an equivalent plugin for Maven. Follow the quick start guide, and build your frontend application. Take a look at the Release notes if you are migrating from a previous version.
The plugin downloads and installs a Node.js distribution and/or a Yarn distribution when required. Optionally, a shared/global distribution may be used instead to avoid network overhead and duplication. The plugin may also use a HTTP proxy server for downloads, to take advantage of any caching facility, and submit to the organization's security rules. Basic authentication scheme is supported for both distribution and proxy servers.
Depending on the environment, installing frontend dependencies using the
package.json file may require a different command (e.g. npm ci).
No need to define tasks to build, clean, check, or publish the frontend application through Gradle
lifecycle. The plugin provides ready-to-use tasks out
of the box, and ensures their implementation matches Gradle's
recommandations. Plug scripts from a package.json file with the
DSL, and run
gradlew build.
