Conditional Plugin

Introduction

This plugin makes it easy to distinguish between a dev and production build in lumbar. It came about after working with local storage loaders and having to manually clear local storage every time we made a change. With this plugin we choose between two different files for lumbar loader, the localStorage and standard versions. In our lumbar.json configuration we have two entries like this

{"src":"lumber-loader-localstorage.js", "env":"production"},
{"src":"lumber-loader-storage.js", "env":"dev"}

Example

We then call lumbar with the --use command line argument like this

lumbar --use conditional --with {env:\'dev\'}

Note that the single quotes had to be escaped on the bash command line or else they would have been dropped which would give an error.
