Tasks

Skier is built around a modular task pipeline. Each task performs one build step.

How It Works

1. You define an array of tasks in your config file
2. Skier runs each task sequentially
3. Tasks share data via the global context

export default [
  task1(),  // Runs first
  task2(),  // Runs second, can access task1's output
  task3(),  // Runs third, can access both
];

Task Types

Global Context

Tasks communicate through a shared global object:

// Task 1 returns data
const task1 = {
  name: 'collect-posts',
  run: async (config, ctx) => {
    return { posts: ['Post 1', 'Post 2'] };  // Merged into globals
  }
};

// Task 2 reads that data
const task2 = {
  name: 'use-posts',
  run: async (config, ctx) => {
    console.log(ctx.globals.posts);  // ['Post 1', 'Post 2']
  }
};
