StealJS is a collection of command line and JavaScript client utilities that make building, packaging, and sharing JavaScript applications easy. Lets see what it can do:

Dependency Management ([steal])

[steal] loads JS and other file into your app. Features:

• Loads JavaScript, CSS, Less, CoffeeScript, and a variety of client-side templates.

• Can be use with scripts that don't use steal.

  steal('widgets/tabs.js', './style.css', function(){ $('#tabs ).tabs(); });

JS/CSS Concatenation and Compression ([steal.build])

The [steal.build] plugin combines an application's files into a single minified JavaScript and CSS file extremely easy. Features:

• Configurable compressors (defaults to Google Closure).
• Compresses Less and CoffeeScript.
• Pre-processes and compresses client-side templates (templates don't have to be parsed).

• Pre-packaged JMVC style code generators.
• Easily author custom generators.
