Target Block

The target block describes requirements for running a target. A target has a unique name in the scope of this file (see identifier).

Example Usage

target build {
    depends_on = [ target.^build ]
    outputs = [ "dist/*" ]
    rebuild = false
    cache = "local"
    idempotent = false

    @npm build { arguments = { configuration: var.config } }
    @docker build { }
}

Argument Reference

The following arguments are supported:

• identifier - (Mandatory) Identifier of the target.
• depends_on - (Optional) Override depends_on as defined in WORKSPACE. Same syntax, same effects.
• outputs - (Optional) Override default outputs for this target. By default, the value is the set of outputs from configuration and used extensions in a target.
• rebuild - (Optional) Force rebuild if true. Default to default value defined in WORKSPACE. Default value is false.
• cache - (Optional) Override cacheability of the target. By default, the value is the cacheability of the last command. Possible values are never, local and remote.
• idempotent - (Optional) Consider a target as idempotent (can be rebuilt without impacting dependent). Default value is false.
• commands - (Optional) List of commands to run to complete the target. Syntax is extension command [mapping].
