Phaser 3 Pack File Generator

WARNING

This is still a work in progress. Until complete, it will not write a file; however, you can pipe the output to a file.

This script generates a File Pack in JSON form according to the framework definition.

Features

Generates a Pack File based on organization of asset files, using a configuration file to shape output.

Usage

This script requires a configuration file following the following structure:

{
  "extensions?": string // optional comma-separated list of allowed file extensions, default action is not to filter by extension
  "targets": [
    {
      "key": string // unique key to describe set of targeted files
      "basePath": string // which directory to search
      "hint"?: ["audio"|"image"|"bitmapFont"] // optionally assert asset type
      "extensions"?: string // comma separated list of allowed file extensions, takes precedence over higher-level definition
      "ignoredPaths"?: RegExp|RegExp[]
    },
    {
     // additional targets
    }
   ]
}

For assets that are not automatically inferred, you'll probably want to take advantage of hint options.

Invocation:

npx  @paxperscientiam/generate-phaser3-filepack <configfile.json>

Notes

This script does NOT write anything to file; it's up to you to do so.

Is you set a "hint", it's assumed accurate.

Auto inferred types

• atlas
• atlasXML
• audioSprite
• htmlTexture
• multiatlas
• obj
• spritesheet
• tilemapCSV
• tilemapImpact
• tilemapTiledJSON
• unityAtlas
• audio (:IPhaserFilePackGenericAsset)
• binary (:IPhaserFilePackBinaryAsset)
• css
• glsl
• html
• image (:IPhaserFilePackGenericAsset)
• json
• svg
• text
• video
• xml

Hint-reliant types

• atlas
• bitmapFont
• css
• html
• json
• svg
• text
• xml

Improvements

• add mode to merge new with pre-existing
• add check to prevent changing keys of unmoved files
• filter out commonsystem and temp files. EG .DS_Store
• post process adjustments.
  • allow set asBlob and noAudio in post-processing.
• use phaser's type for development testing

Bugs

• only selectively collapse asset set (EG: collapse audio, but not toher types with files with same file-basenames)
• filter out unknowns explicitly
• review warnings about key uniqueness. EG this on videos.
