alfred-link

Make your Alfred workflows installable from npm

Install

$ npm install --save alfred-link

Usage

Add the alfred-link command as postinstall script of your Alfred package.

{
  "name": "alfred-unicorn",
  "scripts": {
    "postinstall": "alfred-link"
  }
}

You can now install the alfred-unicorn package like this

$ npm install -g alfred-unicorn.

This will update info.plist with the information from package.json and creates a unicorn symlink inside the Alfred workflows directory that points to the location of the alfred-unicorn module.

info.plist

This package will update the info.plist file when the workflow is being installed. The following properties in info.plist can be safely omitted. The corresponding values in package.json are added to the plist file.

info.plist	package.json
name	name
version	version
description	description
createdby	author.name
webaddress	author.url

Note: If the workflow is prefixed by alfred-, that prefix is being removed in the name of info.plist. For example, alfred-unicorn becomes unicorn.
