build-dir

Get a place to put your build

Why?

• Fast and convenient, easy to set up.
• Namespaces builds in a human-friendly manner.
• Encourages cache-safe URLs.
• Uses a solid convention, build/<branch>/<version>.
• Gracefully handles edge cases for git branches.

Install

npm install build-dir --save

Usage

Get it into your program.

const buildDir = require('build-dir');

Get a path to use when writing the build.

buildDir.get().then((dirPath) => {
    console.log('Build directory:', dirPath);
});

Set up convenient latest-build and branch-specific latest links.

buildDir.link().then(() => {
    console.log('Linking complete.')
    // latest-build -> build/<branch>/latest -> build/<branch>/<version>
});

Let us manage the lifecycle steps for you.

buildDir.prepare().then((dir) => {
    // Put stuff in here:
    console.log('Temp dir:', dir.path);

    // ... some time later ...

    // Move the temp dir to its permanent home and set up
    // latest links.
    return dir.finalize();
});
