• publishDir: Where do you want the static files to end up? Any existing files will be deleted. default: './publish'

• publicDir: Directory containing assets that should be copied to publishDir. default: './public'

• serverConfig: An object containing hostname and port. default: { hostname: 'localhost', port: '3456'}

• verbose: Log what's happening. default: false

callback will be called when it's done or there's an error.

Examples

Sample usage:

process.env.NODE_ENV = 'staging';

var freezeray = require('freezeray'),
	express = require('express'),

app.use(app.router);

app.get('/', function(req, res) {
	res.end('Test');
});

	publishDir: __dirname + '/publish',
	publicDir: __dirname + '/public'
