node-pre-gyp-github

A node-pre-gyp module which provides the ability to publish to GitHub releases.

Usage

Instead of node-pre-gyp publish use node-pre-gyp-github publish

Options

  • --release : Publish the GitHub Release immediately instead of creating a Draft.

ex. node-pre-gyp-github publish --release

Install

npm install -g node-pre-gyp-github

Configuration

This module is intended to be used with node-pre-gyp. Therefore, be sure to configure and install node-pre-gyp first. After having done that, within package.json update the binary property host so it matches the following format:

https://github.com/{owner}/{repo}/releases/download/{1.0.1}

Be sure to replace {owner}, {repo}, {1.0.1} with actual values.

WARNING: Variable substitutions are not supported on the host property so you will have to manually update the version number with every change. Failure to do so will result in users installing the wrong binary versions.

Tip: Since the version number will be included within the host you can ommit it from the package name.

Within GitHub, create a new authorization:

  1. go to Settings
  2. click Personal access tokens
  3. click Generate new token
  4. Select all checkboxes (in a future update I will specify which precise checkboxes are needed, but for now...)
  5. Generate Token
  6. copy the key that's generated and set NODE_PRE_GYP_GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable to it. Within your command prompt:
SET NODE_PRE_GYP_GITHUB_TOKEN=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Example (Publish to GitHub as a Draft Release)

  1. node-pre-gyp configure
  2. node-pre-gyp build
  3. node-pre-gyp package
  4. node-pre-gyp-github publish

Example (Publish to GitHub as a Release)

  1. node-pre-gyp configure
  2. node-pre-gyp build
  3. node-pre-gyp package
  4. node-pre-gyp-github publish --release
