pack-dir

PackDir

Pack specified directory with native current OS command line tools.

Main purpose for this lib was to pack the Electron app.
So, by default, if specified path has a darwin in it's name, the directory will be packed as DMG under OS X.

Usage

Get the package via NPM: npm install pack-dir.

const Pack = require('pack-dir');

// Set custom DMG RegEx, default is `/darwin/`.
Pack.param('dmg', /osx/);

// Pack the directory
let zipPath = Pack.path('some/test/dir');
// Extract to directory
let extractedPath = Pack.extract(zipPath, 'some/destination');

// Async example
Pack.param('isSync', false);
let zipPath = Pack.path('some/test/dir', (error, stdout, stderr) => {
  // ...
});

Parameters

• dmg boolean|RegEx, check to pack into DMG instead of ZIP.
• dmgFormat string, the hdiutil -format parameter value (docs).
• isSilent boolean, false, will write only Errors to console.
• isSync boolean, true, synchronous packaging.
