sfxbundler

node-sfxbundler

node-sfxbundler is a Node module wrapper around the touchifyapp/sfx binary.

Getting Started

node-sfxbundler works as a wrapper around the sfx bundler. It abstracts the commands' switches with JS object abstraction.

Installation

node-sfxbundler can be installed using NPM:

$ npm install sfxbundler --save

Usage

First import node-sfxbundler in your project:

var sfxbundler = require("sfxbundler");

Then use sfxbundler's commands:

sfxbundler.bundle("path/to/my.exe", "path/to/dir", { id: "my.app.id", version: "1.2.3", arch: "i386" });

node-sfxbundler uses native Promise to wrap asynchronous operations and resolves with the result of the command:

sfxbundler.bundle("path/to/my.exe", { certificate: "path/to/my/cert.pfx", password: "*******" });
	.then(result => {
		result.code 	// The sfx bundler exit code.
		result.stdout 	// The sfx bundler stdout content.
		result.stderr	// The sfx bundler stderr content.
	});

Command-line

node-sfxbundler can work as a simple wrapper around touchifyapp/sfx.

# Install module globally
$ npm install sfxbundler -g

# Run module from command line
$ sfxbundler -exe path/to/sfx.exe -dir path/to/dir -id my.app.id
