Adding it to npm scripts

If you are packaging a project which utilizes npm and has a package.json file, follow the instructions below for adding a SCORM packager to your npm scripts.

1. Create a JavaScript file (typically at the root of your project in the same directory as package.json) scoPackager.js
2. The file should contain code to execute this package. Example:

  var scopackager = require('simple-scorm-packager');
  var path = require('path');

  const config = {
    version: '1.2',
    organization: 'My Amazing Company',
    title: 'Test Course',
    language: 'en-US',
    masteryScore: 80,
    startingPage: 'index.html',
    source: path.join(__dirname, 'build'),
    package: {
      version: process.env.npm_package_version,
      zip: true,
      author: 'Firstname Lastname',
      outputFolder: path.join(__dirname, 'scorm_packages'),
      description: 'A test of the course packaging module',
      keywords: ['scorm', 'test', 'course'],
      typicalDuration: 'PT0H5M0S',
      rights: `©${new Date().getFullYear()} My Amazing Company. All right reserved.`,
      vcard: {
        author: 'Firstname Lastname',
        org: 'My Amazing Company',
        tel: '[phone]',
        address: 'my address',
        mail: '[e-mail]',
        url: 'https://mydomain.com'
      }
    }
  };

  scopackager(config, function(msg){
    console.log(msg);
    process.exit(0);
  });

1. In the scripts portion of your package.json, add the following: "package-scorm": "node scoPackager.js" (replace the .js file name with the name (and path) of the file containing your script from step 2)
2. You can now package your project for SCORM by running npm run package-scorm from the command line.

USE IT AS CLI

if installed globally you can use it directly in command line
