customize-write-files

Post-processor that stores the result of a customize-run in a local directory

The customize module is a framework for creating overridable configurations for different engines. It is, in principle, designed to be platform independent (that's actually only half-true). Engines running in customize always return file-contents as JavaScript-object in the form

{
  'engineName': {
    'file.txt': 'contents of the file',
    'subdir/file.txt': 'contents of the other file'
  }

The contents of the file may be one of the following

• A string (to be stored in the file utf-8-encoded)
• A buffer
• A readable stream.

The goal of customize-write-files is to act as an NodeJS-adapter for customize and store the result of customize in a local directory structure.

NodeJS compatibility notes

This package will always support the latest version of NodeJS and as well as the current LTS version. In the future, it will not be considered a breaking change to drop support of a pre-LTS version of NodeJS.

Installation

npm install customize-write-files

Usage

The following example demonstrates how to use this module:

var customize = require('customize')
var write = require('customize-write-files')

// Load files from one directory and merge with second
customize()
  .registerEngine('less', require('customize-engine-less'))
  // Add one less file
  .merge({
    less: {
      main: require.resolve('./main.less')
    }
  })
  .run()
  // Write contents to the "target"-directory
  .then(write('target'))
  // Output the names of the files being written
  .then(console.log)

This will generate the following output

[ 'target/main.css', 'target/main.css.map' ]
