Build Configuration

A collection of configuration files for transpilation and building.

Installation

npm install --save-dev @edahlseng/configuration-build

Usage

After installing, run npx configuration-build setup [build-types] to set up configuration for the desired build-types.

Available build-types:

• javascript-browser (or js-browser)
• javascript-module (or js-module)
• javascript-node (or js-node)

Example

Running npx configuration-build setup js-module will add a babel key to a project's package.json file as well as the build script, configuring Babel to transpile the module's source into a dist/ folder.

API

This tool can be extended for use in a custom configuration library. To do so, create a file that can be run as a Node executable, and pass in an options object and the process global object to the setup function exported by this module:

#!/usr/bin/env node

import { setup } from '@eric.dahlseng/configuration-build';

setup({ process, options: { /* options here */}}).fork(console.error, () => {});

The options object should be a map where the keys are build types, and the values are objects with the following fields:

• alternateNames (optional): An array of alternate names for the build type. This is useful for specifying abbreviations.
• configurationFiles (optional): An array of objects containing a path and content
• jsonData (optional): An array of objects containing filePath, dataPath, and content
