deploy-static

This is a command built with Node.js to facilitate deployment of static files.

Installation

$ npm i deploy-static -g

Usage

Before deployment, you should upload your static files somewhere and build a list in static.json.

static.json may be an array of {url, path} items, or an object with a files property containing such an array.

{
  "version": "v1.0",
  "files": [{
    "url": "http://my.storage.com/assets/app.js",
    "path": "assets/app.js"
  }, {
    "url": "assets/app.css",
    "path": "assets/app.css"
  }]
}

Each item has a remote url and local path mapping. urls can be both absolute or relative paths.

Then deploy your static files with the command below.

$ deploy-static fetch static.json -t v1.0 -p http://my.storage.com/

After that you will get directory architecture like this:

▾ ./
  ▸ current/ -> versions/v1.0/     # symlink to current version
  ▸ versions/
    ▸ v0.8/
    ▸ v0.9/
    ▸ v1.0/                        # latest version

The latest version will be linked to ./current while the history versions are kept in ./versions so that you can easily rollback.

Note that if the url is relative, the prefix parameter must be assigned. static.json is also an url, either absolute or relative.
