gulp-mu-aspx-installer

Packs a gulp file stream into a single self-extracting installer ASPX script.

All piped files are ZIP-compressed (file names are flattened to MD5 keys to avoid Windows/UTF-8 ZIP issues, with a separate JSON manifest mapping them back), the ZIP is base64-encoded and embedded into an ASPX template together with version, build and configuration data. The resulting *.aspx unpacks and installs the application on the target .NET/IIS server.

Install

npm install --save-dev gulp-mu-aspx-installer

Usage

import installer from 'gulp-mu-aspx-installer';

function buildInstaller() {
	return gulp.src('./package/**')
		.pipe(installer({
			packageName: 'MyApp.aspx',
			build: BUILD,          // e.g. "Production" | "Test"
			builds: BUILDS,        // builds[<build>].packageinstaller.aspx + configurator
			releases: RELEASES     // [{ main, minor, revision, beta }]
		}))
		.pipe(gulp.dest('./out/'));
}
