hash-files-cmd

A wrapper around hash-files.

• designed to be used for scripting in the windows shell (cmd)
• compares the calculated hash with a stored hash
• exits with a non-zero exit code if the hashes are not equal

Installation

npm install hash-files

Usage

./bin/hash-files-cmd --files package.json --hash-file .package.json.hash

Specify one or more globs to create the hash for: --files fileOrGlob1, [fileOrGlob2, ...]

Define a filename for the hash: --hash-file fileName

Approach

1. calculates the hash for the given --files (file(s)/glob(s)()
2. tries to read the old hash from the given --hash-file
3. stores the calculated hash in the given hash-file
4. exits with an error code of -1 if
   1. hash-file did not exist before
   2. the old hash differs from the current hash
5. exits without an error if the hashes are equal

Limitations

Commandline parameters for hash-files are not exposed.
