Pure-Publish

Publish node packages with a purified 'package.json'

Install

npm install pure-publish -D

Usage

pure-publish [command]

Command publish

This is the default command.

A tarball is created and published to the registry using the command

npm publish <tarball>

The tarball is deleted after running npm publish.

Command pack

A tarball file of the package is created. The file 'package.json' inside of this tarball is purified.

Command pure

The file 'package.json' is purified. The original file is copied to 'package.json.backup'.

Command restore

The file 'package.json' is restored from a previously saved backup - see command pure above. The backup file is deleted.

Command run <cmd>

After 'package.json' is purified the specifed <cmd> is executed. Afterwards the original version of 'package.json' is restored.

Options

--suffix <sfx>

Instead of 'package.json.backup' the backup file will be named 'package.json<sfx>'

--tarball <path>

Alternative path for the generated tarball. If the file name is '*' it will be replaced by the standard name. For example:

pure-publish pack --tarball "./.pack/*"

--dry-run

Do nothing - show only what would be done. Also dump the purified version of 'package.json'.
