pypre v3.0.0

pypre is an npm binary package for preconfiguring files.

install

npm install -g pypre

usage

create package.json file in the directory where you have files to preconfigure:

npm init -y

go to the root of your project and run :

npm link

then back to the child directory, run:

npm link [name-of-your-parent-project]

navigate to the directory where you have files you want to preconfigure and create a single .pypre.json file containing the keys:

{
  "filename": "yourfilename",
  "vars": {
    "var1": "value1",
    "var2": "value2",
    ...
  }
}

add a [yourfilename].preconfig.[some-extension] file, with the following placeholders whereever you need them

$preconfigure_[here include the name of your placeholder, without the brackets and only letters]$

in the child package.json add:

"scripts": {
  "pypre": "pypre && python3 pypre.py && rm pypre.py"
}

run pypre where [yourfilename].preconfig.[some-extension] is

npm run pypre

this should generate a configured file with the name specified in your .pypre.json and placeholders filled in
