@hz-9/pkg-build

A tool for run pkg to package Node.js service or tool.

Introduction

Why create @hz-9/pkg-build instead of directly use pkg ?

@hz-9/pkg-build still utilizes pkg for packaging operations without optimizations. @hz-9/pkg-build provides the following functionalities:

1. Supports buildName and buildVersion parameters. Default, it will read them from the package.json file.
2. The output artifacts will be rename ${name}-${version}-${platform}-${arch} format.

Installation

npm install --global @hz-9/pkg-build

Usage

Get help:

pkg-build --help

Minimal execution:

pkg-build

With config file:

pkg-build --config ./.hz-9.conf.json

Please see config file description to learn how to write .hz-9.conf.json.

Parameters

-r, --root

The execution path, default is process.cwd(). This parameter will affects the reading of the package.json file and the resolution of other relative paths.

-c, --config

The path to the configuration file. If omitted, the configuration file is not read.

The command-line parameters have higher priority than configuration file parameters.

--build-name

The name part of the build output filename. If omitted, it will read name parameter from package.json. If package.json cannot be found or parsed correctly, it will default to 'unknown'.

--build-version

The version part of the build output filename. If omitted, it will read version parameter from package.json. If package.json cannot be found or parsed correctly, it will default to '0.0.0'.

--targets

The targets parameter when execution pkg. This is detail.

If export multi platforms, use , to separate them.(eg: linux-64,win-x64) If omitted, it is linux-x64.

--input-path

The entry file path when execution pkg. If ommited, it is ./src/index.js.

--output-path

The output folder path when execution pkg. If ommited, it is ./build.

The --config, --input-path, and --output-path parameters can all accept relative or absolute paths. Relative paths will be resolved using the root parameter as the base path.

Config file

The configuration file support jsonc format. All parameters are prefixed with pkg.

eg: Read buildName parameter, will read the value of pkg.buildName from the configuration file.

This is a template for a configuration file:

{
  "pkg": {
    "inputPath": "dist/main.js",
    "buildName": "service",
    "version": "0.0.0",
    "targets": [
      "linux-x64"
    ]
  }
}

pkg.buildName

Equivalent to --build-name. Has lower priority than command-line arguments.

pkg.buildVersion

Equivalent to --build-version. Has lower priority than command-line arguments.

pkg.targets

Equivalent to --targets. Has lower priority than command-line arguments.

pkg.inputPath

Equivalent to --input-path. If a relative path is provided，it will be resolved using the path where the config folder is located as the base path.

pkg.outputPath

Equivalent to --output-path. If a relative path is provided，it will be resolved using the path where the config folder is located as the base path.

pkg.scripts

Since scripts are fixed information in the project, we do not plan to support scripts parameters in command-line.

pkg.assets

Since assets are fixed information in the project, we do not plan to support assets parameters in command-line.
