Tasks generator for NPM

Installation

npm install runner-generator-npm

Usage

Add to the scope:

const generator = require('runner-generator-npm');

Generate tasks according to the given config:

const tasks = generator({
    target: 'target-folder',
    onPublish: function ( done ) {
        done(null, require('./package.json'));
    }
});

Add generated tasks to the runner instance:

const runner = require('runner');

Object.assign(runner.tasks, tasks);

The following tasks will become available:

Task name	Description
npm:config	prints the current configuration used for generated tasks
npm:publish	publishes the package

Generator accepts two arguments: base configuration and additional options.

Base configuration

It's an object with the following properties:

Name	Description
onPublish	user callback executed before actual publishing to get the data which will be written to the package.json file
target	folder in which the package.json file will be created
command	publish command which executes after writing package.json file

Additional options

It's an object with the following properties:

Name	Description
prefix	an affix placed before a task name (default is npm:)
suffix	a string added at the end of a task name (empty by default)

So it's possible to change generated tasks names:

Object.assign(runner.tasks,
    generator(config, {
        prefix: 'package:',
        suffix: ':develop'
    })
);

It will add the following task:

• package:publish:develop
