cb-packer

A very lightweight utility to make interacting with Hashicorp's Packer easier

Goal

Allow simple interaction with Packer from Node. Inspired by node-packer. If you need a more complete solution you may want to take a look at that module.

Installation

npm install cb-packer --save

Samples

Read a packer file and interact with settings

var file = new PackerFile();
file.Read('./filename.json', function() {
	console.log(file.variables.variable1);
	file.variables.variable2 = 'new value';
});

Save changes to a packer file

file.Write('./newFileName.json', function() {
	console.log('File saved.');
});

Run packer

file.on('stdout', function(data) {
	console.log(`${data}`);
});
file.on('stderr', function(data) {
	console.error(`${data}`);
});
file.on('error', function(data) {
	console.error(`${data}`);
});		

file.Run(function(artifacts) {
	console.log(`First artifact ID: ${artifacts[0].id}`);
});
