dassets

dassets

Projects deployed across multiple channels often require one-off assets for each channel. For example, a game could be distributed on a website, on Android, or as a Facebook app. As the number of distribution channels increases, it becomes difficult to remember which project assets are meant to be copied to which channel. This command line is intended to help organize files and determine if any are missing.

Project Goals

1. Define a configuration file for listing project assets and grouping them by channel name.

2. Provide a command line interface that will answer these questions.

• What assets are required by a channel? dassets --in [channel name] --in [channel name]
• Do all of the assets exist? Where some files renamed or deleted? dassets --in [channel name] --missing

3. Enable installation via a global npm package.

Install

npm install -g dassets

You can also checkout the repo and then run npm install -g in the project root.

project-assets.yml

The project-assets.yml file should contain a list of objects that have "name" and "paths" properties. name is a string, and paths is an array. You can generate a new config file using dassets --create or paste the following in project-assets.yml manually:

- name: development
  paths:
    - development.html
- name: production
  paths:
    - production.html
    - credentials/auth.json

Command Line Referrence

dassets [-i name] [-m]

Before using, you should create project-assets.yml file in project root and use
command.js anywhere above it.

-m, --missing  Show only missing assets                              [boolean]
-c, --create   Create an example project-assets.yml file if one doesn't
               already exist                                         [boolean]

Examples:
dassets                          list all assets in all channels
dassets -m                       show missing assets in all channels
dassets -i production            list all assets in the 'production' channel
dassets -i production -i dev -m  list all missing assets in the
                                 'production' and 'dev' channels
