gulp-mfiles-appdef

Gulp plugin for transforming appdef.json to M-Files appdef.xml.

Installation

npm install gulp-mfiles-appdef

Example

appdef.json:

{
    "guid": "b1915115-931c-4279-86ea-6edb9e5a23b8",
    "name": "M-Files Sample Application",
    "description": "Sample application with a JSON appdef.",
    "environments": {
        "shellui": {
            "files": [ "lib/shellui/**/*.js" ]
        }
    },
    "dashboards": [
        {
            "content": "dashboards/**/*.html",
            "trusted-content": [
                "http://www.m-files.com",
                "http://www.m-files.fi"
            ]
        }
    ]
}

gulpfile.js:

var gulp = require( "gulp" );
var rename = require( "gulp-rename" );
var appdef = require( "gulp-mfiles-appdef" );
 
gulp.task( "build", function() {
 
    return gulp.src( "appdef.json" )
        .pipe( appdef() )
        .pipe( rename( { extname: ".xml" } ) )
        .pipe( gulp.dest( "./build" ) ) );
 
} );

Features

• Simple JSON format over XML
• Glob support for file paths

Also I want overriding values through the gulpfile at some point. For example forcing certain version for the builds by defining it in the gulpfile instead of having to change the appdef file each time.
