truffle-conflux-box

Truffle Box management functionality.

Handles behavior for unboxing a new project from a predefined Truffle Box.

Usage

const TruffleBox = require("truffle-conflux-box");
 
// `truffle-conflux-box` prompts when unboxing into non-empty directories & before potential overwrites
// a `force` option can be passed to force unboxing. default is false
const unboxOptions = { force: false };
 
// .unbox() validates & unboxes truffle box repos
// pass the current working directory as directory to unbox into
TruffleBox.unbox("https://github.com/trufflesuite/truffle-init-default", process.cwd(), unboxOptions);
 
// or specify relative path to unbox into (path must already exist)
TruffleBox.unbox("https://github.com/trufflesuite/truffle-init-default", "some/relativePath", unboxOptions);
 

Box Configuration

Truffle Boxes are configured via a required truffle-conflux-box.json file in the box repo's root directory.

This box configuration file specifies an object containing the following properties:

• ignore

  A list of relative paths to files that should be removed upon box unpack. Useful to remove box READMEs or other artifacts that pertain to box but not the set-up Truffle project.

  Example:

  "ignore": [
    "README.md",
    ".gitignore"
  ]

• commands

  An object mapping supported behaviors for project to invoked command strings.

  truffle unbox prints commands to screen upon unboxing for documentation purposes.

  Example:

  "commands": {
    "compile": "truffle compile",
    "migrate": "truffle migrate",
    "test": "truffle test"
  }

• hooks

  An object to specify commands to run at particular steps in the unbox process. Maps strings identifying individual hooks to command strings.

  Example:

  "hooks": {
    "post-unpack": "npm install"
  }

Available Unbox Hooks

• post-unpack

  If provided, runs command after box files are fetched and cleaned up for a new project.

  Commonly useful to install dependencies, e.g.
