zillion-box

zillion Box management functionality.

Provides behavior for unboxing a new project from a predefined zillion Box.

Box Configuration

zillion Boxes are configured via an optional zillion-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 zillion project.

  Example:

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

• commands

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

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

  Example:

  "commands": {
    "compile": "zillion compile",
    "migrate": "zillion migrate",
    "test": "zillion 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.
