CLI
The packager is distributed on NPM as a CLI, you can install it:

npm i -D @crabnebula/packager
You then need to configure your app so the CLI can recognize it.
Configuration can be done in Packager.toml
or packager.json
in your project or packager
key in packager.json
Once, you are done configuring your app, run:
# pnpm
pnpm packager
# yarn
yarn packager
# npm
npx packager
Configuration
By default, the packager reads its configuration from Packager.toml
or packager.json
if it exists, and from packager.json
key in packager.json
,
You can also specify a custom configuration using the -c/--config
cli argument.
For a full list of configuration options, see https://docs.rs/cargo-packager/latest/cargo_packager/config/struct.Config.html.
You could also use the schema file from GitHub to validate your configuration or have auto completions in your IDE.
Building your application before packaging
By default, the packager doesn't build your application, so if your app requires a compilation step, the packager has an option to specify a shell command to be executed before packaing your app, beforePackagingCommand
.
Library
The packager is also a library that you can import and integrate into your tooling.
