Introduction

This tool builds a single json object (tree) which contains all json files inside a root folder. The tree will accurately represent the folder structure within.

Usage

1. Install the packager

npm i --save-dev opus-ui-packager

2. Add the config to your package.json file

"opusPackagerConfig": {
	"appDir": "app",
	"packagedDir": "public",
	"packagedFileName": "app"
}

appDir: The folder in which your application JSON is stored, relative to your package.json file packagedDir: In which folder the packaged JSON file will be stored packagedFileName: The name of the packaged JSON file

3. Build your JSON package

node node_modules/opus-ui-packager/src/packager.js

4. Setting up automatic builds during development

While, optional, it is recommended that you do the following so that your package can automatically be rebuilt when needed:

1. Install nodemon

npm i --save-dev nodemon

2. Set up your nodemon config in the package.json file

"nodemonConfig": {
	"ignore": [],
	"watch": [
		"%yourAppDir%"
	],
	"ext": "js,json,md",
	"ignoreRoot": [],
	"delay": 100
}

3. Run nodemon to automatically rebuild your JSON package when needed

nodemon node_modules/opus-ui-packager/src/packager.js
