ez-revrewrite

Revise filenames by appending a revision hash, and subsequently update any references to the original file accordingly

Installation

npm install --save-dev ez-revrewrite

Usage

Convert a Single File to a Revised Version and Update References

npx rev --rev-pattern source/example.json --rev-dest build --rewrite-pattern template.yaml --rewrite-dest build

This operation involves duplicating source/example.json to build/example.{hash}.json and revising any mentions in template.yaml from example.json to example.{hash}.json

Convert Multiple Files to Revised Versions and Update References

You have the option to provide multiple patterns as input

npx rev --rev-pattern source/example.json --rev-pattern source/another.json --rev-dest build --rewrite-pattern template.yaml --rewrite-pattern other.yaml --rewrite-dest build

This action entails duplicating source/example.json and source/another.json into the build directory, incorporating the corresponding hashes, and revising references to example.json or another.json in both template.yaml and other.yaml to include the revision hashes

Globs

You can use globs.

npx rev --rev-pattern source/*.json --rev-dest build --rewrite-pattern *.yaml --rewrite-dest build

This process involves copying all JSON files from the source directory to the build directory, appending revision hashes to the filenames, and modifying references to these JSON files in any YAML files.

Constraints

This tool operates under the assumption that all revised filenames are unique and does not consider relative paths. If there are multiple occurrences of files with the same name in different directories within the file being rewritten, only the first occurrence will be preserved, potentially overwriting subsequent occurrences.
