Finalizer

CLI client for Finalizer Server. Prepares and downloads npm builds without stressing your site. This project is still under development. Things will break.

Installation

After setting up your npm build server with Finalizer Server. Install this CLI client globally

npm install -g finalizer

Configuration

Make sure that you have a finalizer.json file on the root of your project (the same location as the package.json) that specifies the url on which the build server can be accessed.

{
  "baseUrl": "http://finalizer.myurl.com"
}

Creating a project

This command will create (or link) the current project to the build server. This should be done only once. Once the project is created it will trigger the first build on the server.

• <name> Project name. The name used here will be stored on the server for later access.

finalizer create <name>

Download latest build

This will download the latest npm dependencies from the build server. The project must exist already on the build server, created with the create command.

finalizer download <name>

This command will:

• Download the dependencies in a compressed .tar file.
• Extract them and run npm rebuild to relink these dependencies.

Build project

This command will trigger a new build on the build server. The project must exist already on the build server, created with the create command.

finalizer build <name>

If the package.json has not changed since the last build, the build will not be created. This will prevent the creation of innecesary builds on the server.

Initialize project

This command will create a basic finalizer.json file with default settings on the project directory.

finalizer init

Check connection to build server

This will make a basic http request to the build server to make sure that a connection to it is correctly established.

finalizer check
