Glitch-Static-Build-Cache

Easy to use CLI command to get Glitch to re-use past builds if nothing has changed, for projects that build a static site output.

This is really just a wrapper around my other package, static-build-cache.

Installation

Install how you would normally install packages. If you are on Glitch, see these instructions.

Usage

Usage pretty much mirrors static-build-cache. The only extra options are currently:

Option (CLI) | Option (JS) | Default | Description --- | --- | --- | --- --skipDetection | skipDetection | false | Skip is "is on glitch" detection, and always treat as if it is. --bailOnNonGlitch | bailOnNonGlitch | false | If this is run outside of Glitch, would you like the program to bail with an error? If so, it will prevent chained commands from running.

Usage Example

Package.json before using:

{
	"scripts": {
		"start": "react-scripts start",
		"build": "react-scripts build",
		"test": "react-scripts test",
		"eject": "react-scripts eject"
	}
}

After:

{
	"scripts": {
		"start": "glitch-cache && react-scripts start",
		"build": "react-scripts build",
		"test": "react-scripts test",
		"eject": "react-scripts eject"
	}
}

With the above config, the same project on Glitch can be executed locally as well; on Glitch it will build and serve, but locally it will just run the next command react-scripts start.

Development

• Recommended that you use the prettier VSCode extension
• Use yarn fix to format code

Change Notes

Version | Date | Notes --- | --- | --- v1.0.0 | 09/16/2020 | Initial Release 🚀

Known Issues

Uptime, package re-installs, and container resets are a bit of a grey area with Glitch; there are some known issues and undocumented behaviors. In the case that your container experiences a reset, where packages are re-installed, you might find that using this tool barely reduces your startup time.

Unfortunately, in those instances, there is not much I can do to improve things, besides suggesting that you pay to upgrade to a boosted Glitch plan.
