pkgsetuphelper:

Information:

This is a utility module for projects that use pkg. This package is designed to make setting pkg up with your packages easier in cases where:

• You have pkg globally installed, but some environments prevent you from calling global NPM packages from command line
• The main entry point for your built application needs to be the main entry file listed in your package.json, and you only need to target windows
• No additional assets need to be bundled with you packaged application that are not automatically included by pkg

Installation:

npm install pkgsetuphelper

Usage:

To automatically configure your package.json to add a command to build your application: Add the following line of code near the start of our package's main entry point:

require('pkgsetuphelper').setupPKG('applicationNameHere');

This will automatically add a script named pkg to your package that builds your application:

• After this script has been added, you are free to either leave the above code snippet in or remove it
• I recommend leaving this snippet in your application to ensure your pkg script always works properly

You can then package your app using the following command:

npm run pkg
