@igloosoftware/ig-deploy v0.5.5

ig-deploy

Igloo CLI deploy module. Deploy integrations & themes for the Igloo Platform.

Setup

This module can be used in isolation. For developers looking to forgo using the Igloo CLI and create their own application structure, you can use this module to deploy your app.

Add it to your project as a dependency:

# OS X terminal or Windows Command Prompt
npm install --save @igloosoftware/ig-deploy

Require it in your app:

const igDeploy = require('@igloosoftware/ig-deploy');

Config

const options = {
  credentials: {
    "account": "",
    "key": "",
    "url": "",
    "provider": ""
  },
  type: 'integration',
  distPath: 'path/to/my-app',
  tmpPath: 'path/to/tmp-folder',
  testRun: false
}

Available Commands

Deploy

This publishes your project to the provided third-party storage provider. Based on the type parameter, it will publish to associated container. For example, type: 'integration' would expect the container integrations to exist.

const igDeploy = require('@igloosoftware/ig-deploy');
const credentials = require('../path/to/credentials.json');

const options = {
  credentials: credentials,
  type: 'integration',
  distPath: './path/to/dist'
}

igDeploy.deploy(options);

Undeploy

This will remove your project from the provided third-party storage provider. It will remove it (based on the provided descriptor id) from the manifest JSON file in the root of the container. It does not however remove the package files, this would require manual deletion through your provider's portal. Different from deploy, you need to pass the id of our asset. Example implementation below where we require the path to the descriptor JSON file.

const igDeploy = require('@igloosoftware/ig-deploy');
const credentials = require('../path/to/credentials.json');
const descriptor = require('../path/to/dist/integration.json');

const options = {
  credentials: credentials,
  type: 'integration',
  id: descriptor.id,
  distPath: './path/to/dist'
}

igDeploy.undeploy(options);

Validate

This function is invoked as part of deploy, and helps ensure what you're publishing matches the signatures that the Igloo platform expects. It will validate the following:

• that the provided type parameter is supported. Currently we support integrations & themes
• that your projects folder structure is correct. Read more about folder structure for each type below.
• the descriptor JSON file matches the required fields. Read more about descriptors for each type below.

the Validate command is also available on its own, but only requires a sub-set of the original options object:

const igDeploy = require('@igloosoftware/ig-deploy');

igDeploy.validate({
  type: 'integration',
  distPath: 'path/to/dist'
});

Integrations

Folder Structure

This folder is specified in the options object via distPath. It must contain the follow 4 files:

## Your dist folder
integration.json

Descriptor - groups Array

The groups property is represented as an array of objects. Each object represents a group heading that can be used to create logical separation for larger lists of userConfig options.
