orpin-cli

The cli interface for orpin

About

orpin helps to manage npm packages in your web (read: browser) projects by keeping the <script> tags within your <head></head> element in sync with the versions in your package.json file. Currently orpin only supports jsdelivr for fetching any packages and as the url in the src attribute for the injected script tag.

Configuration

orpin can be configured either via a config file .orpinrc or from flags passed to the cli.

orpin also depends on a file called package.json to know which version of files to get from the cdn. The package.json file should be located in the same directory as .orpinrc. The pacakge.json should have a key dependencies which is an object whose keys match the keys in packages within .orpinrc and the value is the semver compatible version number to use.

`.orpinrc`

The following are the accepted values for an `.orpinrc.

anchorSelector

A valid dom selector to some element in the indexFile which tells orpin where to inject the script tags for the packages. orpin always injects before the anchorSelector. cheerio is used for querying and manipulating the dom.

indexFile

A path to an html file where the script tags for the packages will be injected.

packages

Each packages represents an npm package to download from cdnjs. Each package can specify three options path and devPath is where to find the file you want from the cdn; the url looks like:

https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/package@version/file

The devPath takes precedency over path when it has been supplied a value and the environment variable PRODUCTION is not set. This is useful for when npm packges have production and development versions you would like to use (e.g React):

{
    "packages": {
        "devPath": "umd/react.development.js",
        "path": "umd/react.production.js"
    }
}

vendorPath

A path to a directory where downloaded files will saved.

orpin will create the vendorPath if is does not already exist but will throw an error if the path exists and the current user does not have read and write permissions

vendorSrcPrefix

A string representing what the src attribute will be for the script tags injected into indexFile

A typical .orpinrc looks like:

{
  "anchorSelector": "script[src='js/something.js']",
  "indexFile": "public/index.html",
  "vendorPath": "public/assets/vendor",
  "vendorSrcPrefix": "assets/vendor",
  "packages": {
    "dompurify": {
      "path": "dist/purify.js"
    },
    "localforage": {
      "devPath": "dist/localforage.js",
      "path": "dist/localforage.min.js"
    },
    "lodash.debounce": {
      "skip": true
    }
  }
}
