@veonim/ripgrep-win v0.0.1

ripgrep

This is my lazy approach on how to include binary dependencies in the Veonim project.

The code sees this:

import Ripgrep from '@veonim/ripgrep'

And the build process uses a platform specific binary:

npm i -SE @veonim/ripgrep@0.5.2-mac
npm i -SE @veonim/ripgrep@0.5.2-win
npm i -SE @veonim/ripgrep@0.5.2-linux

In this way, I accomplish the following goals:

• don't check in binary dependencies in veonim project (although they are checked in this repo. lol i was lazy ok - shh be quiet)
• no runtime platform check to load a specific binary dependency
• no other platform binaries included in build output
• install via npm, control versioning via package.json
• can build in CI
• maintain laziness

If you have a better idea complain loudly.

development

in development it would be a good idea to install @veonim/ripgrep-dev. this will use the optionalDependencies feature of npm to bring in a platform specific binary package. this should only be used for current platform development

upgrade process

make changes bump version in mac + linux + win package.json npm publish main package.json (if modified) npm publish each os package
