dist-util v1.0.1

dist-util - A simple tool to publish npm packages from the "dist" folder.

dist-util basically does the following:

• copy package.json to the dist folder, and strip and dist folder reference from main, typings, bin, and scripts.
• copy package-lock.json (if exists) to the dist folder.
• copy .npmignore (if exists) to the dist folder.

dist-util assumes the following:

• You have a compilation process to "compile" / "transform" files from your src folders into your dist folders.
• In the source package.json, you refer to dist folder for development.
• dist-util doesn't care whether you test from the src folders or the dist folders.

Install

npm install -g dist-util

Usage

In the root of the package you want to publish, run:

dist-util [-d|--dist-folder <the name fo the "dist" folder>]

Usual Workflow

• Develop in the root folder.
• Compile into the dist folder.
• npm link from the dist folder.
• Run dist-util when ready.
• cd dist folder and npm publish.
