httpignore v3.0.2
httpignore
This is a utility and CLI for interfacing with httpignore files.
A word on httpignore files
I made them up (thanks to @lund0n for the inspiration). I wanted a way to be
able to serve up files from my node_modules directory but to allow individual
modules to mark things which, while they are published, ought not to be served
over HTTP.
My use case was for a private npm registry where I don't mind if internal people can see, say, our README.md files, but I don't want all our internal documentation to be customer facing.
The approach is simple and should be very familiar if you've used a .npmignore
or a .gitignore file. It follows all the same rules as those files. In this
case they define what files ought not be served over HTTP.
Installation
npm install httpignore. All the normal flags apply.
API
ignored()
Returns a promise which resolves with an array of all the filters that are being
applied via the httpignore files.
files()
Returns a promise which resolves with an array of all files which are allowed after the filters are applied.
copy(dest)
Returns a promise which resolves once all files from the files call are
copied to the directory dest. If dest does not exist, it will create it.
CLI
Usage:
httpignore-copy <dest>Performs the copy api method on the directory specified by dest. Paths are
relative to the current working directory.
Development
A standard npm install and npm test will get you running here. Please merge
squash PRs.
