reapack v1.1.11

Command-line (Node.js module) for ReaPack index file generation

This is an index generator and release manager for a ReaPack collection (REAPER effects, themes, etc.) hosted on a static site (e.g. GitHub Pages, or your own web-server). It is written in Node (JavaScript).

How it works

The state is stored in reapack.json, and this is used to generate the index.xml used by ReaPack. (Do not modify index.xml, your changes will be overwritten.)

Each release copies the applicable files to a new release folder, with a JSON file (reapack-version.json) describing that release. To create index.xml, the directory is scanned for reapack-version.json files.

How to install

npm install -g reapack

If a global install (-g) doesn't work, then you can do a local install, and instead of just running reapack, run node node_modules/reapack.

How to use it

The command-line attempts to be intuitive (use --help on any command to get more information), but here are some examples to get started:

View the index and list all packages:

> reapack index

Geraint's JSFX
--------------
README: README.md
links:
           website:     https://geraintluff.github.io/jsfx/
packages:
        Bad Connection (effect in "Distortion")
        Dual Distortion (effect in "Distortion")
        Spectrum Matcher (effect in "Utility")

View a package:

> reapack package "Bad Connection"
Bad Connection
--------------
type:           effect
category:       Distortion
version:        1.0.1
files:
        Bad Connection.jsfx
        ui-lib.jsfx-inc
links:
        screenshot: Bad Connection.png

Add/remove files:

> reapack package "Bad Connection" --add "some-file.jsfx" --remove "other-file.jsfx"

Simulate a ReaPack install (useful when developing your effects):

> reapack install C:\Users\Geraint\AppData\Roaming\REAPER

TODO

There are some missing features (e.g. a command to add links, remove/rename packages), which at the moment are only possible by editing reapack.json by hand.
