thunderbird v0.2.8

🌩💥🐦 Thunderbird

Converts a curriculum from a structure.xml file and a bunch of folders into a curriculum.json. Adds UUIDs, merges metadata, and creates the curriculum tree.

Installation

npm install -g thunderbird

Usage

thunderbird --help

In most cases, you just need to run the default thunderbird in a curriculum directory.

Updating

thunderbird checks for new versions of itself on npm every time it runs.

Development

To run thunderbird locally, you'll need gulp to be installed globally:

npm install -g gulp

You can run the local, development version of thunderbird by running:

node -v # 6.10
node thunderbird.js

You'll probably want to run thunderbird from inside a curriclum directory. From inside a curriculum root directory, you can build that curriculum by running:

node [~/path/to/thunderbird.js] --build-dir=content

It may be useful to alias node [~/path/to/thunderbird.js] in your shell's rc file, so you can run it easily from anywhere:

alias tbird="node [~/path/to/thunderbird.js]"

You shouldn't alias it to thunderbird to avoid a conflict with the published version.
