Caf.js
Co-design permanent, active, stateful, reliable cloud proxies with your web app and gadgets.
Command Line Tools
This is a subset of the functionality of cafjs, see caf_dcinabox repo for details. It helps to build Docker images faster.
It has no Caf.js dependencies and its purpose is to avoid installing all the development dependencies while creating a Docker image.
Also, this package is always installed from the NPM repository, i.e., ignoring the local workspace. This means that we do not need to bundle the tools directory in the image.
Building an image typically requires the build, pack, and mkStatic targets. They are invoked inside a Dockerfile as usual:
cafjs build
but cafjs and other build tools are installed inside the image with:
ENV PATH="/usr/local/bin:${PATH}"
RUN yarn global add caf_build browserify@17.0.0 uglify-es@3.3.9 --prefix /usr/local
do not globally install this package outside an image, otherwise you will lose the full cafjs tool...
