filejoin-js

filejoin-js is a Node.js application used to merge multiple files into a single one

Installation

npm -g install filejoin-js

Command-Line Options:

-c     <path to config.json>
-r     <path to a root directory>
-t     <long pooling refresh time for watching>
-rcwd  (if this is set and no root file is defined, root file will be current directory)
-watch (enable this to start long pooling check)
-debug (use this for debug mode writing)

Config file sample:

[
    {
        "out": "sample1.txt",
        "in": [
            "input1.txt",
            "input2.txt",
            "input3.txt"
        ]
    },
 
    {
       "out": "sample2.txt",
       "in": [
            "input1.txt",
            "input2.txt",
            "input3.txt"
       ]
    }
]

Command-Line Samples:

Create a one-time build

filejoin -c /user/config.json -r /myproject

Create a watcher:

filejoin -c /user/config.json -r /myproject -watch -debug

Create a watcher with files and config.json in current folder:

filejoin -rwcd -watch

Code Sample:

var FileMerger = require('filejoin-js').FileMerger;
 
var merger = new FileMerger([
    {out: 'sample2.txt', in: ['input1.txt', 'input2.txt']},
    {out: 'sample2.txt', in: ['input1.txt', 'input2.txt']}
], '/examples/', true);
 
// since version 0.0.18:
merger.onWatcherUpdate = function() {
    console.log('some update done');
};
 
merger.doMerge();

customize the watcher behaviour by keeping cache data: (since version 0.0.24)

var merger = new lib.FileMerger(config, path, true);
merger.keepCache = true;
 
function selfWork() {
    merger.doMerge();
    setTimeout(function() {
        selfWork();
    }, 1000);
}
 
selfWork();
 
merger.onWatcherUpdate = function(args) {
    console.log('some update done for file ' + args.outputName);
};
 
merger.onCheckFinished = function() {
    console.log('check finished tick!');
}

retrieve existing config file for other operations: (since version 0.0.24)

var merger = new lib.FileMerger(config, path, true);
console.log(merger.getConfig());
