It automatically calculates dependancies. Packager requires a yml header syntax in every file, and a `package.yml` manifest file, as seen on the MooTools project. Packager API ============ [](#packager-api) Constructor ----------- [](#constructor) The constructor of this class accepts either a path to a package or a list of path to packages. `package.yml` must not be included in the path. ### Example [](#example) ``` $pkg = new Packager("/Users/kamicane/Sites/mootools-core/"); $pkg = new Packager(array("/Users/kamicane/Sites/mootools-core/", "/Users/kamicane/Sites/mootools-more/")); ``` Adding a manifest ----------------- [](#adding-a-manifest) - `parse_manifest` » adds a manifest to this instance Working with files ------------------ [](#working-with-files) ### Getters [](#getters) - `get_all_files` » gets an list of all files - `get_file_dependancies` » gets an ordered list of every file that this file depends on - `get_file_path` » gets the file path - `get_file_source` » gets the file source - `get_file_description` » gets the file description - `get_file_provides` » gets a list of the file provided components ### Converters [](#converters) - `complete_file` » converts a single file to an ordered list of files - `complete_files` » converts a list of files to an ordered list of files ### Generators [](#generators) - `build_from_files` » returns a string containing the source of the selected files and their dependancies - `write_from_files` » writes a file with the selected files and their dependancies Working with components ----------------------- [](#working-with-components) ### Converting to files [](#converting-to-files) - `component_to_file` » gets the name of the file that provides this component - `components_to_files` » converts a list of components to a list of files ### Generators [](#generators-1) - `build_from_components` » returns a string containing the source of the selected components and their dependancies - `write_from_components` » writes a file with the selected components and their dependancies Class usage ----------- [](#class-usage) ### Syntax [](#syntax) ``` $pkg = new Packager(`$path_to_manifest`); ``` ### Example [](#example-1) ``` $pkg = new Packager("/Users/kamicane/Sites/mootools-core/"); $pkg->write_from_components("/Users/kamicane/Sites/mootools.js", array('Type', 'Array')); ``` Packager Command Line script ---------------------------- [](#packager-command-line-script) The Packager command line script is your one-stop solution to build any of your packages at once. Works on unices. ### Syntax [](#syntax-1) ``` ./packager COMMAND +option1 argument1 argument2 +option2 argument1 argument2 ``` - `COMMAND` a packager command *(required)* - `+option` options for commands *(optional)* ### Commands [](#commands) - `register` registers a package. Creates a .packages.yml file in your home folder. - `unregister` unregisters a package - `list` list registered packages - `build` builds a single file with the supplied packages / files / components ### Registering a Package [](#registering-a-package) #### Example [](#example-2) ``` ./packager register /Users/kamicane/mootools-core » the package Core has been registered ``` ### Listing Packages [](#listing-packages) #### Example [](#example-3) ``` ./packager list » Core: /Users/kamicane/mootools-core ``` ### Unregistering a Package [](#unregistering-a-package) #### Example [](#example-4) ``` ./packager unregister Core » the package Core has been unregistered ``` ### Building Packages [](#building-packages) #### Examples [](#examples) ``` ./packager build Core/Type Core/Fx ART/ART.Element ``` Which is the same as... ``` ./packager build +components Core/Type Core/Fx ART/ART.Element ``` Which builds the passed in components (and their dependancies) using your registered packages. ``` ./packager build +files Core/Core Core/Fx ART/ART ``` This builds the passed in files (and their dependancies) using your registered packages. ``` ./packager build ART/* ``` Builds every component from ART, and their dependancies, using your registered packages. ``` ./packager build SomePackage/SomeComponent +packages /Users/kamicane/Sites/some-package ``` Builds the selected components using your registered packages and a temporary package that resides in /Users/kamicane/Sites/some-package, without having to register it first. ``` ./packager build SomePackage/SomeComponent -packages Core ``` Builds the selected components using your registered packages minus the package names you pass to -packages. This lets you build your components without dependancies. ``` ./packager build ART/SomeComponent +use-only ART ``` Builds the selected components using only ART of your registered packages. This lets you build your components without dependancies. ``` ./packager build SomePackage/SomeComponent +use-only +packages /Users/kamicane/Sites/some-package ``` Builds the selected components using none of your registered packages plus the passed in package, without registering it. This lets you build your components without dependancies. ``` ./packager build +components ART/ART +files ART/ART.Base ``` You can mix components and files ``` ./packager build Core/* > mootools.js ``` This is how you output to a file ### Health Score 23 — LowBetter than 27% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity11 Limited adoption so far Community14 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity41 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 61.2% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
