Grinder tasks for releasing Dart CLI packages.
Dart CLI Packager #
This package provides a set of Grinder tasks that make it easy to release a Dart command-line application on many different release channels, to Dart users and non-Dart users alike. It also integrates with Travis CI to make it easy to automatically deploy packages.
To use this package, import package:cli_pkg/cli_pkg.dart
and call
pkg.addAllTasks()
before calling grind()
:
import 'package:cli_pkg/cli_pkg.dart' as pkg;
import 'package:grinder/grinder.dart';
void main(List<String> args) {
pkg.addAllTasks();
grind(args);
}
The following sets of tasks are provided, each of which can also be enabled individually:
- Creating standalone archives for your package.
- Uploading standalone archives to GitHub releases.
- Compiling to JavaScript and publishing to npm.
- Uploading standalone archives to Chocolatey.
- Updating a Homebrew formula to download from GitHub releases.
- Publishing to pub.
It's strongly recommended that this package be imported with the prefix pkg
.
Configuration #
This package is highly configurable, using properties defined at the top level
of the library. By default, it infers as much configuration as possible from
the package's pubspec, but almost all properties can be overridden in the
main()
method:
import 'package:cli_pkg/cli_pkg.dart' as pkg;
import 'package:grinder/grinder.dart';
void main(List<String> args) {
pkg.name = "bot-name";
pkg.humanName = "My App";
pkg.addAllTasks();
grind(args);
}
Each task describes exactly which configuration variables it uses. Configuration
that just applies to one set of tasks is always prefixed with a corresponding
name. For example, pkg.jsFlags
applies to JavaScript compilation.
