#Experimental: this project is a work in progress.
Aurelia-cli-pacman is a simple package management helper for projects using aurelia-cli. It supports npm package installation/removal, and configuration of pre-defined bundle dependencies in
aurelia.json. This project's main goal is to enhance the package/plugin configuration process while usingaurelia-clifor development.
Since it's an extension to aurelia-cli, it cannot be used with JSPM or WebPack.
npm install aurelia-cli-pacman --save
Since aurelia-cli is still in alpha stage and install command is not yet implemented, I've created this custom cli task to enhance configuration of plugin dependencies in aurelia.json. It adds a pre-configured set of dependencies to aurelia.json, if there's any.
A post-install npm script takes care of placing this new pacman.ts|js task into aurelia_project/tasks folder.
| Parameters | Description |
|---|---|
| --install, i <bundle-file.js> | Install npm package and sets bundle dependencies. Calls npm install --save |
| --uninstall, u <bundle-file.js> | Uninstall npm package and removes bundle dependencies. Calls npm uninstall --save |
| --bundle, b <bundle-file.js> | Set bundle section to be modified |
| --force, f | Overwrite previously set dependencies (applies only to dependencies of specified package! It won't delete the whole bundle setting.) |
Run au pacman helper:
au pacman --install <package name> [--bunde <custom-bundle-filename>] [--force]
au pacman i aurelia-validation --bunde plugin-bundle.js --force
au pacman u aurelia-validation
Note: tested on Windows platform only.
There is a small dependency collection for several basic aurelia plugins and other npm packages in ./registry folder.
- aurelia-cli
- fs-extra
This extension can be used with NodeJS only. It's executed within aurelia-cli infrastructure.
Supported NodeJS version: 4.x or above.
This plugin is currently being developed. The initial specification and current implementation can be found in this gitbook.
