MM Packer

• node.js

Dependencies

• cli
• mime-types

Installation

npm install mm-packer

$ mm-packer -s files/original -o files/packed

  -s, --source FILE      Source directory
  -o, --output FILE      Output directory
  -n, --name [STRING]    Pack files name (Default is pack)
  -k, --no-color         Omit color from output
      --debug            Show debug information
  -v, --version          Display the current version

API

const packer = require("mm-packer");

packer(packerOptions);

Example

If you've just downloaded the repository, run :

$ ./bin/mm-packer.js -s files/original -o files/packed

You should see the generated files in files/packed.

You can check the pack can be correctly loaded and parsed with the demo in the folder unpacker that uses mm-unpacker.
