Mason-js is a JS client for Mason, the C++ package manager.
This project is:
- The first standalone cross-platform client for Mason.
- Makes installing packages seamless for node c++ addons.
- Could also be used in stacks that have nodejs as a dep.
- We are able to remove mason’s custom install scripts and house all of our logic in a JS client. Diff of install script vs mason-js in node-cpp-skel.
Install all package dependencies
mason-js install
- installs all packages from the
mason-versions.ini
file

libpng=1.6.28
libtiff=4.0.7
icu=57.1
proj=4.9.3

Symlink Installed Packages
mason-js link
- symlinks packages
Install a Single Package
mason-js <package>=<version> --type=[header or compiled]
- installs a single package
Example
mason-js protozero=1.5.1 --type=header
- Ability to
install
all packages from a mason-versions.ini file - Ability to
link
all packages from a mason-versions.ini file - Ability to install a single package
- Available on Mac, Linux, and Windows environments
- Tests via CircleCI & Apprevyor
In short, mason-js:
- Reads a
mason-versions.ini
file in the root directory of a project. - Installs header only and precompiled packages from the S3 bucket
mason-binaries
into amason-packages
folder - Creates symlinks a
.link
directory to package executables
Remote Package Paths**:**
-
Header-only:
s3://mason-binaries/headers/{package}/{version}.tar.gz

Note: The value of MASON_PLATFORM_VERSION
is determined per platform.
