Package your code

The rootsdk build package command packages your compiled code for distribution. It creates a .pkg file based on your root-manifest.json.

Installation

Include the tool in your project by adding the following to your package.json:

{
  "devDependencies": {
    "@rootsdk/dev-tools": "*"
  }
}

Usage

rootsdk build package [options]

Options

Option	Default	Description
--output-file (-o) <output-file>	./rootapp-<manifest.version>.pkg (dots in version replaced by hyphens)	Output file for the generated package. Example: if manifest.version is 1.2.3, the output is ./rootapp-1-2-3.pkg. You can override this by specifying a custom file or directory path.
--project-folder (-p) <folder>	./ (current directory)	Path to the directory containing root-manifest.json.

Examples

Package the current project into a file named rootapp-<version>.pkg in the project root:

rootsdk build package

Package into a custom output file:

rootsdk build package --output-file ./dist

Package into a custom file name in a custom output file:

rootsdk build package --output-file ./dist/custom-name.pkg

Package a project where the source is in a different directory:

rootsdk build package --project-folder ../my-project --output-file ./dist/pkg
