assets-bundler

library2.0.0jsnpmunverified

A Node.js library and CLI tool for bundling static assets by creating symbolic links in development and copying files in production. Version 2.0.0 uses glob patterns and variable substitution. It helps manage static files from multiple modules into a single public directory. The tool supports environment-specific behavior via NODE_ENV or --env flag, with forced deletion before symlinking or copying. It distinguishes itself by mimicking module resolution with glob variables, simplifying asset management across packages. Available programmatically or via command line.

Install & Compatibility

Where this runs

No compatibility data collected yet for this library.

Code

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

default

✓ const bundle = require('assets-bundler');

✗ import bundle from 'assets-bundler';

The package is CommonJS only; no ESM export available.

sync

✓ const bundle = require('assets-bundler'); bundle.sync(opts);

✗ const { sync } = require('assets-bundler');

sync is a method on the default export, not a named export.

Demonstrates programmatic usage with async and sync functions, using glob variable :module.

const bundle = require('assets-bundler'); const opts = { src: './node_modules/:module/public', dest: './public/:module' }; bundle(opts, function(err) { if (err) console.error(err); else console.log('Done'); }); // or sync version bundle.sync(opts);

Debug

Known issues

gotchaEnvironment detection uses NODE_ENV, but --env flag overrides it. Without either, defaults to production mode.

fix

Set NODE_ENV=development for symlinks or use --env dev.

affects: >=0.0.0

gotchaThe `force` option always deletes the destination before symlinking or copying, potentially removing existing unrelated files.

fix

Use caution when specifying destination; avoid using dest that contains other important files.

affects: >=0.0.0

deprecatedPackage has not been updated since 2016; glob patterns and dependencies may be outdated.

fix

Consider migrating to modern alternatives like webpack copy plugin or fs-extra.

affects: >0.0.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Error: Cannot find module 'glob-ln'

Missing peer dependency glob-ln.

fix

Run `npm install glob-ln` in your project.

TypeError: bundle is not a function

Using ESM import on a CommonJS module.

fix

Use `const bundle = require('assets-bundler');` instead of `import bundle from 'assets-bundler';`.
