JJPack

Zip and destroy

Scans recursively for all files inside a given folder with a specific extension, zips them, and deletes originals.

NOTE: This project is the executable standalone app that runs on Windows, Linux and macOS. For a NodeJS-based solutio try JJscript.

Usage

Copy the executable file to the location you want to be processed, e.g., if you want ~/projects (or C:\Users\projects) to be processed copy the file so that it is placed in ~/projects/jjscript.exe (or C:\Users\projects\jjscript.exe).

Run from console in Windows:

jjscript.exe

Run from console in Linux/macOS:

./jjscript.exe

Results will be logged to the console.

Arguments

By default, files with dwg extension are processed, and original files get deleted after processing.

This behavior can be changed by passing extra arguments to the command line:

jjscript.exe [extension] [nodelete]

Both arguments are optional.

Examples

Files with jkl extension, delete after zip

jjscript.exe jkl

Files with default dwg extension, keep after zip

jjscript.exe nodelete

Files with nrv extension, keep after zip

jjscript.exe nrv nodelete

dart compile exe bin/jjpack.dart -o build/jjpack.exe

NOTE: You can only build for a platform from that same platform, i.e.:

• if you build on Windows, you can only run generated executable on Windows
• if you build on Linux, you can only run generated executable on Linux
• if you build on macOs, you can only run generated executable on macOs
