bic-build-if-changed

Build your packages only if they changed since the last build.

 

How it works

1. Look for package.json for bic config (example config - "bic": ["src"]).

2. Crawl the folders that are defined in config and generates a combined SHA-1 hash of all the files in defined folders. The hashes are stored in ./node_modules/bic-build-if-changed/cache.

3. If the stored hash of the project folders is outdated, then bic will execute npm run build
in the relevant project folder.

 

Usage

1. Install the package:

``sh
npm i bic-build-if-changed -D

or

yarn add bic-build-if-changed -D
`

2. Edit your package.json module to customize the behavior:

`js
// Only the "src" & "public" directories:
"bic": ["src", "public"],
// Disable bic for a package:
"bic": false,
// Use default directories ("src"):
"bic": true,
`

3. Use the package: (using with npm)
`sh
npm run build-if-changed

or

npm run bic

you can use -force (or) -F flag to Force Re-Build

npm run bic -F
`
3. Use the package: (using with yarn)
`sh
yarn build-if-changed

or

yarn bic

you can use -force (or) -F flag to Force Re-Build

yarn bic -F
`

 

Notes

- Only bic config directories are watched, by default ./src` directory is only watched.
