Custom globs for npm dev/build

Creating custom dynamic globs for your npm run dev or -build commands can be very convenient.

  • When you have for example a lot of units that you don't want to run all at the same time.
  • When you just want to build a specific set of banners.
  • Or when you just want to automatically sort your banners without having to update your saved commands each time.

The globs are set up next to your dev and build commands in your package.json of your project. You can give them whatever name fits.

Examples:​

Below script only get the 300x250 .richmediarc files, for running on your dev server, since it is filtering the 300x250 folder.

package.json
"scripts": {
    "dev:300x250": "dds --mode development  --glob ./src/plain/300x250/.richmediarc"
},

Below script only gets the .richmediarc.regular units, for running on your dev server, but is checks all size folders due to the ** wildcard.

package.json
"scripts": {
    "dev:regular": "dds --mode development  --glob ./src/plain/**/.richmediarc.regular",
},

Below script is to build every .richmediarc.* file, .richmediarc.fr and .richmediarc.nl, excluding anything that ends with de.

package.json
"scripts": {
 "dev:en": "dds --mode production  --glob ./src/plain/**/.richmediarc.*[!de]",
},
important

Globs currently only work with sorting out .richmediarc files. For dynamically created spreadsheet .richmediarc files, you can't read their names out in order to filter them.
