parcel-reporter-static-files-copy

ParcelJS v2 plugin to copy static files from some directory to output dir. There is no watcher - files are copied on build finish.

Install

yarn add parcel-reporter-static-files-copy --dev

npm install -D parcel-reporter-static-files-copy

Usage

Create static directory in your project root.
Fill it with your static files
Add plugin to .parcelrc:

{
  "extends": ["@parcel/config-default"],
  "reporters":  ["...", "parcel-reporter-static-files-copy"]
}

PLEASE NOTE: "..." is not a placeholder - it is used to extend default list of plugins (reporters in this case). Please see Parcel's plugins documentation for more information.

Run build - and that's all! Files from static directory will end up in dist!

Customization

Beyond the default settings, you can:

Name of the directory to be copied.

// package.json
  {
	...
  "staticFiles": {
    "staticPath": "customStatic"
  }

Specify directory to copy static files into

If files from staticPath needs to get copied into a subdirectory inside the dist dir - staticOutPath can be used:

// package.json
  {
	...
  "staticFiles": {
    "staticOutPath": "vendor"
  }

Destination of static files

Destination of static files can be set in plugin configuration. It will override --dist-dir parameter.

// package.json
  {
	...
  "staticFiles": {
    "distDir": "customDist"
  }

Additional example

Check examples directory for additional examples.

Flaws and problems

At this moment this plugin copies all static files from some static dir to output (dist) directory. There is no watcher on static files - only trigger is finishing build (no matter if normal build or serving).
