ember-cli-deploy middleware?

Open lolmaus opened this issue 8 years ago • 3 comments

Hi!

One of the primary uses of ember-cli-staticboot is to host a static webapp on GitHub Pages.

But the fact that ember-cli-staticboot builds into the dist/staticboot/ folder prevents ember-cli-deploy from deploying the distro properly to GitHub Pages.

Could this not be resolved using the destDir option to change where the build is outputted?

No, unfortunately, because destDir cannot be /, i. e. the root of the dist folder. In other words, you can choose the name of a subfolder, but you can't replace the main folder with its content.

Here's a proof of concept: https://github.com/lolmaus/lolma.us/blob/b7c1163dccab5d21c4bc4245b0483da5f698fa4a/lib/ember-cli-deploy-manipulate/index.js

This thing took so much time and effort that I almost lost hope.

I had to monkey patch ember-cli-deploy, so this is not ready to become an addon yet. Gonna try contributing to ember-cli-deploy.
