Compile([folders: Array], [options: Object]) : void

Compile a folder into a Monkkey executable file.

Behind the scene, it :

• reads and check the monkkey.json file of the folder
• check if all files registered exist
• gather required files
• compress them into a tar+gzip file

The gathering and the compression are made in a temporary folder.

var options = {
    start: (info) => console.log(' [ ] ' + info.folder + ' : Compressing...'),
    success: (info) => {
        console.log(' [o] ' + info.folder + ' : Files compressed at :');
        console.log('     ' + info.destination);
    },
    error: (e, info) => console.error(' [!] ' + info.folder + ' : An error occured : ' + e)
};

// Compile the current folder :
monkkey.compile(options);

// Compile the specified folders :
monkkey.compile([
    'exo1', 'exo2', '/home/user/exo3', //...
], options);

Publish(url: String, filePath: String, [options: Object]) : void

Publish a file to the remote server.

Behind the scene it :

• doesn't check the content of the file
• send the compressed files to the server

monkkey.publish('http://domain/exo/4', '/home/user/exo4.tar.gz', {
    start: o => console.log(' [ ] ' + o.config.url + ' - updating...'),
    success: o => console.log(' [o] ' + o.config.url + ' - updated.'),
    error: (o, e) => console.error(' [!] ' + o.config.url + ' - error : ' + e),
});

Update([options: Object]) : void

Update an exercice or a whole project and publish it to the remote server.

Behind the scene it :

• reads and check the monkkey.json file of the folder
• check if all files registered exist
• gather required files
• compress them into a tar+gzip file
• send the compressed files to the server

monkkey.update({
    // Errors of compression / compilation
    compressionErrors: function(es)
    {
        console.error(' [!] ' + es.length + ' error(s) :');
        es.forEach(function(o) {
            console.error('     @' + o.source + ' : ' + o.error);
        });
    },
    // Push options, corresponding to the publishing to the server
    push: {
        start: o => console.log(' [ ] ' + o.config.url + ' - updating...'),
        success: o => console.log(' [o] ' + o.config.url + ' - updated.'),
        error: (o, e) => console.error(' [!] ' + o.config.url + ' - error : ' + e),
    }
});

// Light version
monkkey.update(function(o, error) {
    if(error)
        console.error(error);
    else
        console.log(o);
});
