Build dependencies

This is an extension to copy files from a dependency server (another directory in your file system) into your local project in order to build your project. This is useful if you want to use npm as your build tool, e.g. to build your Java applications.

General usage

In order to use this script, create the following config properties in your package.json file:

"config": {
    "dependencies_base": "Y:/your/dependecy/server/location",
    "dependencies_dest": "lib/",
    "dependencies": [
      "some-dependency-3.4.5.jar"
    ]
}

Then the only thing you have to do is creating a scripts part in your package.json in order to collect the dependencies and add this extension into your dev-dependencies:

"devDependencies": {
    "build-dependencies": "^1.0.0"
},
"scripts": {
    "dependencies": "build-dependencies"
  }
