Nuget static content packager and uploader

A minimalistic, node-based, standalone nuget packager for static content files, based on the sources of the NuGet client.

This tool should NOT be used for packaging .NET applications

Rationale

For those who want to create simple nuget packages with static files, and who would like to avoid running .NET/Core and the official nuget client.

• nuget-package-content takes a .nuspec refering to static content files, and: creates a hopefully valid .nupkg from that.
• nuget-upload-package takes a .nupkg file and uploads it to a given Nuget repository.

Usage

Usage:

• nuget-package-content <nuspec> <version> [<output directory>]
• nuget-upload-package <nupkg> <repository> <api key>

npm install nuget-package-content
npx nuget-package-content MyApp.nuspec 1.2.3
npx nuget-upload-package MyApp.nupkg https://nuget-repository/ ABC123

Limitations

What is NOT supported:

• Licenses,
• Replacement tokens,
• Metadata contentFiles,
• Dependencies,
• Assembly/Framework references.

What is supported: just files.

• Target .nuspec should be at the root of the folder containing the content files,
• Glob patterns are supported (using npm glob package for matching),
• Best effort to support file's target specification,
• File's exclude currently only tests exact file names.

Example:

<files>
    <file src="index.html" target="." />
    <file src="asset/**/*.*" target="assets" exclude="favicon.ico" />
</files>
