Where to place auxiliary files for posts

[soapdog]

Where should I place auxiliary files for posts such as images and downloadable content? Since the public folder is overwritten every time I run the build/run command I am not sure where to place such content.

Shouldn't we have a merge folder that on build would be copied to public much like theme developers do? Without this, harmonic users will need to change the theme node module to carry their files...

Should I do a PR?

That's makes sense. You mean files not related to the theme, right?

I think we lost this feature when we split themes outside harmonic's core. Do you have a working branch with such feature?

@jaydson We could add a src/resources directory which gets copied over to public/resources on build. Perhaps we could even do it in the existing copyResources method.

What do you think?

[jaydson]

Yep, should work. But perhaps, we should copy src/resources/* to public/*. I mean, just copy resources content.

[UltCombo]

@jaydson sounds good. :D

[UltCombo]

And we should copy it after building everything and copying the theme files, so that any of the generated/theme files can be overwritten with a custom user resource.

Then it may make sense to split the copying in two methods: copyThemeResources and copyCustomResources (or copyUserResources)

[jaydson]

Good approach :)

[soapdog]

Yep, that sounds good to me. :+1:

[soapdog]

Not yet but I can do it today and send a new PR if you guys want....
