Build an SEA CLI MVP #49

jviotti commented 2 years ago

Potentially as part of this repository for now. The CLI would do something like:

Bundle the input package into a single JS file. If that's not possible, error out for now
Download the correct Node.js binaries from GitHub Releases
Inject the JS file as a new section using Postject
Bonus: Provide code-signing support
Bonus: Provide packaging support

I could work on the CLI part to have something nice but will mostly need help on some part with postject as I don't know it but I can that. I will maybe have some question on the topic

@sheplu feel free to ask any questions you have. I'd be happy to help out!

tony-go commented 1 year ago

@sheplu you can get inspiration from https://github.com/nodejs/postject/

I'd like to help on that anyway ^^

FWIW JReleaser is a release tool that can take binaries created by your build tool of choice and release them to GitHub and supported package managers. More information can be found at its documentation page.

Perhaps it could help with the package manager option listed above.

Closing this as Node.js does it already.
