artifact-js

What is it?

The happy end of the a long tale how to retrieve a dream artifact.

How it can be useful for me?

If you need to retrieve an artifact from the artifactory by JavaScript?

How it works?

If you have a pro version of the artifactory, you can retrieve artifacts by REST. If not, you can use Maven metadata to get information about the latest version and with a little bit of work, you can get the the same result.

How to configure?

I like simple things. All what you need is to pass a few arguments (for details see bellow)

##How to run? You can run the script from the command line:

node ./src/artifact.cli

or use it from a code:

var artifact = require("artifact");

artifact.take(destination, descriptor, function (err) {
    if (err) {
        return;
    }
    // do some stuff
}); 

What next?

If you have a problem, write me.

Download artifact from a command line

Usage: node artifact.release --destination --repository -- groupId --artifactId --version

- destination - path where to save the downloaded artifact
- repository - URL address to the artifactory (e.g. http://artifactory/libs-release-local/)
- groupId - a group identifier of the artifact (e.g. koalix.info)
- artifactid - a name of the artifact
- version - version of the artifact (e.g. 1.2 for a release and 1.2-SNAPSHOT for a snapshot)
