webdav-sync

Sync a local directory with a WebDAV server.

This tool was created because I wanted an alternative method to work with the Demandware e-commerce platform without requiring their IDE UX Studio which uses WebDAV to push the code to the development server.

Dependencies

This applications requires a local copy of curl.

Installation

npm install webdav-sync

Usage

From the command line

Show help:

webdav-sync -h

Options:
  --remote_base  URL for the remote endpoint            [required]
  --local_base   Path to the local directory            [required]
  --username     Username for secure login              [optional]
  --password     Password for secure login              [optional]
  --curl         Default curl command                   [default: "curl --insecure -s -S"]
  --ignored      Comma separated list of ignored paths  [default: ".hg,.git,.svn,.DS_Store"]
  --verbose      Makes webdav-sync more talkative with complete curl command and timestamp 
  --help, -h     Displays this help

Syncing /var/src/code with https://user:pass@demandware.com/webdav/cartridge/

webdav-sync --local_base /var/src/code --remote_base "https://user:pass@demandware.com/webdav/"

From node.js

You can also include webdav-sync into your node app

var options = {
    local_base: "/var/src/code",
    remote_base: "https://user:pass@demandware.com/webdav/",
    username: "option@lUsern@me",
    password: "option@lP@ssword"
};
var sync = (require('webdav-sync'))(options);
sync.start();

Development

Simply execute cake dev to start continuous compilation. You may also want to run npm link so that whenever you call require('webdav-sync') it will always point to the current dev version.
