## Installation

Install with [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/):

```bash
npm install -g nwjs-macappstore-builder
```

## Configuration

The configuration of the tool uses a standard JS object:

```javascript
var config = {

    // Build paths
    nwjs_path: '/Applications/nwjs.app', // Last build tested with NW.js 0.12.2
    source_path: '/Users/johan/Github/my-nwjs-project/app', // App root (the dir with the package.json file)
    build_path: '/Users/johan/Desktop', // Destination dir of the .app build
    
    // App informations
    name: 'Your App',
    bundle_id: 'com.yourcompanyname.yourapp',
    version: '1.4.8',
    bundle_version: '148',
    copyright: '© Sample copyright',
    icon_path: '/Users/johan/Github/my-nwjs-project/icon.icns',
    
    // Signing configuration
    identity: 'LK12345678', // Application signing
    identity_installer: 'LK12345679', // Application installer signing (may be the same as identity)
    entitlements: [
      'com.apple.security.network.client',
      'com.apple.security.assets.movies.read-only'
    ],
       
    // App categories
    app_category: 'public.app-category.utilities',
    app_sec_category: 'public.app-category.productivity',
 
    // Additional keys to add in the Info.plist file (optional, remove if not needed)
    plist: {
        NSSampleProperty1: 'Property value 1',
        NSSampleProperty2: {
            NSSub1: 'Sub-property value 1',
            NSSub2: 'Sub-property value 1'
        }
    }
    
    // Optimization
    uglify_js: true // Uglifies all JS files found in the app (default is FALSE)
}
```

## Programmatic usage

Just require the module and fire the `build` function.

```javascript
var Builder = require('nwjs-macappstore-builder');
var show_output = true;

var builder = new Builder();
builder.build(config, function(error, app_path)
{
    console.log(error ? error.message : 'Build done: ' + app_path);
}, show_output);
```

## CLI usage

Each parameter of the config can be passed as a parameter:

```bash
nwjs-macappstore-builder --name=YourApp --bundle_id=com.yourcompanyname.yourapp [...]
```

As there are a lot of parameters, you may prefer this more readable alternative:

```bash
nwjs-macappstore-builder --config=/Users/johan/Desktop/build-config.json
```

The `build-config.json` file being a JSON object containing all the parameters described above.
