You can configure the options for your Pecker-managed project in two (2) ways:

• as a JSON object in pecker.json for Pecker CLI, or
• as a JavaScript object passed into Pecker.Builder constructor.

Using Pecker options in pecker.json

Here's how you would pass in your Pecker options if you are using the Pecker CLI.

1. Open your terminal.
2. Run pecker init in your project folder

$ cd /path/to/your/project
$ pecker init # interactively create `pecker.json`
$ pecker build # build assets

Alternatively, you can manually create a pecker.json file in your project folder

{
  "name": "my-project",
  "baseUrl": "/path/to/your/project",
  "destDir": "./dist",
  "assets": [
    { "type": "file",  ... },
    ...
  ]
}

Using Pecker options as a JavaScript object for Pecker.Builder

Here's how you would pass in your Pecker options if you are using the Pecker.Builder directly in a NodeJS script.

var Pecker = require('pecker');
var opts = {
    name: "pecker-docs",
    baseUrl: "/pecker/dist",
    destDir: "./dist",
    assets: [
        { type: "file",  ... },
        ...
    ]
};

// create an instance of Pecker Builder with options
var builder = new Pecker.Builder(opts);

// build assets
builder.buildAssets(function () {
    console.log('Done!');
});
