Post-build scripts
Post-build scripts, as the name suggests, run after building a contest.
For Unix-like systems, if you run mapm build
with template TEMPLATE
, it will
execute ~/.config/mapm/scripts/TEMPLATE (Linux) or ~/Library/Application\
Support/mapm/scripts/TEMPLATE (Mac). Said script file should be a bash script.
On Windows, scripts are invoked using PowerShell. This should not be too big a deal, since post-build scripts should not be too complicated (in particular, it's probably just a wrapper for a PDF viewer).
For mapm preview, the template is "preview", and for mapm preview-all, the template is "preview-all".
These post-build scripts are not included in the template directory for a
couple of reasons:
- They are OS-specific, unlike template directories.
- They are not meant to be very sophisticated. They only exist as a wrapper for
Mac OS/Linux users whose PDF viewer isn't a default browser, so they can
query for a process with the name preview.pdf
instead of unnecessarily
running another preview process.
