## API

### var package = octo.pack(type, options)

#### type
Optional parameter to define the package type. Valid values are `targz`, `tar` or `zip`. If not provided this defaults to `targz`.

#### options.packagejson
Path to the `package.json` containing project information used to provide required package metadata.

#### options.id
Defines the `Id` component of the created package. By default it will extract the name out of `package.json` if present.

#### options.version
Defines the `version` component of the created package. By default it will extract the version out of `package.json` if present.

#### package.append(filePath, buff, options)
Adds the `buff` Buffer instance to the package named using the provided `filePath` parameter as a relative path from the root of the archive.

#### package.append(filePath, stream, options)
Adds the `stream` Stream instance to the package named using the provided `filePath` parameter as a relative path from the root of the archive.

#### package.append(filePath, file)
Adds the `file` from disk to the package named using the provided `filePath` parameter as a relative path from the root of the archive.
If the `filePath` parameter is missing, the provided path to the file on disk will be used as the filePath in the archive.
If the `filePath` is a glob pattern, then the glob is used to append files to the package and the other arguments will be ignored.
Supplying a folder path without being a glob will be ignored.

#### package.appendSubDir(dir, toRoot)
Adds the sub-directory `dir` to the archive. Adds the contents of `dir` to the root of the archive if `toRoot` is true (defaults to false).

#### package.toStream(function callback(err, data){})
Completes the packaging of the files and invokes the provided callback, returning an object containing the stream instance and name.

#### package.toFile(dir, function callback(err, data){})
Completes the packaging of the files, saves it to disk at the provided directory location and invokes the provided callback, returning an object containing the package path, name and size.

### octo.push(file, options, function callback(err, data){})

#### file
Package file that is to be pushed to server. This can be an instance of a Stream, Buffer or file path string.

#### options.host
Required property that points to the Octopus Server instance the package should be pushed to.

#### options.replace
Flag to force overwrite of existing package if one already exists with the same ID and version.

#### options.apiKey
Key linked to account with `BuiltInFeedPush` permissions. 
If `options.replace` is set to true and a package with the same ID and version already exists then the `BuiltInFeedAdminister` permission is required.

#### options.name
If a Stream or Buffer object is provided in the `file` parameter, the package name needs is required to properly store and use in Octopus Deploy. If this value is not provided and a path has been provided in the `file` parameter then the name of the file itself will be used.

#### callback
Invoked when the HTTP request has completed. The `data` object contains the HTTP response body that was returned as a result of a successful push.

## Usage Examples

#### Pack
```js
var octo = require('@octopusdeploy/octopackjs');
octo.pack()
  .append('buffer files/hello.txt', Buffer.from('hello world'), {date: new Date(2011, 11, 11)})
  .append('stream.txt', fs.createReadStream('./package.json'))
  .append('lib/myfile.js')
  .appendSubDir('dist/', true)
  .toFile('./bin', function (err, data) {
    console.log("Package Saved: "+ data.name);
  });
``` 

#### Push
```js
var octo = require('@octopusdeploy/octopackjs');

octo.push('./bin/Sample.Web.3.2.1.tar.gz', {
        host: 'http://octopus-server/', 
        apikey: 'API-XXXXXXXXX',
        replace: true
    }, function(err, result) {
     if(!err) {
        console.log("Package Pushed:" + body.Title + " v"+ body.Version +" (" + fileSizeString(body.PackageSizeBytes) +"nytes)"); 
     }
});
```
```js
var octo = require('@octopusdeploy/octopackjs');

octo.push('./bin/Sample.Web.3.2.1.tar.gz', {
        host: 'http://octopus-server/', 
        apikey: 'API-XXXXXXXXX',
        replace: true,
        spaceId: 'Spaces-1'
    }, function(err, result) {
     if(!err) {
        console.log("Package Pushed:" + body.Title + " v"+ body.Version +" (" + fileSizeString(body.PackageSizeBytes) +"nytes)"); 
     }
});

```
