Webpack Permissions Plugin

A webpack plugin to manage the permissions of output files and directories
Tested with Webpack 2, 3 and 4

Install

• Yarn: yarn add -D webpack-permissions-plugin
• Npm: npm i -D webpack-permissions-plugin

Usage

buildFolders (String: path) The directories to chmod recursively
buildFiles (String: path) The specific files to chmod

Files under buildFolders get file-specific permissions.

Simple: Directories 644, Files 755

const PermissionsOutputPlugin = require('webpack-permissions-plugin');

plugins.push(new PermissionsOutputPlugin({
  buildFolders: [
    path.resolve(__dirname, 'resources/'),
    path.resolve(__dirname, 'dist/')
    ],
  buildFiles: [
    path.resolve(__dirname, 'someFile.js'),
    path.resolve(__dirname, 'dist/app.js')
  ]
  // dist/app.js is redundant, it already got 755 by being included in the buildFolder above
}));

Advanced: Per-path modes

Mode: an octal string or octal integer (eg. 755 or 0o755)

const PermissionsOutputPlugin = require('webpack-permissions-plugin');

plugins.push(new PermissionsOutputPlugin({
  buildFolders: [
    {
      path: path.resolve(__dirname, 'resources/'), // Everything under resources/ gets these modes
      fileMode: '755',
      dirMode: '644'
    },
    {
      path: path.resolve(__dirname, 'dist/'), // Everything under dist/ gets these modes
      fileMode: '755',
      dirMode: '644'
    }
  ],
  buildFiles: [
    {
      path: path.resolve(__dirname, 'someFile.js'),
      fileMode: '755'
    },
    {
      path: path.resolve(__dirname, 'dist/app.js'),
      fileMode: '777' // Overrides previous dist/ mode
    },
  ]
}));
