Utility to post to plnkr.co

A tiny utility to post current directory contents to http://plnkr.co/edit

Usage

1. Go the the dir you want to plunk.
2. Run plunk

Or run plunk --dir path/to/dir --des "A string describing the plunk" --tags "comma,separated,tags".

Authorized usage

To submit plunks under your user and to update them, you need to be authorized.

For that:

1. Sign in to http://plnkr.co with Github (button in the right-upper corner of http://plnkr.co/)
2. In browser developer console run: document.cookie.match(/plnk_session=(\w+)/)[1]
3. Create ~/.plunk_config.json with the content { "auth": { "id": "..." } }, where ... means the output of step 2.

This will save an authorized session which the utility will use.

An example of .plunk_config.json:

{
  "auth": { "id": "56224aba860eabcdef869189" }
}

Now use it normally.

Exclusions:

• Ignores files starting with a dot '.'

Gotchas:

• Saves current plunk metadata in the file .plunk, uses it to update the plunk properly.
• A once-created plunk is bound to its directory name. When you copy it into a new directory (or rename), plunk will create a brand-new plunk. I found this behavior helpful, because when I clone an existing directory into a new example, it makes me sure I will not overwrite an existing plunk.
• The --tags flag only works when creating a new plunk, not updating an existing one
