Experience
TransformFiles
The transformFiles function expects three parameters:
• An absolute path to the directory containing the files you intend to transform.
• An object with options, including the destination path and a Boolean value indicating whether the files should be flattened.
• A transformer callback function.
The transformer callback function receives an object with details about the current file being processed, including the filename, the source path, and the destination path.
I designed the transformFiles function and accompanying build-tool scripts as a complementary tool to frameworks like Webpack. Its flexibility and versatility make it an excellent addition to the development workflow
MyoCortex.com
https://myocortex.comI built this website without any front-end frameworks (like Bootstrap or React) or build tools (like Webpack). I made my own build tools using Node.js and created my own stylesheets and JavaScript utilities.
