MintPlayer.FolderHasher.Targets

MSBuild targets package for computing folder hashes. Just install this package to use the ComputeFolderHashTask in your build process - no additional configuration required.

Installation

dotnet add package MintPlayer.FolderHasher.Targets

Usage

After installing, the ComputeFolderHashTask is automatically available in your .csproj files:

<Target Name="ComputeClientAppHash" BeforeTargets="Build">
  <ComputeFolderHashTask FolderPath="$(MSBuildProjectDirectory)/ClientApp">
    <Output TaskParameter="Hash" PropertyName="ClientAppHash" />
  </ComputeFolderHashTask>
  <Message Text="Client app hash: $(ClientAppHash)" Importance="high" />
</Target>

Common Use Cases

Skip npm install when dependencies haven't changed

<Target Name="NpmInstall" BeforeTargets="Build">
  <ComputeFolderHashTask FolderPath="$(MSBuildProjectDirectory)/ClientApp">
    <Output TaskParameter="Hash" PropertyName="CurrentHash" />
  </ComputeFolderHashTask>

  <ReadLinesFromFile File="$(IntermediateOutputPath)npm-hash.txt"
                     Condition="Exists('$(IntermediateOutputPath)npm-hash.txt')">
    <Output TaskParameter="Lines" PropertyName="CachedHash" />
  </ReadLinesFromFile>

  <Exec Command="npm install" WorkingDirectory="$(MSBuildProjectDirectory)/ClientApp"
        Condition="'$(CurrentHash)' != '$(CachedHash)'" />

  <WriteLinesToFile File="$(IntermediateOutputPath)npm-hash.txt"
                    Lines="$(CurrentHash)" Overwrite="true" />
</Target>

Skip frontend build when source hasn't changed

<Target Name="BuildFrontend" BeforeTargets="Build">
  <ComputeFolderHashTask FolderPath="$(MSBuildProjectDirectory)/ClientApp/src">
    <Output TaskParameter="Hash" PropertyName="FrontendSourceHash" />
  </ComputeFolderHashTask>

  <ReadLinesFromFile File="$(IntermediateOutputPath)frontend-hash.txt"
                     Condition="Exists('$(IntermediateOutputPath)frontend-hash.txt')">
    <Output TaskParameter="Lines" PropertyName="CachedFrontendHash" />
  </ReadLinesFromFile>

  <Exec Command="npm run build" WorkingDirectory="$(MSBuildProjectDirectory)/ClientApp"
        Condition="'$(FrontendSourceHash)' != '$(CachedFrontendHash)'" />

  <WriteLinesToFile File="$(IntermediateOutputPath)frontend-hash.txt"
                    Lines="$(FrontendSourceHash)" Overwrite="true" />
</Target>

Using .hasherignore

Create a .hasherignore file in the folder being hashed to exclude files:

# Exclude build outputs
dist/
*.js.map

# Exclude test files
**/*.spec.ts
**/*.test.ts

# Exclude IDE files
.idea/
.vscode/

Task Properties

Input

Property	Required	Description
